I have had the camera for about a year now (logitech quickcampro 9000) and i can't seem to find a working method of the filming process.
I need program where i can actually edit the settings with my quickcam and being able to use 15fps and save it as a video. But i can't seem to find anything. I tried monkeyjam for this but it seemed to crash with how high the images i took were. I don't plan to spend money so what should i use?
Animator DV Simple+ or Helium Frog would probably do the trick. Both are free; download them and see if they suit your fancy.
Sorry for the late reply but I looked into animator DV and the free version has watermark restrictions which bother me half dead. Helium Frog Seems like something i should look at. But is their anything else for actually capturing the frames and allowing me to use my quickcam settings?
Actually, Animator DV Simple+ doesn't have watermarks- you might have been looking at the demo version of Animator HD, which is a different program.
Most of the other free frame-capture software I'm familiar with is buggier than MonkeyJam and less functional.
The problem i had with monkey jam is that it seems to have issues when i try to use high quality pictures.
I'm not really sure if you should use Helium Frog or not. A really nice feature of it is that is has instant playback and automatic saving but it also seems to crash as if it's favourite hobby. I originally made another entry for Smoovie (not the one with Hal) and halfway through filming i lost 500 frames of the film, which i couldn't find (as Helium Frog saves in video files not individual pictures if i recall) and had to re-shoot them. It may have just been my old computer as I haven't tried it on my new one but the risks just seem to be not worth taking.
