Isight camera recording left to right in photobooth

Please Help my isight camera is recording left to right in photobooth

Hello Romeromckay
but its flipped when i do movies i need it normal for movies LOL ???
Only Photo Booth flips video clips. LOL ??? Neither iMovie nor QuickTime Pro flip video recordings. Use one of them if you want the video recorded right-way-around.
If you want to use Photo Booth to make the video clips, you can still turn them around _after they are recorded_ as explained in the link that Defcom provided earlier, but you will need to click on the link and follow those instructions.

  • Facetime camera reverses left and right

    I just bought a Logitech webcam to use with Facetime on my Mac Pro. Noticed right away that the image it shows me of myself is reversed left to right. For example, if I raise my right hand, the image of me raises its left hand. So I fired up my Macbook Pro to check if the iSight was doing the same thing. Answer is yes. My question is, is this the way somebody on the other end of a Facetime will see me? What id I want to hold up some printed text to the cam? It will be reversed. What is the point of this? Seems stupid.

    The point is that it's showing you what you "expect" and by that I mean it shows you how you are used to seeing yourself: In a mirror. The fact is that if you don't reverse the self-monitor image, people freak out because not only are they seeing themselves in an unfamiliar way (reversed from what they see in the mirror), but the movements "appear" backwards: When the self-monitor image is not reversed, when you move left, the image of you on screen moves right! Mirror-imaging the self-monitor display solves all these weird psychological issues.
    But...what I don't know is what is actually seen on the other end. Maybe the image on the other end is proper and unreversed. I would hope so, because friends normally encounter you as the camera would, unreversed. You'll have to test it with a friend and find out.

  • Is iSight camera recording disabled on the latest version of iMovie for Mavericks?

    Using the latest version of iMovie for Mavericks, can we record directly from iSight camera, or the software only allows videos imported from HD Cameras and PhotoBooth?

    Use the import button.

  • Isight Camera is slow with photobooth

    Hi ,
    My isight camera in photobooth is slow or delay for a second or 2 when capturing photos or video record anything. Is like if i smile to the camera , the isight in photobooth will only show it after a second or 2. Is there anyway to solve it or set it to real time ?
    Thank you.

    Open up another account to see if the delay shows up there?
    If you have any peripherals attached, disconnect them. Issue gone?
    Or you can see if resetting the PRAM helps. How much RAM do you have?

  • 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
    (have linked the list of Apps page)

  • Is there a way to record video from the iSight camera

    Running Mavericks on an early 2008 iMac. iMovie 08 says 'NO CAMERA CONNECTED." Recording from QuickTime Player no longer has a perference panel, and the videos recoded are jerky and sound is bad. I can't find any soluion on youTube - they all say just pick th iSight camera in iMove - which I can't. I thought maybe iMove10 bu the app store said my cideo board does no support it. Seems like there should be but I cannot find it. I don't want to have to buy Camtasia which is the only one that seems to work with the iSight input.

  • Movie not recording in QT with isight cam

    Hi all,
    My isight is properly connected to my G4 MDD via firewire port. I get this message trying to save my movie clip," Recording failed because no data was received. Make sure media input is turned on and playing." My iSight is connected and working fine. I see green light on front and audio is working. What can it be?
    Thanks for your help
    Web dude

    Hi
    My iSight connection is up fine when viewing it on my Apple profiler. I also did an audio test and it came up fine. I also connected my iSight cam to my G4 AGP tower and it works perfectly. What can it be that my G4 MDD displays "no recording was received."

  • I would like to transfer old reel-to-reel tapes to an iMac. There are different recordings on the left and right channel of the tapes. When I connect the tape deck to the Mac, I get one recording on the left, the other on the right speaker. What to do?

    I was about to transfer some music from a reel-to-reel machione to my Mac. There are different sound recordings on the left and right channels. When I connect with RCA cables and Y-connector, I hear one recording from the left speaker, another from the right side. How do I record only one side, but hear it from both speakers?
    Detlef

