Chapter 2: Using YouCam

Sorting Effects

You can sort and move around all of the effects in each Effects Room to your

preference by dragging and dropping them to the location you want.

Adding and Applying Effects

To add or apply an effect* to your live webcam video, do this:

Note: * this feature is not available in some versions of CyberLink YouCam.

1. Select the tab in the CyberLink YouCam tool bar to display the Effects

Room.

2. Select the tab that contains the type of effect you want to apply, and then

choose the specific effect to add or apply it to the webcam image.

Note: emotion effects are added to the webcam video temporarily and disappear after

a few seconds. All other effects such as gadgets, avatars and filters, remain applied to

your webcam image until you apply another effect or you select the button.

Using Avatars

To use an avatar* on your live web cam video, do this:

Note: you can create your own custom avatars in the Avatar Creator. See "Using the

Avatar Creator" on page 20 for more information. * this feature is not available in some

versions of CyberLink YouCam.

1. Position your face in the center of the webcam preview window.

2. Select the tab.

3. Select the desired avatar to turn it on.

Helpful tips:

• there should be adequate distance between your face and the webcam (30 - 45

cm).

• once the avatar is turned on, hold your head still for about 5 seconds so the

software can properly calibrate and recognize your facial features.
