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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Cannot record stereo track along with built-in camera

    I'm hoping since imovie 6 is considered superior, by some, to more recent versions that knowledgeable users are still following this forum. I've got a pair of stereo mics going through a lexicon usb interface -- chosen as the input in audiomidi setup -- but imovie will only record them in mono. The same mics record fine in stereo for audio applications such as garageband. The best I can deduce is that when using my macbook's built-in camera -- that is, clicking 'record with isight' -- imovie will receive the audio from the interface, but only in mono -- as would be the case were I using the built-in mic as well. What has your experience been?

    When you open iMovie look at the switch under the screen. You will see a camera on the left of the switch and scissors on left. Flip the switch to the camera and the built in camera should come on. Then on the screen it will say record with isight. That starts the record.

  • Recording video in 640X480 with H.264 compression?

    I need to make extended (>1hr) recordings in 640X480 with my MacBook's built-in iSight.
    QuickTime Pro only seems to be able to record video at 320X240 with compression or 640X480 without compression (which takes around 1GB per minute!!).
    Is there a way to get it to record at 640X480 with H.264 compression?
    If not, is there some other app that can acheive this feat in real time?
    (I've tried iVeZeen but it just stores the uncompressed video and later compresses it, which means that I run out of disk space just as quickly as with the uncompressed QT option)
    Any ideas would be much appreciated.

    Use Broadcaster:

    It's free from Apple...you can save the file to the HD instead of broadcasting the video.

    I have a new iPhone 5S.  While trying to learn about it, I accidentally recorded a voice memo with no content.  I cannot now figure out how to get rid of it.  There is a banner across the top of my phone with this memo which I don't want.  I have deleted it from iTunes but cannot get it off the phone.  Help!

    The banner usually indicates that the memo is "Paused." If you go back into voice memos, touch the word "Done" beside the big red pause button, give it a name, then it will show in a list. Touch the memo in the list then touch the trash can icon that should appear.

    Hi,
    Through BDC or LSMW first you have to do the recording for particular transaction code and then base on that u have to prepare the flat file to upload the file for the same.
    For BDC programing you have to take the help of ABAP progmer but LSMW you can also do.
    For more information about LSMW plz go to following link :
    [LSMW |http://www.slideshare.net/arun_bala1/sap-sd-lsmw-legacy-system-migration-workbench/]

    But it would be better for you to please contact to your ABAPer for BDC programming.
    Cheers...

  • How to Highlight the CURRENT RECORD in a Table with Report Form

    Hi,
    I have created a Table with Report Form....let suppose the table is - EMP
    Report page - 1
    Form page - 2
    Now, when I do Create / Update on Page 2,....the control is back on Page1.
    Suppose in the Report Page (Page1)..we have 10 records....NOW how should I highlight the CURRENT RECORD in Page 1 with some color to identify the record which I have updated/created just now...
    Thanks,
    Deepak

    Hi Deepak,
    You could do that with a custom report template. I've done that here: [http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=267:175]
    Go to Shared Components, Templates and create a new Report template as a copy of your existing one. Then edit your template. In the above example, the Column Template 1 setting was:
    <td #ALIGNMENT# headers="#COLUMN_HEADER#" class="t18data">#COLUMN_VALUE#</td>I copied this into the Column Template 2 setting and updated the Column Template 1 setting to:
    <td #ALIGNMENT# headers="#COLUMN_HEADER#" class="t18data" style="background-color:red; color:yellow;">#COLUMN_VALUE#</td>I then set the Column Template 1 Condition to: Use Based on PL/SQL Expression
    and the Column Template 1 Expression to: '#EMPNO#' = '&P178_EMPNO.'
    (In my example, P178_EMPNO is the single item on the linked to page.
    Save those changes and go to your report and change its template to the new one. As long as a selection has been made and P178_EMPNO has a value, the condition will make sure that the report uses the first template for the row with the matching EMPNO value. All other rows get the template from Column Template 2.

  • IMac 17" with isight RAM question

    I want to expant RAM on my old iMac - iMac 17" with iSight, 1.9 GHz, introduced october 2005
    Is this RAM module going to be compatible?
    DDR2
    *2 GB*
    *533 MHz*
    PC4300
    1,8V
    *240 pins*
    *Cas Latency: 4*
    My concern is if the certificate (PC4300) is going to be compatible. Apple website says that there should be certificate PC2 4200.
    Thank you for your answer. Greeting from Czech Republic.

    Welcome to Discussions - the specs for your memory are
    iSight:
    1. PC2-4200
    2. unbuffered
    3. nonparity
    4. 240-pin
    5. 533 MHz
    but I think the 4300 would work, just make sure that you can return it if it doesn't and that you get a lifetime guarantee.
