Can I record movies with iChat backgrounds?

I was curious if it was possible to record movies in Leopard using the cool new backgrounds like Yosemite, Aquarium? If so how?

Open PhotoBooth.
Click the left hand tab for Video (looks vaguely like a piece of film)
Select Effect.
Press record Button.
Talk to your self.
Is this what you meant ?
(Also not sure on Time limit if there is one)
The File is put in Home folder/Picture/PhotoBooth and called movie (number).mov which is a Quicktime Movie

  • Can't record (movie) Photo Booth Background scenarios

    Here it goes, I open Photo Booth, select a background effect like paris or the waterfall, Photo Booth tells me to leave the screen area, I leave, come back, everything works fine. It's like I'm in the location I just picked. If I take a picture, it works too. But when I select to record a movie, the light on my Macbook's camera goes off for a second, and when it starts recording, the Paris backrgound disappears! It shows the real background behind me!
    This started happening when upgraded to Lion. Actually, I only used it yesterday, and that was after (2 weeks) I updated to Lion 10.7.2, so maybe this update is somehow doing this.
    I don't think the problem is my camera, because all the effects work. It just happens the moment it starts recording.

    I found a little workaround, I open quicktime and select to record the screen. So I open Photo Booth and select the animated background I want. It works, because my problem is recording. The background effect works. I can take a picture with no problem. Oh, you have to also select (on quicktime) to record audio, it records through the built in mic. The only problem, is that the image seems darker when I select the animated beackground. With regular effects, like "the birds" the image is very bright and colorful.

  • Can i record voice with garageband?

    Can i record voice with garageband?

    Hi,
    I am a Garage Band dunce (first time user). I’ve imported a guitar track as track 1.
    I launched a “new basic track” with no effects for the vocal track, but cannot get any vocals to show up on the meter before recording.
    I can click on track one (my guitar track) and I can see the meter move when speaking into the mic, but when I click on track two, I get nothing from the mic.
    I’m sure the answer is obvious, but I don’t see it. Any tips?
    Thanks,
    Terry

    Hi,
    Also try turning Off Face Time
    Open Face Time
    Go to the Preferences
    Set it to Off.
    Also make sure your router has the Time and Date/Time Zone set as this upsets Face Time which in turn upsets IChat

  • Movies with transparent backgrounds don't display in KN4

    In KN4, movies with transparent backgrounds (such as the countdown timers sold by KeynoteUser.com) no longer display when the show is presented. They clearly function when creating the slide, but not during presentation. I'm running the show on a MacBook Core Duo with 10.4.10 and GMA 950 graphics chips with 64 MB VRAM. This might be an issue with the GMA graphics chip although the movies worked perfectly with KN3 and earlier. Has anyone else observed this problem?

    The Keynote 4.0.1 update has fixed this problem. Thanks Apple!

  • Can't video chat with iChat 6.0.1 with Verizon Fios modem,MI424WR.

    Can't video chat with iChat 6.0.1 with Verizon Fios modem, MI424WR. Get error "Router type is Restricted, Port Restricted, Symmetric, or Unknown." How do I configure the router? I have allowed iChat incoming connections in my Mac (10.7.2) firewall. GChat and Skype work fine.
    Thanks

