Help recording video with macbook

Hi, I recently purchased a macbook with a built in isight. I have a youtube channel and am trying to record a video of me singing using my macbook as so many other people do. But when I go into imovie and click record with isight there is no sound, And when I try to do a magic movie it is always searching for a camera. Please help! All I wan't to do is play my instrumental track in the background and sing to it while recording. Thanks

Hi
Did You look into the System pref and the icon Sound ?
Here You select Sound-in. Does it read from Mac internal microphonee or external
in one way or the other ?
• Go up Left hand corner "Apple" down to System Preferences
• Select Sound
• Select Sound input

Software for recording video with built in i-sight for new macbooks mbp?

Does any software exist that will allow a macbook or a macbook pro user to record video with their built in isight camera at the top of the screen? If so, let me know. I need to document countless hours of reading the forums...

iMovie will allow you to record from your built in iSight as well.
Lastly, Conference Recorder will allow you to record iChat video conversations. It can be found here: http://www.ecamm.com/mac/conferencerecorder/

Record video with built in iSight?

My friend just got a new MacBook and we can't figure out if you can record video with the built in iSight. I know you can take pictures with Photo Booth, and from my research you can record video with the external iSight through iMovie. I figured you woud be able to do the same with the built in iSight, but when I open iMovie, it does not detect a camera. Can you not record video with the built in iSight or am I doing something wrong?
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4)

When you open iMovie look at the switch under the screen. You will see a camera on the left of the switch and scissors on left. Flip the switch to the camera and the built in camera should come on. Then on the screen it will say record with isight. That starts the record.

Problems Recording Video with Photo Booth

Macbook Details:
OS X Yosemite
Version 10.10.2
MacBook Pro (15-inch, Late 2011)
Processor 2.2 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Photo Booth: Version 7.0 (724)
Some background: It all started going downhill for my laptop when I got a "Service Battery" warning back in December. Thought it could possibly be a glitch from the new OS. In any case, they told me to wait it out till the Full Charge Capacity reaches the 2000s. It's currently at around 4225 and slowly steadily decreasing. I can't keep many applications open at one given time.
The problem: Built-in camera is working fine with Skype, FaceTime, etc. Photo Booth pictures are fine as well. Simply unable to record any video with PB. It will sometimes record, but during recording, the image freezes. Upon playback, the image is frozen for the entire video, and audio lags or skips around. Today it froze and actually sat frozen all day while I continued to use other applications.
Is there anything I can do??

You can't record video with PhotoBooth, you can record video with iMovie, or you can record with Quicktime if you have the Pro version. I would suggest using iMovie, create an MPEG-4 project, record your footage, drag your recorded clips into the timeline, then choose the Share menu and choose Email.
Baby footage will be on its way to the grandparents in no time!

With OS X Yosemite 10.10.1, cannot record video with the iMac's built-in FaceTime HD camera. Cannot find the "Import" button in the toolbar.

Just updated to OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 and cannot find the "Import" button in the toolbar to record video on my iMac's Face Time HD built-in camera. Trying to follow the steps found under "iMovie (2013): Record video with the FaceTime HD camera" on apple support posting but it seems to me that those were posted for another OS version.
Any help would be appreciated!

Hello Triunfo,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
If you are using the current version of iMovie, 10.0.6, you can follow the directions in the help article linked to below to import using the built-in FaceTime HD camera.

How do you record video with usb mic and have the audio from garageband be the sound when recording and not just your normal voice but garage band effects for youtube?

How do you record video with usb mic and have the audio form garageband be apart of the video when recording, meaning the audio from garageband and echo and not just your normal voice for youtube post?its not add the garageband audio its just normal voice from mic no effects is going thru?

Hi Life93,
What you describe would be possible by recording your video, then removing the audio from it and adding audio from GarageBand once the video is in iMovie (I presume here that you are using iMovie for your video production. Other applications may need different methods.)
See this thread on how to remove the audio from a clip in iMovie -

No sound when recording videos with iphone 4s - ios7

Since I have downloaded ios7 to my iphone 4s I am no longer getting any sounds when recording videos. When looking back at past videos I have recorded, they still have sound in the playback. I have tried resetting my phone and reseting it to factory settings. Any recommendations?

