webcam WebCams and Watchout

[Guest Creative Hacker]

Watchout amazes me. I would like to know if it is possible to input a Web cam as live video?

 

Web cams are all i can get my hands on at the moment for a budget solution.

 

See what i would like to test to see if Watch out is suitable for it is if i can input live footage and apply a chroma key to test out virtual sets, but rather then using it to show over multiple displays I want to have multiple cameras show on a single display and switch between them for different camera angles?

 

I would imagine this would be doable with one PC as there is only one display ?

 

From what i can tell Watch out should be able to do all this just hoping there is away to get it to work with Webcams which i have in mind for some other ideas i want to test out?

 

Thanks for your help.

No problem. Either according to Jonas’ method of adding network video, or just by connecting the webcams through USB on your display pc. 

 

By the way, 6 or 7?
