Video Effects FAQs
1. How do QuickCam Video Effects work?
The Video Effects technology uses Face Tracking to determine the location and/or movement of your face. Video Effects uses this tracking information to either map a Face Accessory over your existing video or completely replace your video with a 3D Avatar that moves based on your actions.
2. Can I use Video Effects with any camera?
Video Effects only works with a select number of Logitech QuickCam cameras.
3. Is there any cost for additional Avatars or Face Accessories?
Additional Video Effects content is free of charge.
4. Where can I purchase a compatible device?
Compatible cameras may be purchased anywhere Logitech QuickCam Cameras are sold, including our online store.
5. Is there any special software required for people to view my Avatar or Face Accessory?
No special software is required to see Video Effect content. The resulting footage is the same as normal pictures or video produced by the camera.
6. Does Video Effects work with all applications?
Yes, Video Effects will work with any application capable of using a USB webcam.
7. Can I make my own Avatar or Face Accessory?
Currently, Video Effects content is only available via the Logitech website. Due to the complexity of content, it is not possible to produce your own Video Effects.
8. How often is new content released?
Logitech regularly releases new Avatars and Face Accessories on the Logitech website.
9. My Avatar or Face Accessory is not tracking me correctly. What can I do to fix this?
In order to properly track your facial features, the Video Effects software must be able to see your face. Make sure that your face is not covered by sunglasses or facial hair. Also be sure there is enough light on your face. Lastly, recalibrate the Video Effects software to ensure best results.
10. I am using Video Effects with an application, but do not see an Avatar or Face Accessory. What can I do?
It is possible that a third-party application may use an unusual compression technology with their video solution. If you see video when disabling Video Effects, it may be possible that this compression is affecting the Video Effects output. If you need additional assistance, please visit the support site.
