WebcamStudio creates virtual webcam to broadcast over the Internet.

WebcamStudio is a virtual webcam software that can be used with Skype or a flash website like UStream, to create a professional looking broadcast, including banners, animations, transit animations and icons, etc...

This tool is not meant as a video editor but as a live video mixer giving you the possibilities to change the look of the broadcast on the fly.

Some of the features include:
    - Switch webcams on a single click
    - Show an IRC channel in your video broadcast
    - Broadcast your desktop for creation of nice HOWTO's
    - Be creative and put animations and banners
    - Display what song is currently played by Rhythmbox
    - Co-host a remote friend, show his webcam inside your output (PicInPic)
    - Connect to WeatherBug and display your current weather
    - Apply some fancy effects on each source
    - Have a green wall, then why not use the ChromaKey effect to do the same as the weather man on the news network
    - Use all kinds of devices as webcamera like a MiniDV, your iPhone, etc....

More features to come.
