Record with iSight gets me a 00:00 clip

I have connected my iSight with my iMovie and can get it to record, but then after a few seconds when I click "Record with iSight" again to stop recording, the clip shows as 00:00.
I don't know much about iMovie yet, but it seems like if it worked there would be an actual clip length displayed.
Please help if you can! Thanks.

Recording with iSight???

Hello!
I was wondering if it is possible to record off of my television with iSight/iMovie? Simply pointing the iSight at the TV really isn't what I'm looking for. I was hoping that there is a way I could get iSight/iMovie to work as a capture card.
If this is possible, what types of cables would I need?
Thanks,
Hunter

Welcome to Apple Discussions, JHB1422
The only way to use iSight to capture your TV is the way you do NOT want to use.
Neither iSight nor iMovie can function as a capture card. Additional hardware is required.
There are a number of Mac compatible TV capture devices available. The Apple Store sells Elgato EyeTV Hybrid.
Your Apple retailer may be able to suggest other ways depending upon what equipment you already own. Moreover, your dealer can certainly help you determine what cables are needed to connect your system components to any new equipment you select.

No audio when recording with isight

When I try to record anything with imovie 08 and the built-in isight camera, there is no sound. The video works fine, but no sound. The microphone works, I've used it in other programs, but it just won't work in imovie. Any ideas?

Hello lgpuma13
If you have not quit and restarted iMovie, doing so may correct your problem. If not, restart your Mac and test again with no other AV apps running during the test. If neither restart helps, consider the following ideas.
I read your post to mean you have no sound when you playback your movie, not merely when you move the pointer back and forth (or “skim”) over the clips.
If the above is not your problem, check your Audio Adjustments for appropriate volume or other settings that might effect your level.

Recording with iSight - Video Size option missing

Ok, I hope someone can help me. I record video directly into iMovie using the built in isight on my mac. On the import window using the camera I used to have the option on the bottom to select the video size (640x480 or 1024x576). For some reason this is missing (the bottom frame is blank except for the camera selection options).
I can't figure out how to get the higher resolution option back. Where did it go? Help!
Thanks.

I now use iMovie9 and Lion 10.7.2. The choice bar is gone for me, too!
To validate your experience, I started a new wide-screen project and imported from inbuilt iSight. After dragging the new capture event into the new project, I clicked the "crop" button and found that all the resolution is still there! I can crop or re-frame by dragging the crop bars or area. However, I cannot select the entire frame for inclusion in my project.
Based on this, it seems to me that full frame iSight recording has been sacrificed, probably so stabilization can use the edges.
Unless someone else knows a way, it seems to me that if we want the old choices bar back, we will need to retreat to an older version.

IMovie not recording sound with iSight image

In system preferences > sound, I have Built-in microphone selected. But Audacity won't record sound (never works anyway) and iMovie will record image from the iSight, but no sound.
What am I missing?

You're welcome. After further investigation, not only does the volume in the system preferences affect the mic, the actual "voice over" (microphone icon) does as well, even though I'm recording with iSight and not, specifically, a voice over.
However, fantastic YouTube video diaries or whatever they're called must be done on a PC or a Mac that knows how to shut up. If there's one thing right now that's about to make this computer fly through the air, it's the fans that rev up to 6000 and even an external mic picks up the noise. Not much I can do about it. Maybe Snow Leopard and iLife '09 solved the issue.

Recording in QT with iSight - recording time & higher quality video

Hi
I would like to make long recordings with iSight & QT. I want to just click the record button and forget about it for several hours. I know I have ample disk space. I'm wondering if there is any automatic shut-off feature that I have to be aware of. Is the iSight/QT set to stop recording after a certain amount of time?
Also, while I like the quality of the "Better" setting (H.264, 240x180), I'm wondering how to get even better quality within QT. "Good" and "Better" seem to be the only two settings.
Many thanks
steve

iSight automatically shuts off (actually goes to low-power mode; see How to turn iSight (really) off) only if it is not in use.
Video files require large amounts of disk space. If you are using external Firewire drives for "several hours" of disk space, be aware of Possible hardware or software conflicts. iSight can be picky about how and with what it shares the Firewire connections on your Mac.
You are correct that there is no "More Than Better" setting in QuickTime Pro. For more info on QT settings and whether QT Pro can automatically shut off, try QT Discussions if you do not get authoritative answers here.

Anyone get 30fps with iSight?

A new iMac G5 2.1 MHz iSIght built-in, OSX 10.4.5, 512 MB RAM.
Only getting 640x480 at 15 fps when recording to "new Movie Recording" with QuickTime 7.0.3.
No other devices connected to the USB ports except the keyboard.
Anyone here getting 30 fps and 640x480?
Is there a trick I'm missing? Apple claims 30 fps for this iSIght.

The solution...use plenty of light!

Recording in 16:9 with iSight

Hey, I'm curious, I swear that I used to be able to record video's with my iSight in 16:9 in iMovie '08. I've got everything checked off to be in 16:9, and I even found a movie that I exported that is in widescreen, but now everything I do ends up being in 4:3. Any suggestions on how I might be able to fix this and get back to recording in widescreen with my built in iSight?

Welcome to Apple Discussions, Daniel Dop
Your iSight only captures video in its native format. Use the iMovie > File > New Project... menu command and then set the Aspect Ratio at 16:9 before you record your iSight video clip. iMovie will automatically crop it to the selected 16:9 format when it processes your capture.

