Aside from Motion or After Effects
Do you know of an app for creating video news like a news station.
In that the layovers are placed in realtime. And such.
Something consumer based.

Are you using "layovers" to refer to a Chroma Key-like process? This is the process where you have a specific colored background, typically green nowadays, and you use some sort of processing to replace that color with another video source. There are a lot of apps that will do that. For example, Stupendous Software has what looks like a great post processing green-screen tool. Maybe a search for "mac green screen" will get you what you need.

No. I was more referring to putting overlay animations on the screen in realtime in another view to be cued up on send, so the main screen "reporter" does not have a mouse and menus on the screen for the viewer.

Oh, more like what I'd think of as a weather guy thing than a "news" app. Sorry, no idea on that one.

I think he's talking about graphical overlays using the luminance key. You create the effects ahead of time in something like After Effects and then use the Switcher to composite them real time. There really isn't a dedicated app for it - what you're probably looking for is a professional-level Live Production Switcher, but if you want to add them in post Premiere can handle that.

yeah I was trying to avoid post. Seems like a simple app. Funny that a simple one is not to be found.

Well, I've heard that the Video Toaster is still used for live overlays. You would either need that kind of setup, a Switcher or some post-production work. It's really easy to do luminance key effects with a good switcher. But other than Video Toaster, there's nothing else other than a Switcher that really would be capable of effects over live video.

Op. Video Toaster is the app. Albeit a bit to much. That is the app I was looking for, to bad it's to pro in my case.
Hmmm, I wonder if I could set something up is Flash.

Considering that all the effects shots for ALL of Babylon 5 were produced with Video Toaster (actually the VT software running on VT's modified Amiga hardware), I can see it being "a bit to much."  But the software should do everything you want and way more.
