Photo booth functionality lost: where is the video/background replacement?

Hi,
I used photo booth to replace the background with a video.
For the camera I use an isight camera.
but now in MAC 10.5.2 there IS NO BACKGROUND replacement.
It does not display the option to add the video to be used in background.
By the way there are only 2 pages or effects now...
where is the video/background functionality now in photo boot?
thanks a lot

Hello avalokitesvara
"2 pages or effects" is normal for us Dual G5 users. Dual G5s can't use backgrounds (sometimes Apple calls them "backdrops" instead.)
Whether the background/backdrop is in iChat OR Photo Booth, a Mac with an Intel processor is required to use backdrops/backgrounds.

ISight - Photo Booth stops recording silently when recording video.

Hello,
I often use iSight and Photo Booth to record videos, and I've observed this error happens all the times:
For example I record a 5 minutes video, (I stop Photo Booth at the time 5:00), but then when I look again at the file, it's less than 5 minutes. This happens 8 out of 10 times of recording, and it stops silently at a random time, means photo booth does not return to the waiting mode until I press the stop button.
Does anyone have this problem? Please help. Thanks in advance.

I must agree I am having a very similar problem myself. In my case, for example, I use photobooth to record videos requiring audio and video (acoustic guitar) and I will record one video which will be fine with audio, but randomly, the next video I record will not have any audio whatsoever, just a video of me playing my guitar. I'm sure other people with this problem know how frustrating it is, especially since I just tried to record an instrumental piece about 13 minutes only to find that photobooth randomly decided not to record audio this time....is there any solution for this?

Where are the video tutorials I saw generated from the PhotoShop CS.5 Installation Disc?

Where are the video tutorials I saw generated from the PhotoShop CS.5 Installation Disc? How to work on a face, New to CS5, How to strip in a background? etc. Very helpful. Want to get started here.

Thank you Curt Y. You're right. They're there. The tutorials are so smart. Don't know why they didn't download. With video tutorials "Live time" experts fumble themselves giving a perfect means for the user to absorb the "logic" of how the PhotoShop function thinks. There's no other way. Only a robot can, wants to, is motivated by boring line by line written description. I rather eat gravel than try and follow "line by line." line-by-line = ZZZZZZZZZZZZ. Have a great holiday season, whereever you are, whatever you celebrate. Trexlorx.

I am making a graduation video for my cousin using Final Cut Pro. I have photos layered over videos, and I was wanted to find out how you can add a border around the photos so they stand off of the video. Anyone know what I could do?

You would need an image editor to edit the images and add a border to the image first before importing them into Final Cut.
Cheapest and very good image editor?

They don't sync with iTunes. You access them from another application on your computer. For me, I use Photoshop Elements to get pictures and videos off my iPhone when it's synced. Mac users can use iPhoto to do the same thing.
Also, on the PC you can drill down into the iPhone folder structure from your Explorer window and copy/paste the videos onto your PC.

iMovie (Apple), Pinnacle Studio is another. But there a number in the app store. and that is just if you are limited to the iPad.

Where is the video sharing/ review/ annotation?

Where is the video sharing/ review/ annotation functionalty in creative cloud? This is a glaring hole in the work flow of this product. Is there a plan in the near future to incorporate this? Adobe already has this developed -- was formerly CSReview.....

How to change the Video Background Color - The Answer...Not the Question.

Hello All,
I was struggling with the Video Background Color as I was setting up my DVD. I'm new to DVD Studio Pro. I couldn't get the color to change from grey to the desired black. I was moments from asking for help, but thought to try just a bit harder. The answer lies under Preferences, Menu, Video Background Color. Just thought I'd share for future search strings by others.
Ahh, onward!

The id is applied by (I think) the skin class of the ChoiceBox. You don't need to define it.
You have to apply the css in an external style sheet. You can apply the external style sheet to any parent of your choice box, or to the scene (the most usual way to do it).
Example:
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.control.ChoiceBox;
import javafx.scene.layout.VBox;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
public class ChoiceBoxTest extends Application {
@Override
public void start(Stage primaryStage) throws Exception {
    primaryStage.setTitle("Example 2");
    final ChoiceBox<String> choiceBox = new ChoiceBox<>();
    List<String> tempResult = new ArrayList<String>();
    for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
      tempResult.add("Item " + i);
    choiceBox.getItems().setAll(tempResult);
    VBox root = new VBox();
    root.getChildren().add(choiceBox);
    final Scene scene = new Scene(root, 300, 250);
    scene.getStylesheets().add("choiceBox.css");
    primaryStage.setScene(scene);
    primaryStage.show();
public static void main(String[] args) {
    launch(args);
choiceBox.css:
@CHARSET "UTF-8";
#choice-box-menu-item:focused {
-fx-background-color: yellow ;
#choice-box-menu-item .label {
-fx-text-fill: black ;

Why can't I email photos from iPhoto as described in the video?

