Webcammax full download Archives

Webcam Max can be used to modify a webcam image in various ways. In this respect, the results may be streamed on messengers or saved as files. Unfortunately, the application has a poorly designed interface, which sometimes makes using it unnecessarily complicated. And even worse, there's no direct link to any kind of help documentation.

The application supports real and virtual webcams. Moreover, it allows sharing video from individual files, complete folders and DVD movies. Likewise, you can also grab a specific area, a window or the whole screen. Together with images, the tool can also capture sound from different sources, although it seems that distorting sounds with effects is not possible.

Luckily, the program has tons of nice and funny effects to apply on the image. These include animations, backgrounds, distortions, frames and scenes. Besides, you can use external files as well and even create new templates. Another way to get many more of these effects is by buying the application and downloading them from the developers’ website.

All in all, Webcam Max worked smoothly, and even after applying multiple effects, it didn´t slow down my computer or cause excessive heating. Moreover, the clever use of a combination of effects may actually create very original results.

WebcamMax adds thousands of high-quality effects to your webcam feeds. It can record and edit video, too.

Pros

Default cam: During setup, we could associate WebcamMax with a dozen different apps and authorize it to handle other, unspecified webcam applications. You can modify settings in Advanced Options.

Virtual webcam: WebcamMax handles multiple webcams but works without one, too. It can display videos, still images, and other feeds in your apps and chat sessions.

Multiple feeds and PiP: You can display multiple feeds using Picture-in-Picture (PiP). For instance, you can chat and monitor another feed in the PiP window or show a video to a friend while chatting in PiP.

Effects: WebcamMax's Effects menu includes backgrounds, scenes, frames, filters, distortions, animations, and much more. We could doodle on feeds; add Flash, pictures, and text; and configure multiple effects.

Cons

Freeware competition: WebcamMax isn't expensive, but freeware with similar capabilities (though perhaps fewer effects) gives it stiff competition.

Bottom Line

If your webcam is active every day, WebcamMax is a better value, but occasional users might prefer a free app -- even a less capable one.

Editors' note: This is a review of the trial version of WebcamMax 7.8.7.6.
