• Save to USB audio in sync with the Facetime camera on FCPX

  Hello!

  So, I try to record video of a solo concert using the Facetime camera integrated on my MBP mid-2012, but using a USB audio device. I know I can use the function "voice over" Adding audio afterwards, but which then leads to an irritating noise constantly sync it all together...

  Is it possible (which I don't currently see) to save the external audio of the screen when I import video of the Facetime camera? Or y at - it another way to do it altogether?

  Thank you!!

  YYou can if you can set the audio input in system preferences.

• MacBook Pro retina FaceTime Camera out of alignment / biased?

  I recently had the screen of my retina Pro Macbook (13 inches, end 2013) replaced a program of quality of Apple due to the wear anti-reflective coating.  However, because the repair was completed, I've noticed that the FaceTime camera is out of alignment and/or biased.  In other words, I have to move the computer a lot so that my face is centered on the screen.  This problem exists no matter how soft, I use (photo booth, Skype, FaceTime, etc.).

  Does anyone have experience with this problem and how to fix?  Thanks in advance.

  I've never known the specific problem you are reporting.

  BabyDingo wrote:... How to correct?

  Contact the service provider of Apple who worked on your Mac as soon as POSSIBLE.   Explain the problem and make an appointment for parts replaced to be checked and adjusted if necessary.

  
  

  Don't forget to back up your Mac and Deauthorize iTunes before the call for tenders for this next service visit.

  When you take your Mac once finished all the work necessary, ask the service provider to demonstrate the camera so that you know it works before bring you it home again.

• MacBook Air 11 Facetime camera does not

  A friends MacBook Air 11, model A1370. After the installation of El Capitan the facetime camera has stopped working (No. Camera work icon is displayed in all applications). I tried all the solutions I could find:

  • Reset SMC
  • Reset the PRAM
  • sudo killall VDCAssistant & sudo killall AppleCameraAssistant

  Nothing seemed to fix it, so we left in East. And then surprise, after I installed a Digital Camera RAW compatibility update the camera started working. But our happiness was short-lived, after having put the mac to sleep it stoped working again. I have tried everything but no luck.

  I suspect that there is a process that runs after an update is installed, that somehow erased the bug in the operating system and that was why the camera started working.

  Does anyone have an idea why a camera raw compatibility update started the camera, or why it does not work? Thank you.

  1. the present proceedings is a diagnostic test. It doesn't change anything for the better or worse and therefore, by itself, will not solve the problem. But with the help of the results of the tests, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.

  The test works on OS X 10.8 ("Mountain Lion") and later versions. I do not recommend running it on older versions of Mac OS X. It will do no harm, but it will not do not much good.

  Do not be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You make the tasks more complicated with the computer all the time.

  2. If you do not already have a current backup, please back up all the data before doing anything else. The backup is needed on the general principle, not because of what anyone in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you encounter any kind of problems with the computer, you can be more than the usual loss of data, if you follow these instructions or risk not.

  There are ways to back up a computer that is not fully functional. Ask if you need advice.

  3 here is instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it doesn't change anything. It does not send or receive data over the network. There is no to generate a report on the State of the computer human readable. This report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents for me or someone else.

  You should ask yourself if you can believe me, and if it is safe to run a program at the request of a foreign national. In general, no, he's not sure, and I encourage it.

  In this case, however, there are ways for you to decide if the program is safe without having to trust me. First of all, you can read it. Unlike an application that download you and click to start, it is transparent, anyone familiar with the code can check what it does.

  You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of it have been posted on this site several times over a period of years. One of the million registered users to have read the script and set off the alarm if it was dangerous. Then I wouldn't be here now, and you would not be reading this message. See, e.g., this discussion.

  However, if you cannot satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, do not follow them. Ask other solutions.

  4. here is a general summary of what you need to do, if you decide to go forward:

  ☞ Copy text from a particular web page (not this one) to the Clipboard.

  ☞ Paste into the window to another application.

  ☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.

  ☞ Stick the results, which will be copied automatically, in a response on this page.

  These are not specific instructions; just a glimpse. The details are in parts 7 and 8 of this comment. The sequence is: copy, paste, wait and paste it again. You don't need to copy a second time.

  5. try to test in conditions that replicate the problem, to the extent possible. For example, if the computer is slow intermittently, run the test during a downturn.

