Thanks, r.j.s. and grt8tfly for your suggestions. I tried them without success. This is frustrating since this is the last element to complete my iMovie project and cannot be duplicated. You guy's and this forum are great. I didn't even get a response on the Apple forum.
can't drag clip from photobooth to i Movie or export anywhere
for some inexplicable reason
can't drag movie clip from photo booth to iMovie
can't even export to facebook
nor can i find iSight in Utilties anymore
have tried the safe reBoot but to no avail
I have in the past been able to do all of the above
From PhotoBooth, I clicked 'email', and mailed it to myself.
From Email, I saved attachment.
The file is then saved as an .mov, which I think can be used in iMovie.
Hope that helped!
Photobooth is fun, but pretty limited in features, I must say!
