Using Your iSight Camera with iMovie HD
You can capture live video from your built-in iSight camera directly into iMovie HD.
To capture live video:
1 Open iMovie HD by clicking its icon in the Dock (or choose Applications > iMovie HD).
2 Click the mode switch to set iMovie HD to built-in camera mode.
3 Click the camera icon to the left of the mode switch and choose Built-in iSight from the
pop-up menu.
4 Click the “Record With iSight” button in the iMovie monitor to begin recording.
The video you see in the iMovie monitor is recorded as a clip in the iMovie Clips pane.
5 Click the “Record With iSight” button again to stop recording.
You can record video as long as your iMac has enough disk space to hold it.
