Video recording from my built-In iSight is horizontally flipped.

I am trying to record a short clip and via Quictime X using my built-in iSight and am noticing that even whilst it's not recording just before I press the record button, the image is flipped horizontally. If I shift my head to the left, it shows that I'm shifting it to the right. I can't figure out if there's a setting I should check or if this is normal or maybe I found a bug unless there is a poltergeist in the room. hehe...
Thanks in advance for your help.

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.

Using Azul media player app on my ipad Apple tv will only display sound but not video from movies. Any ideas on a fix. I set mirroring to on but it still does not display video. It will display photos and video recorded from my iphone.

Here are the steps for AirPlay:
Before starting Azul from your (running iOS 5.x/6.x) home screen where have have all your apps we need to turn on mirroring
On your iPhone 4S/5 or iPad 2 or 3, double-click the Home Button to view your recently-used apps.
Swipe all the way to the right to until you see the icon.
Note: If the icon does not appear, go to the "If AirPlay Mirroring is not visible or available on your mobile iOS device" section.
Tap the icon to see the list of available AirPlay devices.
Enable AirPlay Mirroring in this menu by tapping on an available Apple TV, then sliding the Mirroring slider to ON.
Now you should be seeing your iPad/iPhone on your TV.
Start up Azul now and using the settings icon on the top right corner go to the option that say "TV out" ON.
When you do that you will see an Orange screen
Now click "Done" and play the video you want to watch and it will AirPlay

Problems importing videos recorded from my iPhone 3GS to iPhoto

I am having problems importing any videos recorded from my iPhone 3GS onto iPhoto. iPhoto keep giving me the following error:
"Error downloading Image. iPhoto cannot import your photos because there was a problem downloading an image."
If anyone else is having the same problem, please advise on how to fix.
Thanks,

I am having the same problem...
and Image Capture ( didn't know we would normally be able to use it, but you can) also give an error
"Import Error"
Now I have used "ITimelapse pro" to transfer some timelapse movies (about 3 that are about 30 to 60 seconds long) that I made to the phone's photo library.. and I has a very long video that I mistakenly made - (15 minutes long or so) and I "trimmed" it to be a few minutes long. -- and used "JotNot" to send a photo to the photo library... otherwise I have only some regular photos (about 40 ) and about 2 regular videos in the library.
so any suggestions... ( I am emailing all that I can to myself ... maybe ridding everything will help)

Presenter video recording from PowerPoint has stopped working

My Adobe Presenter 9.02 Build 173 has suddenly developed a problem where recording video from within PowerPoint has stopped working. I have Office 2013 32-bit and Windows 8.1 64 bit. I believe that Presenter installed itself automatically in the installation process as a 64-bit application.
When I press the 'record now' icon on the Presenter toolbar, PowerPoint opens the current displayed in Slide Show view and I get the following error message:-
"Adobe presenter has encountered unexpected problem while working with this presentation......" etc.
This video recording feature from within PowerPoint has worked just fine on my system with the identical setup as mentioned in my opening paragraph but it's suddenly stopped working for some reason? I checked and do have the latest graphics driver.
The stand - alone video creator tool records video outside of PowerPoint just fine but as stated, I can’t execute recording from the ‘record’ icon on the Presenter menu in PowerPoint.
I tried the following without success:-
I created a new PowerPoint file and tried to repeat the recording process
I ran PowerPoint as Administrator and ran the file ‘Adobe-Pr-VC.exe’ (in C:\Program Files\Adobe) as Administrator
I uninstalled and re-installed Presenter
I turned off my AV software and firewall
I created a new Windows Administrator account and tried video recording within PowerPoint
Anyone have any ideas on what else I could try?
Peter

Solved! In the end, the solution was simple!
I went to the PowerPoint 2013 ribbon and clicked on 'Slide Show' and unchecked 'Use Presenter View' and video recording from within PowerPoint immediately started working fine. Previously, the 'Use Presenter View' box had a check mark in it. When you click on the record video button in Presenter, PowerPoint goes into slide show view and clearly Presenter doesn't like PowerPoint opening the Slide Show view in Presenter view.
I picked up on this from another PC I have with PowerPoint 2013 and Adobe Presenter 9. The video recording feature worked every time on that PC and I noticed that the only difference was that the newer PC had a check mark next to 'Use Presenter View' where as the older PC setup didn't.
So everything is working well now!

Recording Video for Email with Built-In ISight

I am using iMovie HD and the built-in iSight camera to record video messages. While I certainly want the video to be sent with everything in its right place, it would be easier to make the video if during recording the image were a mirror image (as if I were looking in a mirror). This is done for iChat. Can this be done while recording in iMovie?

No; iChat has that facility built in. You see yourself as if in a mirror; the other person sees you as you are.
To do it in iMovie you'd need to record your footage, then apply the 'Mirror' video effect to the clip ..it's under 'Editing', beneath the Clips pane, and then the 'Video F/X' tab.
You'd have to slide the 'Horizontal' slider all the way to the right in order to flip the clip and get a proper mirror image. Rendering may take a while, depending on how long your clip is.
The audio will probably be dreadful, so it's best to Extract the audio from the clip first, before 'Mirror'ing.
But why email a mirror image of yourself? It'd look very odd to the recipient! (..even if it looks OK to you..) ..Whoever receives it - if they know you - will think that something's wrong; your smile will be wrong (tilted the wrong way), any distinguishing marks will look wrong ..it just won't look like you at all!