  You may have started up in safe mode. If the system is now in safe mode and works pretty well in normal mode to test run, restart as usual before running it. If you can test only in safe mode, this.

  6. If you have more than one user and a user is affected by the problem, and the user is not an administrator, and then run the test twice: once under the affected user and one administrator. The results can be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer, when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you are unable to log in as an administrator, verify that the user concerned. More personal Mac have only one user, and in this case this section does not apply. Don't log in as root.

  7 load the linked web page (the site "Pastebin.") Press the combination of keys command + A to select all the text, then copy it to the Clipboard by pressing command-C.

  8. start the Terminal application integrated in one of the following ways:

  ☞ Enter the first letters of his name ("Terminal") in a Spotlight search. Select from the results (it should be at the top).

  ☞ In the Finder, select go utilities ▹ of menu bar or press the combination of keys shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.

  ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.

  Click anywhere in the Terminal window to activate it. Paste from the Clipboard into the window by pressing Command + V, then press return. The text that you pasted should disappear immediately.

  9. If you logged in as an administrator, you will be prompted for your login password. Nothing displayed when you type. You won't see the usual points instead of the characters typed. Make sure that caps lock is turned off. Type carefully, and then press return. You can get a warning to be careful. If you make three unsuccessful attempts to enter the password, the test is still running, but it will produce less information. If you do not know the password, or if you prefer not to enter, just press back three times at the password prompt. Yet once again, the script will run.

  If the test takes much longer that usual to run because the computer is very slow, you can be prompted for your password a second time. The permission you grant by entering it will expire automatically after five minutes.

  If you are not logged as an administrator, you will be prompted for a password. The test will run. It just will not do anything that requires administrator privileges.

  10. the test may take a few minutes to run, depending on the number of files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that is abnormally slow may take more time to run the test. During execution, a series of lines is displayed in the Terminal window like this:

      Test started

          Part 1 of 4 done at: … sec        …        Part 4 of 4 done at: … sec

      The test results are on the Clipboard.

      Please close this window.

  The intervals between the parties will not be exactly the same, but they give an approximate indication of progress.

  Wait for the final message "Please close this window" appear - again, usually within a few minutes. If you don't see this message in about 30 minutes, the test probably won't be completed within a reasonable time. In this case, press the Ctrl + C key combination or the point command to stop it. Then go to the next step. You will have incomplete results, but still something.

  In order to get results, the test should be allowed to perform or be stopped manually as shown above. If you close the window of the Terminal, while the test is still running, the partial results will not be saved.

  11. when the test is completed, or if you manually stopped, leaving the Terminal. The results have been saved to the Clipboard automatically. They do not appear in the Terminal window. Please do not copy from there. All you have to do is start a response to this comment and then paste it again by pressing Command-V.

  At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words «Start time.» If you do not see that, but rather to see a mass of gibberish, you wait for the message "close this window". Please wait and try again.

  If personal information, such as your name or e-mail address, appear in the results, make anonymous before posting. Usually it will be not necessary.

  12. in the validation of the results, you see an error message on the web page: "you have included content in your post that is not allowed", or "the message contains invalid characters." It's a bug in the software which manages this website. Thanks for posting the results of the tests on Pastebin, then post here a link to the page you created.

  If you have an account on Pastebin, please do not select private in exposure menu to paste on the page, because no one else that you will be able to see it.

  13. When you are finished with the test, it is gone. There is nothing to uninstall or clean.

  14. This is a public forum and others can give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak for themselves, not for me. The test itself is harmless, but all that you can not be. For others who choose to run it, I do not recommend that you view the results of test on this Web site unless I ask.

  15. the related UNIX shell script is a notice of copyright. ASC readers can copy for their personal use. The whole nor any part can be redistributed.

  Hello

  I have an iMac with the El Capitan OS on it. All of a sudden my FaceTime camera stopped working. I can see the other person, but they can't see me because there is a black box with no photo available.

  Thank you!

  First of all, if you have not restarted the computer, as you have noticed the problem, please do it now and test. Otherwise, launch the application Photo Booth. The camera works now?

• Satellite R630-13U - quality of the Webcam is not good

  Hello

  Toady, I just bought Satellite R630-13u and I tried to use the built-in webcam, but the quality is vey very poor, even in the right place of light. I tried to call my self through Skype iphone and my laptop, the quality of the image in the iphone is larger than the cell phone!

