Can I record video on my iSight?

How can I record a video to post up on YouTube or something using my iSight camera??

Hello GunsAndSmoke
There are many apps that will let you capture video or movie clips with iSight. However, for ease of use and integration with your Mac, Mac OS, and iSight, no app is better than Apple's own iMovie. 
You must have iMovie 4 or later to use external iSight and iMovie 6 or later for a built-in iSight. iMovie also lets you easily edit your captured videos to delete any parts that you do not like, add titles, video effects, background music if desired, and save your finished video to a video file format that YouTube supports.
See YouTube Help for info on how to establish your account and upload your videos. Once you have your iMovie video looking like you want it and have set up your YouTube account, posting your saved videos on YouTube (uploading) will be a simple process.
If you are using the latest version of iLife, uploading is even easier. After you have established your YouTube account, you can upload your finished videos directly to YouTube from iMovie 7's Share > YouTube menu command.
You can learn more about the newest iMovie at Apple's iMovie Support Page, the on-line iMovie Tutorial, or Apple's Mac 101: iMovie. Specific information on Recording Video Directly into iMovie is shown beginning on page 15 of the iMovie ’08 Getting Started manual.

  • I can't record video on my isight camera

    I have been trying to record video with my isight built-in camera and I can't get it to work. It says that I don't have a device that will record. What do I need to do? I have two MacBook's and neither one will record. I can use Photobooth but I can't record. HELP!!
    Thanks!!

    Hi Sue,
    I have iMovie 4.0.1 on my G4/1Ghz Dual Mirrored Doors running 10.4.9 and it will import/record from my Hollywood Dazzle DV converter
    AS I don't have an iSight I tend to think it will work for all Firewire cameras.
    iGlasses says it will help with USB cameras and iSights in several apps

  • Can you record video usb webcam

    Can you record video using final cut pro from a usb webcam? you can do that with quicktime. Can you do that with final cut pro? i tried import video from camera but it only shows isight camera that is built in the macbook.

    You can record live video from the built-in iSight camera that is standard in most macs (in fact, all but the Mac Pro and Mini). From other cameras, I doubt it. Of course, you can record with Quicktime Player and use the recorded video inside FCP X. But beware, many webcams have very low quality, low frame rate and size, so don't expect to get great video.

  • I can't record videos. The icon to switch camera to video is gone?

    I can't record videos. The icon to switch camera to video is gone. Anyone else have this problem?

    SImple first: try resetting it. Hold down the Sleep and the Home buttons until the Apple logo displays on the screen.  This will not have any effect on your data.

  • Can't record video on my 7390...

    Hi there,
    I just got my new 7390 a couple of days ago and for some weird reason I can't record videos on it...
    Every time I try to record a video clip it starts up the camera and then I get some kind of error message saying something like "Cannot record video for MMS. Please change settings"...
    I have absolutely no idea what this means and I don't know what to do...
    Can anyone please help me???
    thank you very much in advance...
    cheers

    To avoid this problem one should go to Menu > Media > Video > Options > Video clip length and then choose Maximum instead of Default which is set by default, or by decrease the quality and the video resolution.
    The note appears when the calculated recording time is less then 1 second (recording time increases as the quality and resolution are reduced).

  • Recording video using external iSight and audio using wired input

    I would like to be able to record video using an external iSight camera I have from my old powerbook, but I don't want the audio to record through the internal microphone...I want it to record through a wired input coming off a mixer...is this possible?

    Welcome to iMovie Discussions.
    "..is this possible?.." ..I don't think so. By connecting an external FireWire iSight camera, iMovie expects both the vision and the sound to come in down the same FireWire cable.
    If you need to use a separate audio input, you may be able to do it by connecting a FireWire-capable camcorder (..a tape-based miniDV or HDV camcorder which uses a FireWire connection to attach to a Mac..) and then feeding your mixer's output to the camcorder's external-mic input ..at very low volume, of course, so that you don't wreck the camcorder's input.
    This entails using a camcorder which does have an external-mic (or line) input. That way, the picture from the camcorder will go straight into iMovie, as will the audio which is being fed into the camcorder ..thus both reaching iMovie via the camera's FireWire connection.

  • Brutal error message OSStatus error 2003332927 Can not record video/audio

    I have QT pro 7.6 and since a couple of weeks ago, I have been unable to record video or audio.
    Any Ideas what this error code means and how I can fix it?
    thanks everyone!

    Hi there.
    After further testing I have found that the reason I was receiving the Brutal Error, was because of my DigiDesign Core Audio Driver.
    If I am using the MBox, and Digi Core Audio, (i.e Mbox I/O is active) Quicktime Pro will not record video/Audio.
    If however I switch back to the Mac audio out (disconnect the MBox), Quicktime Pro works fine.
    I havent had time to "fix" the problem in the Digi Core Audio, but this was the source of my Brutal Error Code.
    Hope this helps.

  • How can I record video without sound?

    I would like to record videos without audio on my iphone? Is their a way to record videos without sound in the default camera app? If not than does any one know of any apps that can?

    Do you happen to have your phone set for mute?  Apparently (with the Note 3) this would also mute recording of sound in videos.  Using normal recording mode?    Slow mo and other modes may not record sound either.

  • Program for/how can I Record video from MacBook Pro Retina camera on External HD?

    Ive been trying to do this for a long time, and have looked throughout this forum but cant find an answer.  All I want to do is be able to record video from the built in camera to my external harddrive.  Photobooth lets you record it but not to an external HD, and I cant find a way to do it with the new iMovie either.  There has to be a way or a progarm that lets you do something this simple, but I cant find it.  Any help is greatly appreciated.
