Using MacBook as live, fullscreen camera - Urgent (as ever)!

We're doing a production on Internet safety for children, and we need an actor to be shown on large monitors, speaking and interacting with the cast in real time. Is there any way of using the iSight camera for this? iChat needs an account (and shows the OTHER person!) iMovie shows all the clips areas while the camera is on. We need, basically to have just the actor's face showing, so the MacBook is working as a camera. Oh - photobooth also doesn't show full screen till after the camera is off.
Any ideas from you illustrious folk?
Thanks, in panicked advance.

OK folks,
I have found this:

  • Live! Cam Voice Shuts Down When Using Motion Detection Feature

    I'm running XP Media Center 2002.
    I just installed Live! Cam Voice. Started using it and is was fine out of the box. I updated the drivers and i also decided to update the drivers for my SoundBlaster Audigy 2 ZS.
    The problem only seemed to occur when using the Motion Detection. Shortly after using it, I'd get a Microsoft error prompting the WebCam Center to shut down.
    First I uninstalled the software and reinstalled it using the original drivers on the supplied disk. I still had the problem. So i rolled back the drivers on my sound card. That seems to have fixed the problem... Thought you'd want to know.
    To be clear the Cam driver I'm using is .0.8.206. I believe this is the one that came w/ the install disk. Hope this helps anyone else who's experienced similar problems.....

    I have the same problem. I only get 6-7 fps max. I've never seen anything above 0 fps which is a disgrace. My computer is and Athlon64 X2 4800 with 2GB RAM so it's nothing to do with spec. This behaviour was the same in driver version .0.8 as well as the latest one... .0.02 or something.
    Also, since the last driver update, the whitebalance and focus when on automatic is dreadful. I'm not impressed.

  • Which 7200rpm internal HD for macbook pro - Live pa use!

    Hi all
    I'm upgrading the internal HD of my new macbook pro which we will be using for our live pa's and can do with a little help in chosing the right one.
    First thought was the Seagate momentus 2.5" 7200rpm asg (500Gb) but heard some horror stories and the last one in the old macbook did come up with the dreaded 'disk to slow' message on the last part of a gig last year.
    Anyone out there who can give some advice?

    I guess the problem for me with SSD is firstly the price as I would need at least a 256Gb version. Besides that it is so new that I feel it is too early to take the plunge. Especially as reliability is my main concern at the moment. Nothing worse then being on stage and the music stops mid set LOL.
    I have Seagates in my Mac Pro and they are great to be fair. But as I had this error with my last macbook I was hoping to find out if there is a better alternative. If not I will go with the Seagate as I have always used them.
    I guess I might be overly worried at the moment?

  • 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.

  • Used MacBook Air came with admin password that I cannot change.

    I bought a used MacBook Air that came with an administrator password, and someone's name in the upper right corner, and I cannot change it. He didn't have the password either.

    Here's how to reset the password.  Once in, I would reload Lion and start fresh.

  • I bought a used macbook pro that came with xcode

    I bought a used macbook pro that came with xcode, this means I can develop Apps but to publish in App Store needed pay developer fees? Or must pay these fees from now?

    All you have are the basic tools. Without a paid program in your name, you cannot distribute apps to the store.

  • Using macbook pro + logic for live - what to consider

    so i just received the macbook pro which I will use live with logic for playing back bounced audio tracks, audio instruments and live inputs + effects.
    I want to avoid (if possible) an additional external drive in order to keep the setup simple.
    I`m thinking of partitioning the internal drive into two parts and use one partition for the audio material.
    Or is it maybe better to keep the whole drive as one partition (80GB)?
    Any further suggestions? e.g. Which os do you think is more stable 4.6. or 4.7?

    Hi. I use my MBP live for Ivory Grand piano sounds and occasional backing tracks with live piano. I suggest you set it all up and suck and see. You will quickly get an idea of what will and won't work. Set up a scenario where it is doing a fair bit more work than you anticipate it doing live, and then you will be confident of it doing what you want it to do.
    Partioning a hard drive just means that the same single hard drive is trying to split it's attention to two places at once, and so will probably give worse performance. It is no real big deal to carry a small firewire drive these days. By the time you have plugged in MIDI interfaces and cable, an extra firewire cable will not make much difference. Samples stream much faster from an external drive. Audio should play back just fine from the internal hard drive.
    I am using 10.4.7 and I don't seem to be having any problems so far, touch wood.

  • Live! Cam Voice won't run on Windows Vista 64-bit OS

    I recently upgraded my OS to Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit system. I downloaded the beta softwares (webcam driver & cam center) for my Creative Live! Cam Voice & everything looks fine until I run the Creative Live! Cam Center. Right after running the Cam Center & clicking Start it says initializing then my PC screen turns blue with several error message in it. My webcam also doesn't seems to work.

    I am having a problem downloading to a new Windows Vista 64 machine. When I download using either IE or Firefox, the download gets to 14.7 MB and stops. Any ideas on why the download will not work?

  • Live! Cam Voice problems

    Hi I'm using Windows Vista and I got a few problems about the Live! Cam Voice camera.
    First I installed it, with the cable in the computer, then I read the cable shouldn't be in the computer so I uninstalled what was possible uninstalling and deleted the "Creative" directory which contained some files still. But now when I'm trying to install it I'm getting either some kind of "Setup.cpp" error, or I'm getting a "Setup.exe has stopped working". I've tried uninstalling it again but I'm still getting errors. How am I supposed to uninstall all of the installation so I can reinstall?
    Also I don't get the manual of installing the Vista driver. It says something like "1. Install the package 2. Go to control>sound and change some options there". I didn't know where I should install it, so I installed it in default path and tried to open the .exe files and none of them were working. Are they supposed to be working?

    Ok, I waited one day and now the setup is working, so now I inserted the cam when it told me to. But I still need to install the vista drivers, else it's telling me "No supported Live! Cam detected. Please plug in to continue...". How do I run the exe files and where should I extract the exe files? Or do I need to run them at all? Help please:S I'm using Vista 32 bit

  • Live! Cam Voice - Microphone compatibility w/ Windows Vista Ultimate

    I recently got the Live! Cam Voice for my computer with Windows Vista Ultimate. And for some reason the built in microphone won't work at all - even the voice recorder, the Yahoo! Messenger in which it was built for and Windows Live Messenger. However the actual webcam works fine. Is there anyway to get the microphone to be compatible with Ultimate?
