OK, new problem. It keeps brightening as I put something on screen like(as in the clip) my hand, a minifig, or whatever. I'm not sure what's wrong, everything is on manual. It looks like I have white balance on, but I don't.
Are you blocking any of the lights, by any chance? 
Well, if I move my hand into the set of course it blocks some of the light. But no I am not entirely blocking any lights. Besides, why would that make things brighter?
Oh, lol, I thought it got darker. Maybe I need to get my eyes checked
Aren't you already wearing glasses? 
That sounds like a typical case of auto-exposure being left on.
Wrong again. It's off.
DUBBLE POZT FTW
Anyone else have a clue?
Are you sure you have every last thing on manual? Because just making the focus manual dosen't make the auto exposure and white balance manual.
Edit: Wait, wait, I had a problem like that a little while ago. Find where it says 'Reset to default settings', and click it. That solves it, but then you have to put everything to manual again.

OK, I'll try it.
My problem is the quickcam's software doesn't work on mac. I will never get a PC. But now I'm happy because the new Macs can run Windows software. And my dad's gonna buy and iMac with Snow Leopard. We're still running Tiger on an old emac. My dad's laptop runs leopard and I've been using his laptop for animating.
Bricklord, I have the same issure. It's very strange and i've tried everything. EVERYTHING is on manual. It happens at random times too, like the black bunny in Bunnies 5 caused that to happen, so I changed camera angles for the shot and then it worked. I don't know...?
I use MonkeyJam, and when I rendered a film clip I made, it came out grainy, and that annoys me. Any ideas why? Yes I have everything on manual
Bricklord, I've had this problem too especially when masking. I just messed around with my lights, made sure the gain was much lower than the exposure, and fiddled around with the the camera angle, and eventually solved it.
But maybe it's something to do with the light reflecting off the torso?

Check how much you compressed it.
If you're not having enough space in your Hardrive, It'll compress it very much down in size.
Also, check how much it's Already Setted to compress it.

Webcams capture images from a video stream, which is why it can be grainy. When seen as a video, you don't notice the grain as the frames fly by. To correct for this, capture programs use "frame averaging". The software captures multiple grainy images and then averages them all together into one, less grainy image. So my guess is that you're capturing in MonkeyJam with the Frame Averaging turned off.
Also, not enough light can also contribute to graininess.
so the 9000 seems really good. i now own a 4000 should i get a 9000 or a powershot?o_0
I've heard the 4000s are really good, so if I already had a good webcam, I might go for the powershot.
hey guys I have a little problem with the qc9k... In my THAC entry I had the problem, that my vid is so big... more than 1 GB... I did it with 8MP in the Logitech software and then put it together in VirtualDub but then VirtualDub killed my sound... Should I try other settings?