  I'll take the comture downtown sevirce to check that there should be some settings to adjust or a sticker placed on the camera where I can not remove it?

  your help is appreciated int his case

  concerned,

  Hello

  It's not easy to talk about the quality of the webcam without seeing and you shouln t compare the quality of the webcam with different products. The built-in webcam is very small compared to USB webcams or very practical cameras.

  But you can improve the quality of the webcam: I found an interesting article about it on the Forum from Toshiba:

• MacBook Pro FaceTime camera does not.

  Good day to all.

  First of all, I want to wish everyone a Happy Easter!

  I am having trouble with my FaceTime on my Macbook Pro retina camera (end of 2013). I have never use the camera for nothing because I use FaceTime on my iPad and iPhone, but when I open the camera and tried to use it, the green light flashes and is not solid. And photos on Photo Booth look like this:

  

  And of course, which should not happen. It is also better to say I got my screen repaired by Apple now for more than a year (24/03/15) where my anti anti-glare came out. I never tried my FaceTime camera since that because, as I say, I do not use.

  Y at - it all sorts of things to try to make it work? I tried to put on with the MagSafe in and holding D at the same time and that has not worked. Of course, I don't want to pay £282 for a new retina display just for a camera, I do not use. But also its obviously better to have everything working as it should in the first place.

  Thanks for reading and any suggestions are welcome.

  Thank you

  Mitch

  On your screenshot, yours is most likely a hardware problem.  Contact Apple or one of the Apple-Authorized Service Provider to have your Mac professionally repaired.  When the repairs are finished, this time, ask the Apple tech to show you that the camera works before paying for the work and take the Mac home.

  Don't forget to back up your Mac and Deauthorize iTunes before the call for tenders for the service.

  xGrimzz wrote:... Y at - it all sorts of things to try to make it work?

  I would be surprised if your problem is correctable user because there is no serviceable parts by the user of the equipment.  However, if you wish, you can try these three additional things before seeking professional help:

  (1) If your Mac restart does not solve the problem,

  (2) use http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090 from Apple.

  (BTW - troubleshooting section called an "iSight" camera.  However, after that article was published, Apple has changed the name of the built-in camera on the recent "iSight" Macs "FaceTime", then "FaceTime HD."  Whatever the name of your built-in camera, the same info and troubleshooting applies.)

  Be sure to test several Apple app (photo booth, FaceTime, iMovie, QuickTime Player, etc.) in more than one user account.  Do NOT use the 'Guest' for this test account.  If you don't have more than one user account for testing, create one now.  If you need help, how is explained in http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201754.

  A 'Standard' user account is all you need for the tests.

  (3) If your camera will work correctly even with Apple applications, use OS X Recovery to completely reinstall your Mac OS since system recovery stored on your startup disk.  Don't bother test Skype or other 3rd party apps until you have your camera works with applications Apple.

  xGrimzz wrote:... I don't want to pay £282 for a new retina screen just for a camera I use... suggestions... Welcome.

  If you use not the camera, and if you experience any other problems with your Mac, it is certainly your option to use the Mac without repair.

  If you want to be able to use a webcam without spending the money for a whole new view, a compatible external webcam Mac might be a cheaper solution.  Be aware, however, that it is possible that the problem of your Mac can also prevent an external camera work.  Therefore, you might want to take your Mac with you and shop on-site.  Ask the retailer to let you try any webcam of interest to see if it will work with your MBP before buying.  If a known-working external cam will not work with your Mac, the material compensation is your only option to leave the uncorrected problem.

• Video quality of the first transformer TF201 ASUS

  I searched through the support network and can't seem to find a solution to the issue I'm having. So here:

  I'm running a first processor ASUS TF201, updated to the most recent version of the ICS (4.0.3).

  Version of the camera is TF201 - 0 x 9900

  Kernel is 2.6.39.4 - 00003-g12de84f

  Build number is IML74K. US_epad - 9.4.2.21 - 20120323

  I installed Skype for Android today (May 5, 2012) since the game of Google. It does not show an available update after installation.

  I am able to use Skype, audio/video... video calls (front and rear cameras) and audio work (using the loose term). Latency is less than 1 sec, but audio and video are synchronized, is acceptable. The problem is that the video quality is EXTREMELY poor, but only when using Skype. There no visible difference in video quality when going from the front to the rear camera... which is strange given the large difference in the qualities of the two cameras, there should be at least SOME difference in quality.

