Q@mera is a free instant camera that creates lossless PNG images with alpha channel transparency. With over 170 built-in preset effects for both still pictures and live video, Q@mera includes pop art, retro 3D, and whizzy graphic effects, including vintage camera emulation.
Easily build and bookmark custom designs by dragging PhotoBooth or DotMatrix snapshots into the background or stencil mask. Add a paid license, and Q@mera can rebroadcast any Quartz Composer composition as a virtual camera input, adding dazzling motion graphics effects to your Yahoo!Messenger, Stickam or Skype chats. Redirect Q@mera output into DotMatrix for new creative frontiers.
Quartz Composer can now be piped directly into DotMatrix, Comic Life, or any other camera-enabled Mac application. Record a live performance with QuickTime Pro in Device Native creating a movie including a transparent channel for easy compositing in Final Cut. Use Q@mera to add unlimited Quartz Composer effects to any VJ application that supports built-in iSight. Select from hundreds of pre-existing Quartz Composer compositions or build your own. Limited only by your own imagination.
Q@mera plays any Quartz Composer composition. Like PhotoBooth, you can shoot instant photographs. However, Q@mera shoots PNG files which include a transparent alpha channel so you can drop your photos directly into web pages and iMovie projects. Purchase any Q@mera license and your Q@mera output can be rebroadcast back into your Mac as another camera input.