    Hi.
    You have to configure Port Forwarding on the Verizon FIOS Modem Router for iChat.
    http://support.actiontec.com/doc_files/MI424WR_Rev._G_User_Manual_30.16.0_v1.pdf
    Excerpt from pages 109 & 110:
    "To set up basic port forwarding:
    1. Click the arrow next to “IP Address forward to or select from menu” to display  a menu and either enter the IP address of the item to port forward from, or choose an item from the drop-down menu (choose your machine by host name, since the internal ip address changes from time to time, after the lease time expires).
    2. Click the arrow next to “Application to forward...” and select a pre-configured application from the drop-down menu (if iChat is not present in the list, you'll have to set up Advanced Port Forwarding).
    3. Click Apply. The new port forwarding rule appears in the “Applied rules” table at the bottom of the screen. "
    " To set up advanced port forwarding (custom ports):
    1. Click the arrow next to “Application to forward...” and select Custom Ports from the drop-down menu.
    Con
    2. Enter the host name (from the drop-down list) or local IP address of the computer providing the service in the “Specify IP” text box. Note that only one local network computer can be assigned to provide a specific service or application.
    3. Click Advanced.
    4. Select the Internet protocol to be provided from the “Protocol” drop-down list.  Depending on the protocol selected, additional options appear in the screen.
    5. Select the connection with which this port forwarding rule will be active from the “WAN Connection Type” drop-down list.
    6. To select a port to forward communications to (this is optional), select “Specify” from the “Forward to Port” drop-down list, then, in the text box that appears, enter the port number. If no port is identified, select “Same as
    Incoming Port.”
    7. If this port will be active all the time, select “Always” from the “Schedule” drop-down list. If the rule will only be active at certain times, select “User Defined” and click Add. Then, add a schedule rule (for more details about
    schedule rules, see the “Advanced Settings” chapter of this manual).
    8. If source and destination ports need to be specified, select Specify from the drop-down menu list (by clicking on the appropriate arrow), then entering the port numbers.
    9. Click Apply to save the changes. The new port forwarding rule appears in the “Applied rules” table at the bottom of the screen."

    Good Luck.

  • Cannot record movie with external iSight

    I'm trying to use an external iSight camera to shoot some video on my MacBook Pro.
    When I select the built-in iSight cam in QuickTime preferences, I'm able to capture video without any problems. When I select the external iSight cam and try to capture video, the green LED on top of the cam is lit but there is no output to the movie recording window.
    If I click on the red record button, wait a few seconds, and then click it again, I get a pop-up that says: "Recording failed because no data was received."
    The external iSight works just fine with both Skype video and iChat.

    I have the same problem. I have a mac pro and i have an external iSight that doesn't work, however my laptop works fine with quicktime and its built in iSight. It works fine with iChat and iMovie, but i cant seem to make it work with Quicktime X or 7. I also get the same error. The Video feed from the iSight isn't showing in QT, the screen is all black, the counter stays at 00:00 after pressing the record button.
    Ive heard of a fix, replacing this file: QuickTimeUSBVDCDigitizer.component
    I just cant seem to find it anywhere.

  • Export Movie with Transparent Background

    I created a lower third from a PNG with a transparent background. I brought that into FCPX and animated it. Now I want to export it and create a movie with a transparent background so I can use the animated lower third in other projects. I can't seem to find a way to make the movie's background transparent. How do I do that?
    Thanks, Happy New Year!

    Thank you very much!

  • Manual focus while recording movies with sony HX100V?

    does anybody know whether one can manually focus while recording movies (also in 60p) with the hx100V?
    wondering - that would really make a difference.
    thank you very much!
    dom

     Hi domi,
    After doing a bit of research on this it does seem to be possible to use the manual focus feature of this camera while shooting video. When you turn the mode dial to Video the camera defaults to Intelligent Auto mode, which will not allow you to manually focus your videos. While the camera is set to shoot videos you need to go into your menu settings and change the camera's mode from Intelligent Auto to Scene mode.
    I hope this helps!

  • Can't make movies with iphone camera?

    OK, I might be dumb, but I just got an iphone yesterday and seems pretty cool, but doesn't seem to have the ability to make movies with the built in camera. Am I just stupid or what? Every other crap phone I have had for the last 5 years could make movies so I just assumed an iphone would make them too and even better ones with the 2 megapixel camera. Am I missing something or is this some kind of astonishing lack of feature? I don't seem to see anyone else complaining. Maybe I am just out in my own left field or something. Wouldn't one just assume an iphone could make a movie like all the other cell phones? Maybe I am just dumb and missing something? I hope so. It has got to just be a software thing. If Apple can't manage it for some reason, maybe a 3 party developer will figure it out for them. Any help?