    You don't say what end, or connectors are plugged into what. I'm assuming the RCA connectors are on the reel-to-reel end. Since the tape has two different mono recordings, one on each track, you of course only want one at a time during playback. Otherwise, the Mac (or any recording setup) can only treat it as a stereo recording with the standard Left-Right tracks.
    1)  There are multiple ways to connect different types of cables to get a mono signal down to a stereo output at the Mac. Here's one way.
    2) Plug any RCA cable (single cable or stereo) into only the right or left RCA output of the reel-to-reel.
    3) On the other end of the RCA cable, plug in an adapter like this. That will feed the single RCA output into a mono 1/8" plug.
    4) Then plug that adapter into this. That turns the 1/8" mono signal into a "stereo" output with the same single track audio being fed to the Mac on both the left and right channels.
    5) Record either the left or right output of the reel-to-reel. Rewind the tape and switch the RCA connector on the reel-to-reel to the right channel (if you started with the left) and record that mono signal as stereo.
    Or, avoid all of this hardware mumbo-jumbo in the first place and do this:
    1) Record the audio just the way you have it. Two different recordings, one on each channel.
    2) Copy the audio recording to a new name and open it in your editor.
    3) Highlight the left track and copy/paste it into the right track. Presto! Mono recording of the left track on both channels. Save the recording.
    4) Repeat, only copy/pasting the right track into the left track and save the second recording.

  • Premiere Elements 13 (not Pro), recorded a video with mono mic input (left channel only), need to create 2-channel (left and right) audio track for finished product. Help?

    The question says it all. I have been all over the tutorials as well as the menus inside Premiere 13 and cannot find how to edit the audio track beyond basic balance, volume, etc.
    I can see the Audio 1 track, shows audio in left channel only, but it will not respond to attempts to select, cut/copy, paste, etc.
    Basically I just want to turn one-channel audio into two-channel audio.

    Sure you do not want to give the Fill Left and Fill Right another try?
    According to the Adobe document Adobe Premiere Elements Help | Effects reference
    Fill Left, Fill Right
    The Fill Left effect duplicates the left channel information of the audio clip and places it in the right channel, discarding the original clip’s right channel information. The Fill Right effect duplicates the right channel information and places it in the left channel, discarding the existing left channel information. For example, you might use this effect on footage shot with a monaural microphone plugged into only one channel of a camcorder, extending the voice of a speaker from one channel to both.
    From what you wrote, your Premiere Pro video seems to be saying the same.
    If that Premiere Elements Fill Left or Fill Right is no go, you might want to explore what you can do in this regard using the free audio editor Audacity.
    Audacity: Free Audio Editor and Recorder
    And, then import the Audacity edited audio back into Premiere Elements project as source media.
    Is the speaker system OK?
    We will be watching for your results.
    Thanks for the follow up.

  • Is it possible to have other recording qualities for iSight camera?

    I have just lashed out on +QuickTime Pro+, and the very first time I fired it up I thought: "Oh, Oh, I've wasted my money". Every other program I tried before I decided on QT Pro had the ability to use a variety of recording-quality settings for the iSight camera. With QT Pro I get just three:
    * MPEG-4 (320 x 240, ~ 264 kb/s)
    * H-264 (320 x 240, ~256 kb/s)
    * Native (640 x 480, 90 Mbits/s)
    Not much of a variety. You either choose the low settings, or jump to the high setting at almost 400 times the data rate.
    Is it possible to obtain a few more settings ( i.e. 640 x 480 using H.264) via third-party software or other technique?
    Also, can I turn off sound recording if I so wish?

    Thanks, RickToronto, for the suggestion about +QT Broadcaster+. A nifty little program and I'm sure I'm going to be able to put it to use sometime, but after testing the various compression options at 640 x 480, including NONE, I could not get the frame rate greater than about 10, whereas using the NONE option in +QT Pro+ allowed me to get 640 x 480 at 18 fps. There must be a fair amount of overhead in using +QT broadcaster+.
    Looks like I'll be sticking to +QT Pro+, recording using the NATIVE option, then compressing afterwards. Doing that certainly shows up the amount of computation needed for compression. It took my G5 about 6 hours to compress one hour of 640 x 480 @ 18fps (~40 GB). And in addition, I got the impression that the output looks better from +QT Pro+ than from +QT Broadcaster+, but that might just be my imagination.
    One last matter: one of the options in +QT Broadcaster+ -- the control options for iSight -- look almost identical to those I saw in a program called +BTV Pro+. Would the +BTV Pro+ fellow have 'borrowed' the look from Apple, or has Apple licensed them from him?

  • High Pitched Noise When Recording From iSight Camera

    I apologize if this has been asked before. I did a search on here as well as with Google.
    Whenever I record a video clip using the built in iSight camera I notice that there is a constant high-pitched noise embedded in the clip. You don't hear the noise during recording, and otherwise the audio is crystal clear during playback, but I can't seem to figure out what is causing this noise. Video clips I import into iMovie don't have this problem. Has anyone else experienced this problem? How can I prevent this from happening with future recordings?

