VlogIt and Visual Communicator software from Unlike complex video editors like Adobe Premiere or Sony Vegas Studio, Visual Communicator and VlogIt do not require editing - they have an onscreen teleprompter, green-screening, scrolling titles and more inside a non-geeky interface for producing and sharing professional quality video quickly.
Adobe's current dominance in the vidcasting software market may soon take a hit as a Netherlands based company is developing a similar video blogging software called "The Cockpit" that will be free to download - they say it's a complete editorial environment for consumers who want to produce high-quality video.
Cockpit will have a full screen teleprompter and absolutely no recording time limit for vodcasts. When you’re in the recording process Cockpit’s interface changes into a full screen mode displaying just the teleprompter. Like VlogIt, CockPit also supports background images, transition effects, overlays and will let you publish video blogs or newscasts easily .
