  • Record video with built in iSight?

    My friend just got a new MacBook and we can't figure out if you can record video with the built in iSight. I know you can take pictures with Photo Booth, and from my research you can record video with the external iSight through iMovie. I figured you woud be able to do the same with the built in iSight, but when I open iMovie, it does not detect a camera. Can you not record video with the built in iSight or am I doing something wrong?
    MacBook   Mac OS X (10.4)  

    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.

  • Video from built-in ISight camera to FC???

    Greetings.
    Has anyone ever recorded a video from a 24" LED Apple display using the built-in ISight video camera and then import that into FC?
    What I did seems to work, but the sequence has to be rendered.
    Here's what I did. Record video from Isight. The QT properties of this video are h.264, 640x480 14.15 FPS (Never saw this before).
    Converted that file in compressor to Pro Res 422. The next steps are the ones I'm unsure of, which is the sequence settings. In sequence settings I set the frame size to 640x480, Pixel Aspect to NTSC, field Dom to upper.
    The weird part is the frame rate of the original, 14.15.
    Either way, what would be the best way to import/convert isight video to something usable in a preferably Pro Res timeline.
    Thanks.

    Hi Tom,
    Thanks for that. I think I must have done HD because the original video file was 4.5MB. After converting to Pro Res 422, that file was over 200MB!
    I didn't know there were SD (DV?) Pro Res presets.
    So after I do this, will this just drop nicely into an HDV timeline and I won't get a red render bar? I realize the frame size is different.
    Thanks.

    My opinion of "best" for novice is QuickTime Pro: http://www.apple.com/quicktime/pro/
    Some other possibilities follow:
     • iMovie (iM v6 or later for built-in iSight): http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3095
       ( Tiger 10.4.4 or later recommended: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2675 )
     • iCamShare: http://www.arborbits.com/icamshare/
     • Webcam Tweaker: http://www.tweakersoft.com/webcamtweaker.html
     • Some other apps that can capture movie or video clips listed on this page can work with Tiger:

  • Program for/how can I Record video from MacBook Pro Retina camera on External HD?

    Ive been trying to do this for a long time, and have looked throughout this forum but cant find an answer.  All I want to do is be able to record video from the built in camera to my external harddrive.  Photobooth lets you record it but not to an external HD, and I cant find a way to do it with the new iMovie either.  There has to be a way or a progarm that lets you do something this simple, but I cant find it.  Any help is greatly appreciated.

  • Recording video from Computer

    This might not be the correct forum but maybe someone out there knows how i can record video from my computer. I need good quality videos like you would see on www.lynda.com. Would anyone know how this can be done?

    I will suggest you contact the moderator at the F4M forum HERE. I think he's quite pro in this field of wmv encoding. Also, the article HERE, from Ken Stone, might be helpful.
    There's another guy, Ben Wagoneer, who knows this stuff really well....I think you can find him at creative cow.
    Let us know what you find out.

  • Cannot found url error when i try to play my camera recorded video from my iphone 4S running ios 5.01

    I got an error cannot Find url when i attempt to play my camera recorded video from my iphone 4S 32 gig. I try to restart my phone but still no luck. There was no problem previously, but suddenly i got this problem with no reason. I also unable to copy the video to my computer using itunes. So please helppp...
    Thanks a ton!!
    Note: My iphone 4S is running ios 5.01.

    See if it helps to delete the firmware file and download a new one:
    Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw)
    iTunes uses "ipsw" files to restore your iPod or iPhone. If those files are unusable, then try deleting them, renaming them, or moving the file to a different directory. This will cause iTunes to download a new copy of the IPSW. When a restore issue is specific to a user, it is likely due to an unusable .ipsw file. If removing the .ipsw file does not resolve a user-specific restore issue, then the issue is caused by other user-specific security software settings or iTunes preferences. Creating a new user will also cause new .ipsw restore files to be downloaded in the new user. You can find the ".ipsw" files in these locations:
    Mac OS X
    iPhone
    ~/Library/iTunes/iPhone Software Updates
    iPad
    ~/Library/iTunes/iPad Software Updates
    iPod touch
    ~/Library/iTunes/iPod Software Updates
    Note: The tilde "~" represents your Home directory.

  • 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.

  • Software for recording video with built in i-sight for new macbooks mbp?

    Does any software exist that will allow a macbook or a macbook pro user to record video with their built in isight camera at the top of the screen? If so, let me know. I need to document countless hours of reading the forums...

    iMovie will allow you to record from your built in iSight as well.
    Lastly, Conference Recorder will allow you to record iChat video conversations. It can be found here: http://www.ecamm.com/mac/conferencerecorder/

  • Freeze after import from built-in iSight

    I go to File > Import from Camera..., record my lovely visage, and then I click Done. iMovie imports the new video just fine, I see it pop up in the little clips tray, but then I'm faced with a problem.
    The capture window is still open and if I click the "Done" button or close the capture window, iMovie just freezes and I have to force quit.
    When I re-open iMove, everything is fine, my project and the new clip still exist, but I've just wasted a lot of time.
    It happens every time and it's really frustrating. What's going on?
    Console offers little of interest...

    There are a few other threads out there based on iMovie freezing after importing, but most are people importing from other devices, not the built-in iSight camera. None has any good advice about how to correct it, that I can see.
    I suppose the good news is it's not a problem endemic to the iSight camera capture option itself. I'm willing to bet it has something to do with disk fragmentation or dropped frames during capture -any of which a standard NLE would tell you about instead of crashing.
    I guess the usual salvo of countermeasures are called for: verify the target volume using disk utility, defragment the drive, try building a new user account on your Mac and try the capture again (just to rule out any unruly preferences in your current config). Worst case, reinstall iMovie and see if it keeps happening. Now, having said all that, I haven't actually taken the time to try it myself. So, grain of salt, and all that.

  • Record Video from Webcam to Local Directory

    I found an example using Flex and AIR to record a video file to a local directory (http://www.zeropointnine.com/blog/webcam-digital-video-recorder-for-air-updated/), but this was essentially a hack that took a snapshot from a webcam at a set interval, eventually cramming the shots together to produce a RAW video file.  While this app produces a decent video file, an audio stream is not captured and the final video file is silent.  The app is also over 2 year old.
    I recently learned that AIR now contains functionality that will allow you to record an audio stream to an MP3 file in a local directory.  Has anyone taken these two ideas and combined them to produce an AIR app that will create a file with both audio and video?
    Thanks.

    Yes! You can do it.
    iMovie 06 http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/imovieHD6.html has a time-lapse feature. (Why doesn't iMovie 08 have this simple feature? I don't know)
    Download iMoive 06 plug in your camera or iSight or use the built-in iSight, select the camera icon, choose time-lapse. Then choose "Capture 2 frames for every 15 frames of video."
    That should net you about 2 frames per second of time-lapse video. Make sure you have enough light out there...
    Have fun.
