Hey all,
   I produce video podcasts on an occasional basis, and dabble with
video as an experimental media. One of the areas I've been interested
in is the growing space of live video production on the Mac.

In terms of Mac-based video production studios, I've heard that daily
videocasters like GeekBrief.tv use WireCast, while I've been playing
with the freely available CamTwist on my end. Today, I managed to try
the pre-release version of BoinxTV... and I love it.

Here's the feature summary:
- BoinxTV is an audiovisual mixing tool
- for recording video podcasts or displaying live
- overlay logos, a news ticker, or create graphical effects
- apply transformations and filters to the incoming video image
- runs on your Mac and supports up to three cameras

From my personal experience with BoinxTV:
- decently short learning curve in terms of user interface (i.e. video mixer)
- it's a beta but it runs well on my 17" HD MBP, even with multiple
cameras and layers active
- unsure if BoinxTV is capable of acting as a video source for live
video streaming (e.g. Quicktime broadcaster, Flash-based video
streaming)
- no idea on cost yet

Here's the page where you can register to be invited to try BoinxTV:
http://www.boinx.com/boinxtv/
I bet you'll get an immediate invite after registering there since I
got my pre-release today (I registered some time ago).
