Photo Booth movie length

I've tried several times to create movies in Photo Booth. I recently just tried to make one that I thought was recorded for three minutes. When I pressed the stop button only 1minute 7 seconds of it was recorded. How do I change this? Thanks.

No matter how hard you wish, there is not one that I know.

In the meantime, we will hope that yours is one of the rare cases that lends itself to a DIY fix that you have not already discovered!

Is my photo booth movie permanently deleted when I push x in the thumbnail?

I pushed x in the thumbnail of a movie I was watching in photo booth because I thought it would pause it. Without warning it dissapeared. Is there a way I can get it back?

Hello Caleb
I tried this on my Mac, and here is what I found.
Click on the "Trash" iCon in your Dock. If you have not emptied Trash, your deleted video clip should be there. You can drag it out of Trash and play it with QuickTime Player.
However, even if you drag it back into your Pictures > Photo Booth folder, Photo Booth thinks it is gone. The filename has been deleted from Photo Booth's database.
You can use the file you have retrieved from trash, but if you for some reason need to have it in your Photo Booth tray, you will need to recreate the movie using Photo Booth.

If a simple restart after repairing permissions does not return the sound try the solutions mentioned in http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300832

Quicktime file from Photo Booth not playing.

I recently restored a Photo Booth movie from Time Machine. After attempting to play it it read "The document “Movie on 2010-01-23 at 03.35” could not be opened. The movie is not in a format that QuickTime Player understands." I have no idea what this means. The file is reading as a Quicktime file.

Hello,
did you try to open video clip from VLC or any other media player ?
good luck

Photo Booth Audio and Logic

I was messing around with Photo Booth today while at the computer learning some songs on my bass and just started recording video in photo booth. On playback the audio is on the left only. I'm recording thru the instrument input of a Apogee duet firewire I/O it has two inst inputs 1 is going left 2 is going right. I see there are no audio preferences in photo booth to get the audio to play center being mono.Anyone recording video and audio in photo booth thru a external device have this issue? I thought by importing into Logic I could center it.
When importing the photo booth movie into Logic the audio will play center by making it a mono track.Exporting out of Logic as a stereo still results in a hotter left side. I guess if I were recording thru the Mac inputs it would playback center.

In Photo Booth, right-click on the video and either Export or Reveal in Finder. Either way, then open and play it with QuickTime. Is audio and video still out of sync?

IMovie and Photo Booth

I recorded a video using my macbook pro (late 2013) using Photo Booth and I then imported it to iPhoto, I am trying to edit it using iMovie (also on my macbook) I can't edit the footage and it just doesn't pop up in the bar where you select which video you want to edit. The only place I can watch it is in Photo Booth where it was originally recorded and on iPhoto where I imported it to after filming. Can anyone help as I need to edit these videos, they were all filmed on the same device and it's as if they don't even exist to iMovie.

Hi
Yes this one is not Straight Forward - far away from the Easy way Apple use to be.
I tried: (Export in Photo Booth ==> Movie Date.gif --- STRANGE) and it doesn't convert in any of my tools
iMovie'11 v. 9.0.4 - NO
MPEG-StreamClip - NO
JES-DeInterlacer - NO
VLC - NO
QT - NO
Then I started to look for where it was stored and found it in:
My MacBook Pro / Macintosh HD / Users / My name / Pictures / Photo Booth
and as a Movie Date Clock.mov file and as this
This file I can Import to iMovie'11 v. 9.0.4 - or just drop into my movie project (BUT THEN I MUST NOT DELETE or Move the original as links then will break)
Hopefully You could be able to follow my way of doing it.
WHY EVER this is not just an Import button in iMovie is totally beyond my understanding - It stupid.

I Photo, I Movie, and Photo Booth Icons are visible but when clicked on won't open.

What can I do? I Photo, I Movie, and Photo Booth Icons are visible but when clicked on won't open.

What happens when you try?

As im recording videos on Photo Booth, my movements seem late. then when i play back the video, the sound comes in really late. how do i fix this?

theres like a 5 second delay from when i say something to when the sound of my voice actually comes in when i play back movies in photobooth.i tried restarting my computer and even turning on *auto flip new items. when i turn that on the problem is fixed for only one video. when i try to record the next one its back to the delay. is there anyway to trouble shoot this? or do i have to take my mac to the apple store. to top it all off ive only had my computer for 5 days. help please !!!!

