Topic: Can the QCP9k Shoot in Widescreen?

I do not know if any webcams actually shoot in 1280x720. The reason I ask if it SHOOTS and not EXPORTS the video is because I don't want to film something, then have the top and bottom cut off. So, can the lqcp9000 shoot in widescreen/1280x720? mini/wink

Re: Can the QCP9k Shoot in Widescreen?

Yep, it can. In the Logitech webcam software (assuming you have the latest one installed) go to the capture window and look at the control window to the right. you'll see an option to change it from standard to widescreen, and then from the drop down menu you can select 720p. And almost all external animation softwares have the option to choose 720p widescreen as well. The Quickcam can handle the quality of 720p perfectly, and in standard you can shoot up to 8MP within the quickcapture software mini/eek (that's a lot).

I use the quickcam pro, yes. I also use helium frog animation software, and shoot with a resolution of 1280x720. I'm not sure which OS you are running, but helium frog is great for windows, and can be found here:http://www.heliumfrog.net63.net/heliumfrogindex.html. Good luck!

Re: Can the QCP9k Shoot in Widescreen?

hmm. What animation software do you use? istopmotion? I've heard that the quickcam has some problems mixing with mac's hardware.

Re: Can the QCP9k Shoot in Widescreen?

Actually, I'm looking to buy a camera and everybody recommended the quick cam. But I only want a camera that shoots in 1280x720. And if it doesn't work with a mac, I'm in big trouble. mini/tongue

Re: Can the QCP9k Shoot in Widescreen?

Well it seems logitech has a quickcam vision pro made specifically for mac (http://www.logitech.com/en-roeu/webcam- … vices/4528), so hopefully everything should work correctly with that. And everybody who recommended a quickcam 9000 was right, it is by far the best webcam for brickfilming. And if you're looking for mac animation software as well, I'd check out framebyframe (http://web.mac.com/philipp.brendel/Soft … rame.html) even though of course I've never used it. And it does seem this thread is getting a little off from the original topic doesn't it, mini/lol? If you have an questions specifically for me, you can go ahead and PM me.

And to everyone else.........does anyone mind making a video showing how to switch the aspect ratio to 1280x720? mini/lol
