Replacement for iSight camera for Powerbook G4

I never bought the iSight and now it is gone off the market. Can you use a video camcorder as a web cam with the Powerbook for iChat usage? ..or another brand of web cam with iChat? Your comments are appreciated!

Yes you can!

  • Does anyone know how to put 6 windows in premiere pro cc  for multi cameras,  for 6 cameras actually

    Does anyone know how to put 6 wndows in premiere pro cc for multi cameras, for 6 cameras actually.

    The workflow that Jim spelled out is for doing what's called a "multi-cam edit." This allows you to conveniently switch among different video clips, often from multiple cameras that shot the same performance or event. The end result is a segment where only one clip is visible at a time.
    The way I read your question, what you want to do is show six clips all at once, which is typically referred to "picture in picture." To do that, follow the first 3 steps Jim provided. (By the way, in Step 2, the key is to stack the clips on six different tracks, as opposed to lining them up head-to-tail.) Then select each clip in turn and use the Position and Scale controls in the Effect Controls Panel to shrink it and move it where you want within the frame. Here's a tutorial video on this workflow: http://tv.adobe.com/watch/adobe-beginner-classes-with-dennis-radeke/episode-7-adobe-premie re-pro-picture-in-picture/.

  • Light for iSight camera?

    I keep having a problem where if I am working on the couch or on the road, the lighting is too dim for anyone to see me on iChat. I remember there being a light for the old iSight camera, does anyone know if there is something similar for the built-in iSight camera? It would help out a lot.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello BayArea MacFan
    With the suggestions above, you have several good options.
    I don't know of anything like the old Griffin SightLight for use with built-in iSight.
    I have a SightLight, but use it only on the road. For daily use at home, I light my face with a small clamp-on lamp like this one. I tried several different bulbs and settled on a small (9 watt) "warm" toned fluorescent bulb that gave the best color balance without being too bright or too hot.

    Not sure I understand your question because Photo Booth is "fun" software for iSight.
    However, you can use any OS X image editor application to modify images
    (cud put hats on make cool faces and stuff) you have captured
    with your iSight. The editor app I use is Adobe PhotoShop Elements.

    Be sure to check system requirements for compatibility with your system.

    If this is the TimeFox you are posting about, I don't understand why you think there might be any connection to an iSight camera.  Please explain further.

  • Is it possible to have other recording qualities for iSight camera?

    I have just lashed out on +QuickTime Pro+, and the very first time I fired it up I thought: "Oh, Oh, I've wasted my money". Every other program I tried before I decided on QT Pro had the ability to use a variety of recording-quality settings for the iSight camera. With QT Pro I get just three:
    * MPEG-4 (320 x 240, ~ 264 kb/s)
    * H-264 (320 x 240, ~256 kb/s)
    * Native (640 x 480, 90 Mbits/s)
    Not much of a variety. You either choose the low settings, or jump to the high setting at almost 400 times the data rate.
    Is it possible to obtain a few more settings ( i.e. 640 x 480 using H.264) via third-party software or other technique?
    Also, can I turn off sound recording if I so wish?

    Thanks, RickToronto, for the suggestion about +QT Broadcaster+. A nifty little program and I'm sure I'm going to be able to put it to use sometime, but after testing the various compression options at 640 x 480, including NONE, I could not get the frame rate greater than about 10, whereas using the NONE option in +QT Pro+ allowed me to get 640 x 480 at 18 fps. There must be a fair amount of overhead in using +QT broadcaster+.
    Looks like I'll be sticking to +QT Pro+, recording using the NATIVE option, then compressing afterwards. Doing that certainly shows up the amount of computation needed for compression. It took my G5 about 6 hours to compress one hour of 640 x 480 @ 18fps (~40 GB). And in addition, I got the impression that the output looks better from +QT Pro+ than from +QT Broadcaster+, but that might just be my imagination.
    One last matter: one of the options in +QT Broadcaster+ -- the control options for iSight -- look almost identical to those I saw in a program called +BTV Pro+. Would the +BTV Pro+ fellow have 'borrowed' the look from Apple, or has Apple licensed them from him?

  • Other uses for iSight camera??

