FlexCaster is a multifunctional digital video creation software that integrates professional Video Mixer / Switcher, Character Generator, Video Effects Device, Broadcast Quality Chroma Keyer, Video Recorder, Web Streaming and more in one tool.
The application receives live camera and source feeds and allows the director to switch between feeds using cuts, fades and wipes, and to record and broadcast live output video content.
FlexCaster is a smart and economical way to create and delivery video and live productions, with no needs of custom hardware:
- LIVE PRODUCTION: with FlexCaster and some webcam you (on your own or with a team) can live direct, record and stream an event, in web or broadcast quality.
- VEE JAY: FlexCaster is the right solution to play and manipulate video on the fly, with playlists, live effects and Multimedia Mixer.
The software also includes Surveillance Mode (with motion threshold detection and alarms), and 3D Motion tracking (to retrive live motion data from cameras).
FlexCaster is still in developement state, (so, please report comments, suggestions and bugs), and it's available on Win, Mac and Linux systems.
It's powered by 
Adobe AIR & Flex technologies.