ISIGHT RECORDING: HOW TO GET RID OF AN ANNOYING TREBLE BUZZING SOUND ???

I AM USING 'Griffen iMic' DEVICE TO CONNECT THE MICROPHONE TO THE MAC BUT I HAVE A PROBLEM USING iSIGHT; EVERY TIME I WANNA RECORD SOMETHING, I GET THIS RATHER ANNOYING BUZZING TREBLING SOUND. I'M NOT SURE WHETHER IT'S THE iSIGHT OR THE iMIC OR EVEN THE CABLE ¿
DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT IT IS?

Try any of these suggestions that you have not already done in any order you think appropriate:
(0) Verify that you have followed the directions in your iMic Quick Start Guide:
http://www.griffintechnology.com/manuals/0000/0062/iMicQSGuide1_00.pdf
Be sure to set iMic's Mic/Line Level Switch correctly.
(1) See iMic's Product Support: http://www.griffintechnology.com/support/products/imic and any of the articles there that might help you. Here are a few examples, but check the others to see which apply to your system's issue:
Verify your Mac's settings as explained in this article:
How Do I Use the iMic in GarageBand? (Mac)
Other software may work better with your iMic/mic combination:
What kind of software can I use with it? (Mac)
Adding a preamp, mixer, or impedance matching transformer may give better results:
I've plugged in my $150 mic and it doesn't work. (Mac and PC)
(2) Test with no peripherals other than iMic connected to your MBP to eliminate interference from some other device as the possible source of the noise.
(3) Test with your iMic connected to your MBP's other USB to eliminate a problem with one particular USB connector as the possible source of the noise.
(4) Test a different audio input device on both USB ports of your MBP to eliminate your Mac's USB circuitry as the possible source of the noise.
(5) Try your iMic/mic combination on another Mac to eliminate your particular Mac as the possible source of the noise.
(6) Test your Mic, including its On/Off switch on some other audio system to eliminate the mic, its switch, or its cable as the possible sources of the noise.
(7) Try a different iMic with your MBP and mic to eliminate your particular iMic as the possible source of the noise.

I am recording with Logic Pro X, using my Yamaha XS8 keyboard as a Midi controller. I also have a Thunderbolt Display. Every time I play and release a note on the keyboard, the Thunderbolt Display speaker emits a doink sound. How do I get it to stop?

I am recording with Logic Pro X, using my Yamaha XS8 keyboard as a Midi controller. I also have a Thunderbolt Display. Every time I play and release a note on the keyboard, the Thunderbolt Display speaker emits a doink sound. What is causing it and how do I get it to stop? My sound is running through the Saffire Pro 40 Interface (Focusrite) into external speakers with powered amps.
Also, When I record I am hearing little pops in the system. I have checked all of my meters and they are not clipping. What is causing it and how do I get it to stop?

Thanks for the response, but I do not have a midi interface. I am using a midi to usb connector cable, thus bypassing the need for a Midi interface.
The Mac reads the USB cable as a midi device, but not the keyboard that I am trying to use as a controller. I have tried it with my korg sp 300 and with my Nord Electro 2.
Thoughts?
Thanks,
Tristan
Tristan...
This is what you have, correct?
http://www.alesis.com/usbmidicable
This from Alesis..
"The AudioLink Series USB cable receives and outputs MIDI signal thanks to its internal interface. The USB-MIDI Cable connects plug-and-play to your Mac or PC for an all-in-one USB-MIDI solution."
Notice, -internal interface-. What you have is a simple USB MIDI Interface. Most MIDI interfaces are USB.
My point is (was), MIDI OUT of the Korg goes to the connector marked MIDI IN on the Alesis, those new to MIDI often get this wrong.

Can't get sound to play back on Movie Maker when recording with internal webcam/microphone

I have a Windows 8, 64-bit Envy notebook. I tried using Google Hangouts but there wasn't any sound (the camera was fine).
Later, I decided to test the internal microphone myself by creating a Movie Maker file, and clicking on Webcam and making a recording. The camera worked but it played back in total silence.
I checked the settings for the microphone and the internal mic was properly set as the default. I turned up the volume to the maximum. Then I found directions for doing a sound check, and I was able to do the Sound Recording check and get audio when I played the file back.
But when I tried again to make a video, i got zero in the playback.
Any idea what's going wrong?
Thanks,
Pat

WebService get list 750 records with 8 columns in mx:DataGrid atleast 2 minutes

I am using WebService (ASP.NET) to get a list of customers (around 750) records with 8 columns using mx:DataGrid. It takes to list data in the mx grid atleast 2 minutes from offline development data server[SQL SERVER 2005]. It could be better if the list populate the datagrid with-in 1 minute. I didn't find how to resolve the problem. My WebService returns the ArrayCollection within 1 minute.
Any hints would appreciate!
T. Ghosh

It doesn’t matter how many records, what matters is how many attributes and sub-objects. One customer returned 100 records, each with a transaction history of some 10,000 transactions, although the transactions were not displayed in the datagrid (it would be later in the detail view). Then the app was configured to convert the records to typed objects. As one would expect, it took forever. You might have to create a custom converter or just use the SOAP/XML.