I had the same problem since my moutain lion update, too.
I fixed it in the following way.
-Search for utilities on the HELP option on the top taskbar
- Go to utilities and open your audio-midi-setup.
- check your input and output properties
- Change input and output 44100khz and 16-BIT for both.(these are the most common properties)
my sound and video are not ouf sync in photo booth anymore.
let me know if it works for you!
cheers

Upgrade to 10.8 cannot play movies and no movies in Photo Booth

Hi
I have been upgrading my iMac and now i cannot play .mov and there are no movies in photo booth.
Is there something I need to do to get this back?
Thanks

In the iTunes preferences have you tried the option under the Advanced tab to Change the location of your iTunes Media Folder location?
This might point you in the right direction

So on your external drive is all of your media in a folder called itunes or is it just music, movies etc. just in a bunch of folders that iTunes is not organizing?

Can't record (movie) Photo Booth Background scenarios

Here it goes, I open Photo Booth, select a background effect like paris or the waterfall, Photo Booth tells me to leave the screen area, I leave, come back, everything works fine. It's like I'm in the location I just picked. If I take a picture, it works too. But when I select to record a movie, the light on my Macbook's camera goes off for a second, and when it starts recording, the Paris backrgound disappears! It shows the real background behind me!
This started happening when upgraded to Lion. Actually, I only used it yesterday, and that was after (2 weeks) I updated to Lion 10.7.2, so maybe this update is somehow doing this.
I don't think the problem is my camera, because all the effects work. It just happens the moment it starts recording.

I found a little workaround, I open quicktime and select to record the screen. So I open Photo Booth and select the animated background I want. It works, because my problem is recording. The background effect works. I can take a picture with no problem. Oh, you have to also select (on quicktime) to record audio, it records through the built in mic. The only problem, is that the image seems darker when I select the animated beackground. With regular effects, like "the birds" the image is very bright and colorful.

HT3775 Movie made with Photo Booth cannot be opened

A homemade movie I recorded on Photo Booth has been put into the All Movies file. When I clicked on it to play the message that came up was "The document could not be opened. The movie is not in a format that Quick Time Player understands." Help me?

Ask in the Premiere forum and provide proper system and project info. This sounds like some CoDec issue where some stuff is not properly licensed.

Photo Booth hangs on movie playback in ML (10.8.1)

I have a mid-2009 MBP running ML (10.8.1). Photobooth (v5.0 (307)) starts up okay and can record a video. However, playback of that same video causes Photo booth to consistently hang, requiring a force quit.
I've verified that the internal isight camera works fine in QT (v7) and can record/playback video. The mac is uptodate on all software as well.
I also have an iMac running ML and Photo Booth works fine on it.
Anyone experiencing this behavior (or specifically on a MBP)? Suggestions are much appreciated.
Thank you,
Ken

Importing from photo booth, problems with length and sound

I have a 15 min (277 MB) video clip from photo booth that I would like to post to youtube. I can't get it to work and have been wrestling with a few different programs:
When opening the clip in Quicktime, there is no sound. I can open with VLC media player and the sound is fine.
The clip is too long to import to youtube, so i need to edit it into two sections. However, when try to import the clip into iMovie HD 6, the program crashes (maybe because it is again too long?).
So I purchased Quicktime pro so I could edit the clip. I am able to do this fine, but still have the sound problem. When I saved the edited version, and try to open with VLC, still no sound. Same with iMovie, I can import the smaller clip, but no sound.
I now realize that photobooth is less than ideal for long clips...but we got carried away.
Any input would be appreciated!

I use KDE, but I had sound issues too when I tried Gnome, and just couldn't get it to work right (One of the reasons I use KDE) but if I remember correctly, I needed to install the esd sound daemon and add it to /etc/rc.conf to get sound in gnome.

Anyone know where the Photo booth "effects" movies are hidden?

Curious where the original "effects" clips (the fish, the rollercoaster, etc.) for the Photo booth app are hidden in Leopard...

I could not find a reference to the individual files, but it would seem to be a .qtz file inside the Photo Booth.app. You can right-click or control-click on the Photo Booth.app and choose "Show Package Contents". Inside the Photo Booth.app, there is a /Contents/Resources/ folder. This seems to be where some of the effects live.