Making small video "e-mail" with built in iSight

I am very new to the discussions and I apologize for the newbie question...
I travel a lot. I have a new MacBook Pro that has the built in iSight camera. I would like to make little five minute "movie postcards" that I can e-mail to my family to stay in touch. My wife is PC (one of those "mixed marriages"), so I don't think I can get video iChat to work well. So my "video postcard" idea might be worthwhile.
Is there a "beginner's guide" to accomplishing this? It would be great if the little "postcard" was in QuickTime and small enough to send as an e-mail attachment.
Thoughts would be appreciated, and again, I'm sure that this is all beginner's stuff!

QuickTime Player Pro can be used to record an AV Message (File/New Movie Recording), then just select File/Share to send it as an email attachment ...

How can I share HD video recorded from my iPhone 4s

How can I send a video recorded on my iPhone 4s to someone so they can view it in HD? I tried sending the video via mms, but I understand the video will be compressed and the viewer will not see the recording in HD

Hey Ravengirlaa,
Great question! The answer is going to depend on how the photos were originally organized:
A) The albums were synced to your iPhone from iTunes
B) The albums were manually created on your iPhone from photos in the Camera Roll
The following excerpt would apply for situation B:
excerpt from page 71 of the iPhone User Guide - http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
If the photos were synced from your computer, please refer to this article (section "To delete photos and videos from your device"):

Video record from PC

I have trouble recording from my MSI Ti-4400 card to my VCR (from W2k).
I've connected from my graphic card to the VCR with RCA connectors to a SCART adapter to the VCR. The picture is perfect on the TV but when recording on a VHS tape the playback from the tape flickers.
I've tried different tapes and sources and no problem there. It must have to do something with the settings on the graphic card?
Thanks for help.

Found it. The Output device in the graphic card settings was set as NTSC-M as default. Works fine now.
Strange that it had a perfect picture on the TV but not on the VCR recording since the signal was passed through the VCR to the TV (maybe I have an old VCR )
Thanks anyway!

How can I transfer a video recording from iPad Mini to PC?

Hello Good People,
I've got an iPad Mini running ios 7.1.2.
I've got a Windows laptop running Windows 7 with iTunes 11.3.1.2.
I recorded a video of an interview with my elderly mother which I want to transfer to my laptop for editing and saving for the family.
I'd like to use Sync but Sync scares me every time I look at it that it will start erasing things from one place or another. Looks like the unstated assumption is "Sync" from PC to iDevice, not the direction I want to go.
So, I've done the google searching and haven't found anyone answering this issue but I've found dozens of adds from third party software I can buy to do what apple should provide for as a foundational, basic capability which leads me to think that they have purposefully not given people this capability for some reason. The iPad Mini also doesn't appear in Windows Explorer so I can't find the videos myself.
Anyone have a blessedly simple way I'm just not seeing? Is it safe to use Sync and not lose this precious video forever after it flashes its warning of erasing things?
Thank you!
Jim

Okay, I figured out that Windows has "AutoPlay" settings which can automatically download photos and videos from a newly connected device, such as an iPad Mini. I think I could open it in Windows Explorer too that way but the auto download solved my problem.

I have a new iPad 3G and am trying to send video taken from the built in camera to a new macbook. Do I need to buy software to make this easy...can't seem to work out how to sync.

I am trying to send video from the camera in an iPad to a Macbook. Do I need to buy software to make it easier?

Open iphoto, connect ipad, import video.

Black shimmering spots and blotches from my built in iSight camera.

Whilst speaking to someone on Skype earlier in Windows 7 via Boot Camp the person I was talking to noticed three or four black spots on the screen. I booted into Mac OS X and the camera was still showing the black marks. I wiped the screen well to eliminate any chance of dust etc. but the black marks were still there. From what I could see there were no signs of dust between the screen and the camera lens. Oddly, these black anomalies have a strange shimmering effect which makes me suspect that it's a hardware problem with the camera. Has anyone else experienced this? I've only had my iMac from new in late November 2011.
Below are Obviously, the attached image doesn't show the shimmering effect:
...literally after taking that photo using the iSight camera a few more dots appeared. Any advice would be welcomed in regards to this.

Hello, Garrod.
I suggest you restart your iMac in OS X, and then use Apple's Troubleshooting article http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090 to test your iSight with more than one Apple software application. You can use QuickTime Player, Photo Booth, iMovie, etc.
Also test these same apps more than one user account. Don't use the "Guest" account. If your Mac only has one account, create a new user account for testing.
If you view exhibits the same spots when testing in OS X as when you are booted into Windows via Boot Camp, contact your retailer, Apple, or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider to have your iMac checked.
If the problem occurs only with Windows and you cannot find a fix for the software that is involved, consider installing Skype for Mac OS X to see if it will work "spotlessly" when you Skype while booted into OS X.
