I can't record straight into iMovie with my built in iSight

My built-in iSight works with iChat and Photo Booth, but not iMovie. How do I fix this?

Hi
Under the viewer (Window that plays Your clips or movie) You can select
editing or Camera. On my Camera button there is a smal black triangle.
Click on this and select iSight.

Can I Record My Acoustic Guitar With The Built-in Mic?

Hi everybody!
I've been wondering that can i record the acoustic sound of my guitar with the built-in micro in my Powerbook G4?
Because my guitar doesn't have the out-put port for the cable that's why i want to use the Mic included in the PWB or the one built-in in my webcam(with USP port)....
Could anybody tell me how to set it up please?Thanks for your helps.
ibook G4 8oomhz 640mb Mac OS X (10.3.9)

By Default your PowerBooks should be ready to record with the PB's Built-Mic. just create a New Basic Track and hit record.

Captuiring HDV straight into iMovie from Canon HV20?

Is it possible to do a long capture straight into iMovie on a G5 iMac?
I know we can do DV easily, but was wondering about the AIC/HDV issue.
Thanks for any insight I can pass on to students before they try it,
Rosco in California

"..Does video shot on an HV20 have to be imported through an HV20? Or can I import by some other means?.."
You can import via some other camera which can play the same system you recorded with. In other words, you could import an HDV (hi-def) 30fps recording made with your Canon by putting that tape into a Sony HDV camcorder and importing it from the Sony.
However, if the Sony can't make sense of your 24fps recording (..and Sonys have their own way of "manufacturing" 24fps, by taking various fields from different video frames..) then it might import badly ..or may replay at twice the normal speed.
If you connect the camera, click on the apple logo at top-left of your screen and choose 'About This Mac' and then click on 'More Info...' and choose 'FireWire' in the left-hand column of 'System Profiler' ..does your camera show up there? If not, it may be that the FireWire port on your Canon isn't working properly ..or maybe you've a bad FireWire cable. I don't have an HV20, so I can't suggest any other ideas, sorry ..but use Search Discussions at top-right of this page to find out if others have had - and solved - this problem.

Record directly into iMovie?

I was wondering if I could set up a camera, and record directly into iMovie. I have a long program I need record, and would love to record (import) directly into iMovie.

Yes you can. But there may be occasional short pauses while your Mac "takes a breath" and indexes what it's storing on your hard disc, etc.
Remember that DV video takes up about 13 gigabytes of space per hour, so you'll need that much free space on your disc per hour of recording, and keep about 10% of your total hard disc space free, so that your Mac can still do its internal housekeeping.
You'll need, of course a camcorder with a FireWire/DV/i.Link connection (..all the same thing; just different names for it!..) which generally means a tape-based miniDV camcorder.
(..Although hi-def HDV camcorders have the same FireWire connection, and record onto the same miniDV tape, there's quite an 'overhead' of processing power which your Mac requires in order to convert the incoming hi-def video into the 'Apple Intermediate Codec' format which lets iMovie edit hi-def, so I'd stick with standard-definition DV if I were you!..)*
Depending on the make and model of camera, you may need to put a tape in the camera - or not - and switch it to either Record or VCR mode. (..In a quick test here I've just turned on my Sony camera in 'Camera' mode with a FireWire cable connected, and iMovie is displaying the picture from the camera, and imports it when I click iMovie's "Import" button..)
"..I have a long program I need record.." ..erm, if you're pointing it at a TV screen to record that, you'd want the camera on some sort of support, and - if you have Manual Focus - you may want to de-focus slightly to avoid the moiré pattern which you might get from tightly focused dots (pixels) on the screen. You'd also want to adjust the camera's White Balance so that the screen looks the right colour!
*P.S: hi-def HDV takes up more than 13GB per hour, so if you were to use hi-def HDV you'd need to allow much more (..up to 4x more..) hard disc space per hour of recording!

I have an iMAC Intel Base. Since I updated to OSX Mavericks I can't record myself on iMovie.