    I was just wondering:
    Many DVD recorders have a firewire input for copying DV tapes - can the iSight camera be connected to make live recordings?
    Some DV camcorders have DV input (for recording from other sources and copying iMovie projects back to tape) - can the iSight camera be connected to the DV input for aux camera?

    Hi spacepiggy,
    You takes your choice

  • Isight cam for MSN and AIM users (on Windows)

    I'm having trouble set my isight for Windows users. My friend was using Trillion. Will that work or should she be using AIM proper.
    I also downloaded MSN messenger for Mac, and I'd like to use the isight cam to talk to people on that. How do I go about setting that up? I hear it's kinda hairy.
    Chris

    Hi Christow!
    You mention that you are having problems connecting to your windows friends. I assume you are able to connect with mac users with no problem. Here's is a nice overview to have your windows friends review so you can connect with them: http://www.mvldesign.com/videoconferencetutorial.html
    As far as MSN for the mac, it doesn't support video at this time, you may want to consider using aMSN which can be found at: http://amsn.sourceforge.net/

  • Add on iSight camera for pre-iSight iMac.

    I have added an iSight camera to my iMac. I was a little uneasy about attaching a magnet to the top of it. It appears that when it boots up the area below the magnet (top center of display) is noticeably darker than the rest of the screen. Can this magnet actually harm the LCD? Thanks.

    I have an iMac G5, 1.8 GHz, with a magnet iSight thing sat on top in the middle. Haven't noticed any darkening, and I'm pretty sure there's no reason to be worried.
    One thing I'll check for interest is whether there is also a magnet on the inside. If a non-magnetic piece of iron sticks to that part of the monitor it would suggest that there are two magnets involved, and so there's always a magnet by the LCD. That ought to prove that the darkening isn't due to the external magnet. I'll check when I get home.

  • MBPr requires SMC restart for iSight camera

    New MBP with Retina seems to be having a problem with iSight camera since installing Mountain Lion. It seems that every second day or so the camera stops being recognized and I have to do an SMC reset to restore normal operation. I have checked the USB settings under "About this MAC" and the camera still shows up as being connected even when applications like FaceTime and Skype stop detecting it.
    Any help would be very much appreciated, Thanks!

    i have the exact same issue. i didnt notice it before mountain lion though

  • Schematic for isight camera

    Hi there,
    I have a 20" iMac with an insight camera...I had it repaired recently re upgraded to a Terabite HDD and the wires for the insight camera was accidentally ripped off of the board. I am not sure what wire goes where so i am looking for a SCHEMATIC wiring diagram which shows me which wire goes where...
    Thanks again

    I agree with Rudegar that Apple does not offer schematics to the public.
    It sounds like you have already tried restarting the Mac and using Apple's suggestions here without results:
       http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090
    Whoever did the disk drive upgrade should have reconnected the camera.  If he cannot or will not do so now, contact your Apple-Authorized Service Provider.  An AASP will have the needed test equipment, special tools and technical data to properly diagnose and correct your problem.

  • Looking For A Camera For Our Church

    I need to buy a camcorder for our church.  It will be used to show live video during services and to record special events such as weddings.  The main features I am looking for are:
    (1) Flash memory
    (2) Ability to handle low light conditions
    (3) Audio input connection
    That last item seems to be the challenge.  I want to be able to input audio from our mixer, but it seems that you have to go to to the high-end (> $3,000) cameras to get a line-level audio input connection.  We would like to stay under $1,000.  Does anyone know of a camera that would meet my needs and still be affordable?
    Alternatively, could we use the external mic input and adjust the mixer output level down to a level equivalent to a condenser mic?
    Your help would be appreciated!
    THANKS

    I think you already solved your problem in your description - use a lower end unit with a mic input and find an adapter from line-level to mic input levels.
    I believe active XLR-to-3.5mm stereo adapters exist and are $100-200.  I see passive ones (not sure how well they will actually work) for $10-20.
    For the camcorder itself, Canon's HF series are a good bet.  I have an HF100 and it's great.  Current offering that is likely your best bet is the HF200.  The HF S200 will be replacing it soon, however at a few hundred dollars extra.