I have iPhoto 9.3.2 on my MacBook Pro. I have watched to video on how to email photos several times. After selecting the photos to email, the photos appear in the email message but not as described in the video. Instead of showing up in a pattern that can be rearranged (or changed) as described, they show up in a column on the left side, can only be moved from the column into a row, can't have text typed under them, and can't be resized. I haven't been able to find any solutions to the problems. Does anyone have any ideas?
Many thanks,
Jan LKL

Thank you for your reply. I do appreciate it.
There is a 2 minute video in the iPhoto help menu that describes how to email photos. I'm using my iCloud email address.
I might also add that the first time I went through the process, at least some of what the video described would happen did take place. It was after I attempted to select a different arrangement of the photos in the email message, which the video said was an option, that the process changed permanently, even after I deleted the account and started all over again. That menu of patterns, which appeared in a right side bar, has never appeared again. Every time I click and drag photos, they end up in a column on the left. I can drag them into a horizontal row if I want. I can put space between them only by using the space bar as if I were typing. They can't be rearranged any other way or resized at all. I've even tried opening a new email message directly from my email account, bypassing iPhoto's Share feature altogether, and dragging the photos onto the message but the result is the same. I have watched this video a few times, referring back to it at each step to make sure I didn't miss anything. I still can't figure out where the problem begins.

Where are the videos taken by iphone stored in iphoto?

I've taken a number of videos and still photos with my iphoto but only the still photos appear in Iphoto. Where are the visdeos stored and how can I retrieve them?

How are you moving the photos from your Phone to iPhoto?
What version of iPhoto?
By default everything you import into iPhoto is stored in the iphoto library - What do you mean by "how do I retreive" them?
To use videos in iMovie launch imovie and import the videos to iMovie
To use them with other programs select them in iPhoto and export with kind = original (see the user tip on exporting for more information on the current options in exporting)
What exactly are you haveing problesm with and what exactly do you want to accomplish?

Photo Booth: Have lost picture settings, i.e. color, black and white, etc.

I have somehow lost the ability to choose what type of picture I want. The selections have always seemed as if they were chosen by a not very bright child, but there were at least three settings that were practical and useful. Now I only have black and white. My guess is that the problem is similar to when you sometimes lose the menu bar. The question is, how do I get my different settings back?

Hello Niku,
Here are some things you can try.
(1) Does the problem go away if you quit and relaunch
Photo Booth?
(2) Does the problem go away if you restart your
Mac?
(3) Does the problem go away after you perform the
routine maintenance operations?
( "Routine maintenance" means items a) , b) , and c) from
Travis A.- kmosx: Regular Maintenance / General
Troubleshooting)
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?thr
eadID=196761
(4) If none of the above fix your problem, try
Travis's item d)
using the following specifics:• Quit
Photo Booth if it is running.
• Delete your
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.PhotoBooth.plist
file.
( " ~ " means Your home folder )
• Close all windows and relaunch Photo Booth.
• Check to see if all effects are available again.
• If yes, reset your preferences if you like.
• Quit Photo Booth when you are finished making
pictures.Please let us know how it
goes.
Cheers,
Jim
Apparently, it fixed itself. This morning it's back in full operating condition. Thanks for your suggestions , though.

Photo booth; how do I make a video?

It was my understanding that with a macbook you could use photo booth to take videos, not just pictures. I am SO frustrated. How do I do this?

nicoleaa,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Open Photo Booth. When the window opens, you will see three icons near the bottom of the window on the left side. Click on the one that looks like a clipping from an old film reel. Then click on the red "Record Movie" button, or select Photo Booth>File>Record Movie.

Syncing pictures and videos from pc to iPad. Where are the videos stored?

Can't find my videos on iPad. Where are they?

They should be either in the Videos or Photos app; if not you could try spotlight searching for them.

Does anyone know any good photo booths other than photobooth for the mac??

please help me. Im looking for new effects for photos it take.
thanks alot!

Hello JimmyStone
Photo Booth "effects" are commands that are built into OS X core functions, so all the effects available for Photo Booth are already in the app.
For some other ideas, look in http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1135958

Photo Booth got lost.

(Hope this is in the right forum.)
My Photo Booth got deleted by a member of the family... so i was wondering if someone could tell me where I could download it?

Hello Maaadddyy,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Apple does not offer PhotoBooth as a download. Instead, you can reinstall it from your Software Install Disk that came with your Mac or from your Backup files.
If you use the Software Install disk, select reinstall "Applications." (You will not need to reinstall the System Software, too, unless part of that software was also deleted.) You can reinstall all applications software or only those that you know have been deleted. If you have trouble selecting specific applications, see the Install Disk's "Help" files.
Please let us know how it goes.
