Grainy? Are you using capture software, or the webcam software?

Try turning the anit-flicker off. If every setting is on manual and you get light flicker, it must be a physical source of light. Are you using lamps? If so, what kind of bulbs?

What do you have the resolution set at?

Use a desk lamp with diffusion paper on it (baking paper works good). If you're somewhere between the celing lamp and your camera, your movements will cause light flicker.

They aren't made for a mac and I'm surprised it even works on that OS. And Flash Code. Always make sure that your gain bar is lower than your exposure bar.

   

It has no manual controls though, so it's practically useless for brickfilming. You'll need either Bootcamp or VMWare, and a copy of Windows, in order for the QC9000 to work on a Mac. FuryBros, I'm not sure how it's "working fine" for you guys.

@Flash Code: A desk lamp will work better because it's closer to your set, and is much brighter on a more focused area. Taping paper (printer paper works best) a decent distance (5 in./13 cm.) will diffuse the light, giving to a more natural look. Also, does the frame capture program you're using have a window/tab where you can adjust the camera's settings? If not, then you should open the webcam's software program, and adjust the controls from there. Make sure ALL your settings are on manual.