    Hello obsidianspider
    I am sorry to report that you are one of about ten people who have posted here about audio noises during video recordings with MacBooks. I listened to your YouTube clip, and I believe you are hearing something. I can hear the muffled "thumping" of background noises being amplified because there is no voice or other close sound being recorded in your video, but my old ears do not hear anything high pitched in your video (or anywhere else for that matter.)
    I am sure Apple is aware of the issue, but with so small a number reporting this issue among thousands of MacBooks sold, I understand why there is not yet a kBase technical article on this subject.
    I expect that Apple searches its warranty & repair work for quality issues and trends, but, if you have not (and do not) contact Apple or your retailer for service on this issue, please report your problem via MacBook Feedback so Apple can accurately record the magnitude of this problem. Unlike posting in this user forum, "Feedback" reports go directly to Apple.
    We users who post here have found no solution yet, so the problem appears to require professional service for resolution.
    However, if you are willing to try a test, please post back and tell us whether video or movie clip recording applications other than Apple's give the same audio noise you hear when using iSight with iMovie. Apple's QuickTime Pro has already been tested and found to exhibit the problem.
    If you have access to an external microphone that can be located away from your Mac while you record video, you could also test to see whether you are recording a physical sound coming from your Mac or electronic noise being produced within your Mac's circuitry.
    If you want to read the suggestions we have offered for minimizing your audio noise in video recordings, take a look at the suggestions offered in Eemma's thread, which was the first to report this problem. The suggestions for minimizing noise start here:

  • Isight camera makes noise when recording in imovie

    I have just purchased a white Macbook, 2.16GHz. I'm running OSX 10.4.10 and all of my firmware is up-to-date. When I make a recording with the isight camera and the built in mic in Imovie HD, there is a high-pitched nois that can be heard when playing the video back. It is almost like a very fast highl-pitched beeping. I have tried recording with the "Use ambient noise reduction" option under the sound input system preferences turned on and off; it makes no difference. Does / has anyone else had this problem? Can it be fixed?

    Hello again, Hinsight4
    I have seen posts from three or four users about this problem on iNtel Macs.  You should try the suggestions offered in the other thread where you posted about this:
      http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=5112825#5112825
    If none of those suggestions resolve your problem, you likely have a hardware problem. In that case, contact the retailer who sold you your Mac, Apple, or your Apple-Authorized Service Provider for professional help.

  • Video recording using the built in iSight camera on a MacBook Pro

    Hello,
    Where do I find directions to record video using the built in iSight camera on a MacBook Pro?
    Thank you,
    Deb

    Hi macosxlover,
    Those are the instructions.
    Open iMovie
    Move the slider to the camera (use it as a drop down if more than one cam is available)
    Press the record button to add the video feed as a clip.
    Edit as required.

  • Camera Raw crops my image from left and right

    As you can see in the screen cap, camera raw inside AE opens my timelapse images cropped from left and right. I had this problem before in photoshop too, but never tried to fix it. I'm now in serious trouble and need to find a solution ASAP.

    I'm guessing that you cropped in camera and when you shoot RAW the crop is honored but can be removed. I would use Lightroom. Set up a preset that resets the crop and process all of the frames and then export a png or if you want to do some advanced color correcting in AE, select any of the 32 bit image formats and render your resized images to a specific folder. Then import the images as an image sequence in Premiere Pro or AE and do the rest of the work. Importing an image at a time into AE and sequencing the layers in nuts...IMHO
    One other thing, before you shoot any more images with this camera go through the menu and reset it to not crop your images.

  • How to set audio instruments to record in left and right channels

    I am a new Logic express user. I am using a PreSonus FireWire to in put guitars and mic's. If I use Logic Express to record my guitars from input 1 I only get sound out of the right channel. If I use input 2 I only get sound out of the left channel. If I use the Garage Band tab to input the same instruments plugged into either channels 1 or 2 on my PreSonus I get sound from both the left and right channels together. There must be a simple fix I am missing in Logic. If anyone can help me I would I would appreciate it.

    Hi t,
    welcome to the forum!
    There's nothing wrong with your set-up!
    MONO inputs to mono tracks,
    from the mono track you can add mono to stereo plug-ins and benefit from that.
    In garage band you have a mono input that showing a stereo channel, that's what what I have explain above. In Logic it's a blody waste of HD space (not to say wrong) as you recording a mono file to stereo.
    Think bigger and pratical now T, those things make all the sence,
    GB is so easy that can confuse us about the real thing because it's hidden from your eyes.
    Kindly regards,
    Jorge
