Best Way To Capture Webcam?

6 replies
I attempted using Camtasia 6 but the finished product looks like it was recording at 1 frame per second instead of 30 lol and their "webcam recorder" function is pre set to a little tiny sized box

Whats the best program to directly record video using my laptops webcam...help!!?

    Use quality capture/editing software like Sony Vegas for live motion stuff. They have a 30 day free trial as well.

    I think with camtasia it's all about the settings. Does the initail playback give you the same results or is it after you convert it to a clip where it will do that. I know we use it all the time at work, however not to capture webcam.

      The video quality of the Webcam itself is a problem. You would be better off using a camcorder as a webcam using a software such as WebCamDV. There are others but WebCamDV is the one I have heard of most favorably.

      Thank you
