I want to use the built in iSight on my MacBook to make a 'Magic Movie' in iMovie.

Everytime I click Magic Movie, select the settings, etc. and click Create, it goes to searching for a DV Camera, and when it cannot find one, it stops trying. While its searching, the window has the image from iSight in it, but when it says 'No DV Camera found' it goes away.

Help?

"Magic Movie" doesn't make a movie for you live...it takes prerecorded content off a tape and makes it into a simple video. If you want to make a movie with your iSight, first record all your video into iMovie.
 
I'm haveing the same problem.

The response to this was that you can't record from isight using magic movie.
How do you record using isight???