  I also Webcam installed on my first IP and webcam7 installed on my desktop, the video quality is remarkable when using of IP Webcam/webcam7 to test cameras.

  Is there a fix for video quality on the first? I see that other people report a 'green' screen with ICS, but I don't have this problem.

  In the images below, the first is the front camera, the second the camera back. In the two images, the magnified image is the premium, is the smallest of my office.

  Image 1:

  

  Image 2:

  

  Please notify. Thank you.

  

  Good news! With the new update of Skype, the issue seems to be fixed. Thanks Skype! Now I can enjoy video skyping of good quality.

• Quality of the webcam on C720-2848

  The quality of the webcam is not very good for something marketed as having an "HD webcam.

  It seems pretty grainy, almost as if there is some sort of "oil painting" of the applied filter.

  There is another user who sees the same topic, see here: http://www.reddit.com/r/chromeos/comments/1vhbpg/acer_c720_webcam_quality/

  Are there drivers, or something that needs to be updated?  I just tried a wash of power without change.

  The camera of the Chromebook C720 is 1.0 MP HD webcam. Looking at the photo published on Reddit, it seems to be in line with what I would expect of a 1.0 MP webcam. If you feel that your camera has a real hardware problem, you can contact technical support in your region for information on repair.

• When you use the 3D camera tracker, how can I insert an image instead of / on top of a solid?

  I'm just learning how to use the 3D camera Tracker feature.  I wanted to show what would look like a development project proposed along the coast and managed to get four cubes, representing four houses, appears in this video:

  Save our shores Gloucester: the back Shore, now with Mr Court! -YouTube

  Each of these cubes consists of four solid singles.  Effective, but not realistic.

  I would now like to do a similar thing for another construction project.  But for this project, the developer has some renderings of high quality that will look like the building, and I would like to insert these images in my video, rather than repeat my cubes of Day - Glo.

  I can't find a tutorial that shows how to do this, maybe because I did not come to the expression of right to describe.

  How can I achieve this?

  Thanks in advance.

  Just add your solids as placeholders and then add the image to the model and make the 3D layer. Now, hold down the SHIFT key and make the solid placeholder the parent layer of the 3D image. Now the SHIFT key will skip the image layer to the exact position of the solid. Then, simply adjust the rotation and scale. Then you remove the placeholder in parenting will disappear.

• PE9 - resizing pictures - poor quality on the slideshow

  Hello.  I am desperate need help!

  I make a DVD from video and digital photographs and am having a problem with the picture quality in the final result.  The stills are digital images from a camera of professional photographers are so super clear and sharp.  I got resize them batch that there is a certain (as I did in the past) and once they are put into the project and burn to disk (as I just run a few test drives), they are pixelated and blurry.

  I have used before to PE4 and don't remember which is a problem.  I don't know if I'm doing something wrong in my resizing IE wrong type or file size, but I find it really frustrating because they are pictures but get blurry on an LCD TV.  I have older scanned photos in the project as well and I am happy with their clarity for the age, etc.

  Is this a problem of setting on my project?  I also use a camera Canon Legria HD video footage.  Clarity is not great on TV, but I can live with that.  There is an output parameter that I'm missing?  I run some tests before I'll import all digital images any input would be greatly appreciated.

  I noticed some discussion here and also on Muvipix previously, but I can't seem to find an answer to my problem.

  Thank you and best regards,

  Rachel

  Since you are using a mix of photos and hi-def video, you will need to make your photos hi-def to adapt to your project:

  1) go to Edition/Preferences/general and uncheck the option to scale stops at the size of the image. (You must do this before you add your photos to your project.)

  (2) make sure that all your photos are 1440 x 1080 pixels of size. Import into your project.

  (3) place your photos on your timeline. (For best results, as I say in my books, do a right-click on each photo and select Options/Apply flicker removal field.)

  (4) make your project (press enter). The red lines above the clips on your timeline becomes green and you will be able to see your slide show in full quality playbacfk.

  If you are using pans and zooms around your photos - or if you want that they extend to the entire width of your video image and purge on the top and the bottom - you can use pictures as large as 2000 x 1500 pixels in size.

  And don't forget to right click on the video on the monitor, and then select overview of quality!