I have a MAC Intel Base.
Since I updated my comp to the OSX Mavericks I can't record myself on iMovie.
Before the update this would never happen. I would simply click on my little VideoCamera record button
and presto it would work.
Now all of a sudden I click on my little video camera record button & all I get is an error message
"No Camera Connected / To import video, please connect a camera"
Last time I checked my MAC is equipped with its own camera so I don’t understand why its not picking up on its own camera.
I've also already tried recording myself on QuickTime Player..... BUT I can't even upload or transfer my QuickTime Player to
import into my iMovie. This is so frustrating and I have no idea what to do or why it even started doing this.
To top this all off, coincidentally everything started going to **** when I updated to the OSX Mavericks.
Please help.

I see the same dialog and definitely can't locate the app on the App Store.

Recording directly into imovie from Camcorder

Does anyone know if you can record directly into imovie from your camcorder without using the small cassette tapes?

Without information on the make and model of the camcorder, it's difficult to provide a specific answer.

How can I see the whole week with calendar built-in app ? My husband has an ipad and he can see the whole week and the whole year... is it possible with iphone 4 ?

What you see is what is available.
Turning the iPhone into landscape mode with Month, Day, or List view selected provides the closest thing to seeing an entire week.

Says I can't import recorded sound into iMovie because I the files don't have iLife preview

Hi,
I am trying to either record sound directly onto iMovie to use as a voiceover or record on Garageband and then import it to iMovie. I have not found a way to record on iMovie, so I was trying to do it on garageband, but when I try to open the file on iMovie, it says I can not because it does not have iLife preview. I have a new Macbook Pro with Retina Display.
Thank you!

Hi avalewinter,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you would like to record a voiceover directly in iMovie. To accomplish this, please use the instructions located in the attached article.
iMovie (2013): Add audio and music
Record a voiceover
You can record your own narration to add to your movie.
Position the playhead where you want to start recording in the timeline, and choose Window > Record Voiceover.The voiceover recording controls appear below the viewer.
To adjust the recording settings, do any of the following:
To change the input device: Click the Voiceover Options button, and choose an option from the Input Source pop-up menu.
To adjust the input level of the microphone: Click the Voiceover Options button, and drag the Volume slider right to increase the volume of what is being recorded, or left to decrease it. You can monitor the audio levels by using the built-in audio meter on the Record button. You should set the volume so that the audio meter in the microphone (the Record button) stays green, even when your voice is at its loudest.
To mute sound from other clips while recording: Click the Voiceover Options button, and select the Mute Project checkbox.
To start recording, click the Record button.
To stop recording, click the Record button again (or press the Space bar).The recorded audio appears as a new clip in the timeline, above the background music. The voiceover clip is attached to the clip that was below the playhead when the recording was started. The track is named VO: Movie Name - Date, where “Movie Name” is the name of your movie, and “Date” is the date of the recording.
Click the close button to dismiss the voiceover recording controls.
Best regards,
Joe

Importing a Skype recording into iMovie with BOTH audio channels intact

Today I bought Call Recorder from ecamm; this is software designed to record video and/or audio from Skype conversations. Today I successfully recorded a Skype phone call, resulting in a .MOV file that contained both people in the conversation. But when I export this file into iMovie, I get only one voice!
I've converted the .MOV file to MP3, Apple Lossless, and m4a formats, but I still get only the person on the other end of the line, without my voice included in the file.
How can I export the file into iMovie so that BOTH channels are retained?
Thank you!

Lennart usually quotes Fred Shippey on this:
If it's an AVCHD hard disc camcorder, try using Voltaic for converting to DV format. (..I haven't tried that - I don't have a hard disc camcorder - so I don't know how easy or not it is..)
For other kinds of non-tape camcorder, e.g; miniDVD, hard disc, memory chip, the usual means is to use MPEG Streamclip (..which is a free download..) and you'll also need Apple's MPEG-2 Component, which is a $19.99 download from Apple.
In both cases, convert to .dv.
Oooh, sorry Lennart; I didn't see you there!