    Well, your comments sort of prove your point as well as one of mine. I guess I am one of few people who would really like to have the video feature even if it is compromised in quality. But, honestly so is the rest what the iphone does. It is by far not the best computer or internet connection (a desk top or laptop is), nor the best phone (a land line is), nor the best music player nor the best camera either. It is not the best at any of that, just obviously a really good almost-all-in-one product compared to other relatively similar camera phones products. So, yes, I guess I am dumb as I suspected and should have known better and not assumed anything - my fault entirely. But, since I hadn't heard any serious negative feedback about the lack of a video function or any other real negative feedback actually, I just assumed it had it. But, the reality is I guess most other people just don't care too much about it. Lesson learned. I don't care about the money and I am not interested in trying to get my money back or resell it. It is still a good product for what it is. I am just disappointed in the lack of what I would think was a pretty basic and common feature on other camera phones. How much extra could it have cost and what could it have hurt to have it? I am not sure what a good reason for not having it is, but maybe there is one, who knows. Anyway, I did fill in a feedback on the apple site, but I guess that is about all I can do for now.
    Thanks for the help. At least I now know that it doesn't have the video taking feature and it's not that I am just not understanding how to use it, which was the basis of my post. Thanks for the help.

  • Can you watch movies with lid closed on Powerbook G4 that's connected to TV

    Hi there, is it possible to have a Powerbook G4 connected to a TV and watch movies with the Powerbook's lid closed.

    yes, but you need some sort of device like a mouse or a keyboard to "wake" it up. can be wired or wireless.
    an app called "caffeine" may also work, you can try it, it's a free utility that keeps the machine awake.

  • How can I browse movies with Closed Captioning?

    I want to be able to browse movies with CC, and can't find a way to quickly do this. I used to with the Powersearch feature, but I can't find it within the new iTunes. It makes looking for movies a very long and frustrating experience, since not having closed captioning is not an option for me.

    OK i replied with the idea of repurposing ``genres because that would give you what you want. I do not think there is any way else in iTunes 11.0.1 
    So if you created a Closed Caption Genre and assigned it to all your closed caption films, when you browse Genre and select Closed Caotion then all those films appear in the roight and you can browse to your heart's content.
    Or if you require more granular control the Genre field can have mahy entries sepasrated with a comma
    eg CC, Comedy or you could go CC Comedy.
    I do not know of another way of doing this maybe someone else can help.
    Did you used to be able to do this in earlier versions of iTunes

  • Idvd can't burn .mov with error message

    Hi guys,
    I just finished a 57 min. project with Final Cut Express4 containing 8 sequences. I export them separately.  I burned them with idvd : File>Export>Quick Time Movie (self contained uncheck), I include Audio & Video as usual and save them in the Movie Folder as .mov; everything goes fine and I can watch them both in computers and TVs. But when I export the entire project with chapter markers (exactly the same way I did for the above), the result is different, and the idvd refuse to burn it, an error message says ”unsupported file type: broken reference movie”.   Those exported in separate sequences are shown as .mov with a picture icon in my Movie Folder while the other 2 exported with chapter markers are also shown with .mov but with a QuickTime Movie icon.  Although these with Quick Time Movie icon are not accepted by the idvd, I still can burn them through the dvdproj file, but the product can be played with computers only.
    I know I must have done something wrong but I don’t know what it’s.  Some one is kind enough to help please.
    Thank you.

    First of all, thank you folks for the responds.  I check back as suggested and found the following: -
    Hi Al
    All the Chapters Markers are more than 2 seconds apart and are more than 2 seconds from start points; all sequences are well butted without any gap in between.  However there are markers marked a few frames after the sequences started, which means the previous sequence ended a few frames before the Chapter Markers.  If this is overlap, what should I do from here?  Please walk me through.  Thank you again.  puisum
    Hi MartinR
    I am sure you read my response to Alchroma. You both having valuable points.  Now, this is a very good question “if I nest the sequences”. To be honest with you, I am not 100% sure what I did (because this project have been sitting in my computer for 9 months) I but I think I start the entire project with only one sequence at the beginning and I use copy & paste to make the 8 sequences after I put in the chapter makers.  At this point, I have found some problems on the Chapter Markers and I am sure Alchroma doesn’t mind to walk me through then I will take it from there.  Please don’t give up on me yet.  Thank you in anticipation.  puisum
