Web Cam Effects
CyberLink YouCam has several effects that you can apply to your live
web cam image. When applied, a user viewing your web cam will
instantly see the effect. These effects will also be applied to any photo
snapshots or web cam video you are recording at the time.
The following types of effects are available within CyberLink YouCam:
• Emotion effects: Emotion effects are temporary effects that
help you express an emotion or appreciation to the web cam
viewer.
• Avatars: Avatars are character effects that use facial feature
tracking to mimic your face movement and actions (This
feature is not available in the LE version of CyberLink YouCam).
Use an avatar if you are feeling a little camera shy or if you want
to record a video with different characters.
Note: Frames, filters and distortions cannot be applied to avatars. The web
cam video will revert to the original video when one of these are applied.
• Applied frames, filters and distortions: CyberLink YouCam
lets you apply frame borders and filters to your web cam video.
You may also distort the current web cam video by using one of
the available distortions.
• Freehand drawings: CyberLink YouCam lets you perform
drawings on the web cam video image in both IM and Stand
Alone Modes. You may also select from a number of stamp
icons to apply to the video.
Sorting and Viewing Effects
When viewing effects, select to view smaller effect thumbnails, or

You can also sort and move around effects to your liking by dragging