Hey Bryan3939!
If I'm reading this correctly, it sounds like you might be experiencing an issue with your microphone recording during videos. I have an article for you that can help you troubleshoot this issue:

Recording videos with N95

Hello.
I have recently purchased the Nokia N95 and am having some troubles with audio when recording videos.
When the sound is loud it 'crackles' during playback. This isn't because of the phone's speakers, as the crackling also occurs when I play the videos back via television or when playing the .mp4 files on the computer.
It would seem the problem is occurring when the audio is being recorded. Is there a way to decrease the sensitivity of the microphone that records the audio? If not, where is that microphone located so that I can try covering it to reduce the level of sound reaching the microphone.
Thanks in advance for any help!

The microphone is the same microphone used for voice. The opening hole is next to the charging connector on the bottom of the phone.
One way to improve this is to use the remote. When you have the Remote connected then the microphone in the remote will be used.
If someone would be clever enough they can develop a microphone that can be plugged into the 3.5mm jack of the N95 for better video recording.
640K Should be enough for everybody

How to record video with a watermark logo in Adobe AIR app?

I would like to develop an app in Adobe AIR. The requirement is that video recording with a custom watermark logo on top left. Anyone have any idea, how to record a video with custom watermark?
Please suggest some code or any reference, it would be helpful for all who is looking video recording.
Thanks!

Yeah I'm developing video recording ANE. It allows you to record the whole AIR stage, including anything you've got there (video, movieclips on top, Stage3D or whatever): http://rainbowcreatures.com/product_flashywrappers.php
There's an online demo for Flash Player on the website,beven it's not as good as the AIR ones because Flash Player encoder is really slow by not being able to use native code or HW acceleration. But it shows the layering on top of video.
If you want to make something like this yourself, you'd need to go the native extensions route.

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.

I'm 14 years old and i own an iphone and its like i could do more with my lame verizon phone. another thing is u cant record videos... all the money they are putting into the iphone and it can't even do some of the standard camera phone abilities. i'm just suggesting so don't think i'm like ranting about how the iphone ***** because its really cool i love it! not everybody has an iphone so not everybody's email is going to there phone and some times there are pictures id really like to send to my friends like the other day i was riding my bike listening to music and it started pouring then it let up and i saw a rainbow so i pulled out my iPhone and i took pictures and i really wanted to send them to a friend but there email doesn't go directly to there phone.

Exposure control errors when recording videos with...

I noticed that when I record videos, the exposure sometimes is not adjusted properly. If lighting conditions change, exposure remains at the same level, and records became over or underexposed. This is especially noticeable outdoors.
I have a few minutes long sample recording where the recording starts normally, then as light conditions change, (I slowly move from a shady area to a lit area) exposure gradually degrades to a point where most of the recording "burns out" due to extreme overexposure ( about 80% of the picture is white).
What confuses me is when I tried to reproduce this problem (albeit it different lighting conditions), exposure control worked pretty good.
I wonder if these exposure problems are due to a bug, hardware problem or a device limitation.
Do you have any tips to get better recordings with the phone?

The phone runs the latest firmware (3.36) available currently. There are no image-related changes mentioned in the 3.36 changelog though.

Record videos with N95 in concerts = Sound distort...

If i record video in a concert of music with mi N95, the sound recorded is distorted, I think it is problem of low. Is it possible to resolve this for firmware?

Nothing ou can do about it!
It's an inbuilt chip that the Record industry insists are put into mobiles and recording devices to ensure you can't bootleg their concerts and so you have to buy their overpriced merchandice. Also it send a message to the local copyright lawers, so expect a nice lettter in the post in a few days...........
JOKE!!!!!

Shooting stills while recording video with the SX50

Has anyone done this? I was shooting some video yesterday and was happy with how it came out until I realized that pressing the shutter button while recording video actually caused the video to insert a black frame and included the shutter sound. What is this?
My Kodak Z990 was able to do this same function (take pictures during videos) and even though some of them would turn out a bit blurrier than I would have liked, it never insert a black frame and sure didn't stick the shutter sound in there. Did Canon do this on purpose? I'm going to have to try and pull this video into some video editor to remove the frame and sound and hope it works.
Lesson learned, I guess. I'll take pictures and video separately from now on, just in case, but it's unfortunate that Canon screwed up badly on this feature.

Charleyhorse,
The items you mentioned need to be set before you start the video. Once the G16 is running the video, you cannot make adjustments to white balance, ISO, etc. The people I deal with all run the video for their G16's in Auto mode and let the camera make the decisions. But like myself, they don't use video very often, so hopefully someone with video experience on the G16 can give some better insight.
