			<content type="html"><![CDATA[Thanks guys, for the suggestions!

I just derped and realized that my dad has a fancy Nikon D80 camera that nobody ever uses for one reason or another. Does anyone know some free frame capture programs that work with this sort of camera? I kind of want to use a live capture thing because then I can do onion skinning and have less importing and exporting.]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[I do not think there is a software which can turn a camera into a webcam, but there are certainly options for stabilizing the device as much as possible to reduce camera bumps. My camera cannot send a live feed to my computer (well it can, but I just don't have a HDMI port, and have not bought an adapter, and I believe easycap has low quality). There are 3 possible solutions, and I use 2. You can get a shutter remote. I do not use this, simply because my camera is incompatible with those. The next solution is setting a timer between shots. I usually have mine set to two seconds. This well allow the camera to get back into it's resting position. The third option is in post production. I use sony vegas, and I have the option to import an image sequence directly from my camera. What I then do is apply a stabilization effect, which actually produces a satisfying result. Hope this helps.

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[I did some research and this camera may be able to, but I'm not sure.

Make sure you download all the camera drivers for this camera, then just have a go at plugging it in via usb and see if its recognised in MJ/heliumfrog, if not then your best bet is a webcam or dslr.]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[That's a good idea, I completely forgot about those. However, is there any way to directly compile the frames into a video rather than having to export them off the camera, import them into the software, and then export the video from the software?
Thanks anyway, that's a great suggestion.]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[So... I haven't brickfilmed in like a year because my school was trying to kill me and things, and whenever I think about getting back into brickfilming, the one thing that always discourages me is the camera bumpiness. I have tried tripods, brick-built camera cradles, and suction cups and none of them are working for me. So I have figured out that the problem is that I don't have a remote capture software. I am using a camera[url=http://www.amazon.com/Canon-PowerShot-SD1200IS-Stabilized-2-5-inch/dp/B001SER48S] like this[/url], just taking the pictures and loading them all onto SAM animation afterwards. So I was wondering if anyone knows a software compatible with this sort of digital camera, that essentially lets it function as a webcam. Thanks!]]></content>
