From the content of your post, I suggest the program you are looking for is
by Serious Magic (now Adobe).
Not Ultra - instead look at one of the Visual Communicator series. (I use
Visual Communicator Studio - and it does exactly what you described, and has
the added advantage that the kids can use the teleprompter section to read
their lines to camera.)
This has all you asked for and no extra rendering required.
