Doing more with the iSight
Doing more with the iSight
01/16/2004 01:01 PMThe iSight came close to being the biggest disappointments of my
new Mac experience. It looks gorgeous and appears to integrate
seamlessly with iChat AV, although as I don't currently have any
contacts with an iSight I haven't been able to try video conferencing
yet. The dissapointment is that there was no clear way of using it to
capture video directly - a feature that I reasonably expected from
iMovie. Apple's knowledge base knocks the point home pretty clearly:
iSight
is intended for use as a video conferencing camera, and does not
output the DV format necessary for capturing video with
iMovie.
Well that sucks. Thanksfully before writing the thing off
completely I did some Googling and turned up this excellent O'Reilly
article: Ma
king Movies with the Apple iSight, which shows how Apple's free QuickTime
Broadcaster software can be used to capture footage straight from
the iSight to disk.
Surprisingly for Apple the procedure is far from transparent, but
at least it's possible.
Oh, and the biggest disappointment? The fabled backlit keyboard,
which tends to be drowned out by the light from the laptop screen
making it more of a gimmick than a useful feature.

iPhoto, iMovie, iDVD, iSight See
Updates -- Apple last week released updates to three of its
iLife '05 applications, providing a small but welcome collection of
bug fixes. iPhoto 5.0.2 (a 5.5 MB download) gains stability and
improved performance, especially on PowerPC G3-based Macs. It also
allows resizable thumbnails in book layout mode and improves slideshow
performance. iMovie HD 5.0.2 (a 2.7 MB download) addresses audio and
video synchronization, adds better support for pass-through devices
(such as analog-to-digital converters), and improves exporting HDV
(high definition) video back to the camera. It also seems to fix a bug
where titles would disrupt DV video clips, and better handles iMovie 4
projects that used speed-adjusted clips. iDVD 5.0.1 (a 2.6 MB
download) improves stability and compatibility with iMovie HD and with
iPhoto slideshows. Lastly, Apple updated the iSight software to
version 1.0.3 (a 1.1 MB download), which improves the audio recording
capabilities of the tiny video camera. All four updates are available
via Software Update, or as separate downloads. [JLC]
