WebCam Companion 3

New ways to get creative with your webcam!

Photo and Video Capturing

You don’t need a high-end digital video camera to make fun
movies, and share them with friends and family. WebCam
Companion makes capturing and editing video from your webcam
fast and fun. Also preview photos and videos in full screen view,
add animation effects to photos, and upload to YouTube.

Smart Video Enhancement

By using ArcSoft Noise Reduction, noise on webcam video will
be greatly minimized. The video quality is always poor for scenes
with lighting variations such as shadows and when color shifts
in illumination occurs. You can use the ArcSoft Dynamic Lighting
technology to improve the quality of real time video preview.

Pose Detection

With the Fun Frame application, automatically snap photos, adjust
the pose detection sensitivity, select a variety of layouts and
templates for printing, and select frame templates by category.

Masque your photos

Have fun and get creative with a morphing tool to integrate
your face into another character, and then snap a photo.
Preview your pictures with picture in picture, fit in view, portrait
view, zoom in/out, and flip tools. Create a template by loading
any pictures and then edit them with a variety of tools.

Editing Snapshots

Webcams are used primarily to stream video, but WebCam
Companion lets you take snapshots with a variety of editing
