Simply Fun - No more boring chat face! No more dull presentations. Entertain with the sparkle of Quartz* in iChat*.

ChatFX brings outstanding visual effects to iChat using QuickTime*, Quartz* and Quartz Composer*. Normal teleconferences are plain. Talking and seeing people in offices and cubicles is ordinary. Spice up your chats and make them more memorable with special effects like those seen in movies and in PhotoShop. Effects like bluescreen (which is capable of showing any movie, tv, video, animation in the background of a video chat), twirl, comic book, alien, interrogation, pencil, vortex, dent, bump, bodyart, facepaint, fisheye, gloom, mercury, on fire, ogre, sepia, sorbel, xray, thermal, are included and an infinite number of additional special video effects that anyone can be created by anyone using Quartz Composer*. Adding tickertape on video is another possible use of ChatFX. Like the special effects in movies anything is now possible to add to iChat*.

Change the entire landscape of your room or office to looking clean, or mars, the moon, a forest, underwater, or any location real or fantasy. Keep it interesting. Create virtual sets like those on TV news and weather reports. Its fun but also has many practical uses in the same way movie special effects have practical uses. ChatFX combines the infinite possiblilities in Quartz Composer to produce video effects within iChat*.
