CamMask
What it is
CamMask is virtual webcam software for Windows and macOS that adds effects to video for chat applications, websites, and Flash. Its feature list includes thousands of filters, distortions, backgrounds, particles, emotions, and animations. A face-changing function analyzes a face and expression before combining another face with it. Users can replace backgrounds, draw with paintbrush, fill, eraser, and stamp tools, and add fixed or scrolling text such as dates and times. Sources include a webcam, video gallery, image gallery, desktop, or gradient and solid colors. Snapshots and video recording are available, with a manager for reviewing clips or sharing them to Flickr or YouTube. Picture-in-picture supports two-channel and 2x2 modes. Output can reach 720p or 1080p, with up to six preset viewports. The site lists compatibility with Skype, YouTube, Facebook Video Chat, Google+ Hangouts, Ustream, Camfrog, Paltalk, and MSN Messenger. CamMask Free costs nothing; CamMask Pro costs $34.99, paid once.
