Forums - Bricks in Motion » Equipment & Software » Logitech Quickcam 9000 for MAC!??!?! (I need help)
Ok so I am getting an Imac in March....And I use a Logitech QC 9000 for all of my films...And so far I have found out that it doesn't work for video on the Imac(auto-focus)... And my question is: is there any FREE stop-motion software that will allow me to manual focus and take pictures with the webcam on an Imac?
Please reply ASAP!
I think you can in frame by frame. 
Try istopmotion2. I use a logitech webcam in that.
the 9000 is not able to manual focus with mac no matter what the software

Did you try going to "Advanced Settings"? There should be an option where you can disable the auto-focus and be able to manually focus.

You're still thinking in a Windows mindset. The included software won't work on a Mac, simply because it wasn't designed for it.
In short, the QC9000 does not work in Mac OSX, and there is nothing around that.
There IS an alternate method however. If you can install Windows on Bootcamp, or VMWare for that matter, you'll be able to run the QC9000 drivers, and thus manually drive the QC9000, from a mac. You can then save all your work to the hard drive, and mount the drive from the Mac OS, thus allowing you to use programs such as Final Cut Pro for editing, and monkeyjam for frame capture.
