Recording Video and Audio
With a video camera and a Macintosh computer you can use QuickTime Pro to record a movie. QuickTime Pro can capture video from most FireWire-equipped sources, including the Apple iSight, DV cameras, and some webcams. With a Macintosh or Windows computer, you can also record audio using a built-in or external microphone
To record audio or video with QuickTime Pro:
- Connect the camera or microphone to the computer (unless you are using a built-in microphone).
- In QuickTime Pro, choose File > New Movie Recording (or File > New Audio Recording).
A preview window appears, which you can use to adjust settings such as camera position, lighting, and audio level before you start recording.
- To start recording, click the Record button at the bottom of the window.
- To stop recording, click the button again.
The movie you just recorded appears in a QuickTime movie window. By default, the movie is saved on the desktop, but you can choose another default location in the Recording pane of QuickTime Player Preferences.
