  • Using the built-in iSight for flash video applications

    The main question I have is how do I get my camera to turn on with my browser to use a Flash movie application? I know you can use it for the like: iChat, Photo Booth, iMovie. But I have no idea how to get it to work with the internet. Any suggestion would help me in any direction.
    Thank you

    I like the idea to put a camera in the computer.
    I have not seriously used a macintosh since 1992, when I was in 2nd grade. Ever since I tinkered on my dad's mac now and then when he was not looking. But, I need to know where in the settings do I go to enable the built-in iSight camera to work on the web or any flash application

  • 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.

  • How can I use the built-in Isight camera with an external camera (usb/firewire) at the same time?

    How can I use the built-in Isight camera and an external video camera at the same time?
    I'm wanting to stream over Oovoo/Skype/etc. using 2 cameras.
    Thanks

    Simple question with a not so simple answer.
    (a) If you mean that you want to run multiple apps simultaneously using a different camera with each app, you may encounter computing power limitations.  Digital video is processor intensive.  The only way to know if your Mac can do this it to try it.  If the video does not work together but each app works when it it the only app running, you are likely overloading your Mac's ability to process and/or move all the required data in your data bus.  You can get a better indication of whether this is the case by watching your Activity Monitor utility while running the apps you want to use.
    (b) If you mean that you want to have more than one compatible camera connected to your Mac simultaneously for ease of changing between video sources, some, but not necessarily all, apps you are using to operate your camera(s) allow you to select between your cameras.
    How you select among connected cameras depends on which application you are using. Here is how camera selection works in a few examples:
    (1) For iChat, you can choose which iSight you use in the "Camera:" choices bar in iChat > Preferences... > Audio/Video that appears when more than one compatible camera is connected. Although your camera choices will be different, the choices bar will look something similar to the Preferences settings shown here:
    If you cannot see the "Camera" choices bar, your Mac is recognizing only one (or none) of your cameras. In that case, consider the suggestions fromhttp://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090 for iSight problems or refer to your other camera's documentation for help.
    This particular choices bar solution applies ONLY to iChat. Most other applications also have settings that allow you to choose which camera to use. However, they do not all work the same way.
    (2) For instance, iMovie HD's camera choice is NOT set via Preferences. When you have more than one compatible camera connected, iMovie6 HD uses a drop-down menu choice something like this (depending on which version of iMovie you use):
    Note: Because I had no built-in iSight connected when I made this example, and because my external iSight was not connected, the drop-down menu showed only "Time Lapse." Because your Mac has a built-in iSight, your built-in iSight would show in the drop-down menu even when no other camera is connected. Connecting an additional Mac compatible webcam should allow you to choose either camera.
    Other iMovie versions work slightly differently.
    iMovie 9 (from iLife '11) uses a different camera choice button shown in this article:
      http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iMovie/9.0/en/mov39f84285.html
    iMovie 8 (from iLife '09) is slightly different as explained in this article:
      http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iMovie/8.0/en/10172.html
    In general, you can use your Mac's help for the application in use to find out how to select among more than one connected camera.
    (3) Photo Booth in Snow Leopard 10.6.x and later uses the Photo Booth > Camera menu command to select which camera to use.
    Note for readers with older Mac OS X: The previous version of Photo Booth that came with Tiger (10.4.x) is such a simple, basic app that it offers no menu selectable choice. Unless your built-in iSight is already occupied as the camera being used by some open application before you launch Photo Booth, Photo Booth will use ONLY your built-in iSight.
    However, you can use the trick from ¶ 4 of http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302781 to let Photo Booth use an external camera.
    (If you have an external Firewire camera connected, it may be used in preference to any USB webcam. If that is a problem for you, merely disconnect the problem Firewire device.)
    (4) For FaceTime, launch the app and click the Video menu item.
    If your Mac recognizes more than one connected compatible camera, a "Camera" section listing the cameras from which you can choose will appear there. Clicking on the desired camera name will let you select the one you want as shown in this image from my Mac Pro and LED Cinema Display:
    If your Mac recognizes only one compatible camera, the "Camera" section will not appear in the Video menu, but FaceTime will automatically use the connected camera that is recognized by OS X.
    (5) I do not use Skype oir Oovoo.  For those or other apps, see Help for each app for info on how to select your desired camera.

  • How do I get iMovie to recognise & allow me to use the built in iSight camera?

    How do I get iMovie to recognise & allow me to use the built in iSight camera?

    You do not mention what version of iMovie you are using, so I will assume it is the same as mine, iMovie '11, version 9.0.8
    When you launch iMovie you should see, just above the Event Library, a camera icon. Click that.
    Once you click it you will see a new window labeled "Import From: Built-in iSight." In the bottom right corner there will be a button labeled "Capture." Use that when you are ready to capture your video.
    Best of luck.

  • Can I use apogee one with iMovie when recording videos?

    I'm currently making some videos of myself playing guitar peices and want to use my apogee one as the microphone, rather than the built in input. I seem to be able to use it as the main mike for everything but recording video!
    Thanks

    I am not familiar with the Apogee One, but if it connects via USB, it will probably work with iMovie. If it connects via the audio jack input, your best bet is to use GarageBand to record it, and then sync the sound to your movie later.

  • Hello I'm Christina, I'm using the Canon Rebel T1i to record videos. It only records 40 seconds

    I'm using it to record YouTube videos but it only records the first 40-46 seconds then it shuts off. It's on the mode to record up to 24 minutes but it shuts off by itself. How can I fix this?

    Usually when this happens it's the memory card.
    As the camera is recording frames of video, it goes to the internal memory buffer of the camera. The camera, in turn, writes the data to the memory card. The memory card's ability to "write" data is usually the slowest link in the chain. If the card cannot write data as fast as the camera can capture frames, then the internal memory on the camera will fill up and the camera will be forced to stop recording.
    The specs for the T1i require a minimum "Class 6" memory card (the logo look like a C with a number 6 inside) to record video, but frankly a Class 10 card would be better.
    I've come to learn that not all memory cards perform nearly as well as their manufacturer's claim. SanDisk and Lexar brands have a fairly solid reputation. Even among SanDisk and Lexar, they make different grades of cards.
    Lastly, card do eventually wear out. Think of them like car tires. After one ride you wont notice the wear.... but thousands of miles later it all adds up. The process of "writing" to a card slightly degrades it and after enough writes the card will fail. For a quality card, the number of writes should be very high (in excess of 100,000 writes). So it's possible that a card which was fine once upon a time may start to exhibit problems after a few years.

  • I can't use my built in iSight on Windows anymore.

    I updated to leopard (finally) and now after updating drivers on Windows XP, apparently the iSight driver didn't install correctly, because every time I load up windows it says it is trying to install the driver, but fails. I've tried manually installing the driver from the disk, reinstalling all the drivers, and even using the repair feature, but nothing seems to be fixing it.
    What should I do next.
