That depends if you are on a mac than you can make a quartz composition file that just shows a camera feed, otherwise you need something like an edirol v-4.

Here you go
just import it into serato like a normal video and then just drop it in with an audio file

Hi djbreeze_1,

I have set the download privileges to all so should be able to see and download the file that djs1 has uploaded.

Let me know if you run into any issues :)

click capture and the click inspector in the top right corner

the best way to record is using screenflow or a pinnacle video transfer if you can find one
djs1 1:59 AM - 5 April, 2011
if you need any other qtz files just ask

Is a qtz file available for using external USB webcams instead of the built-in iSight (Mac)?

In MixEmergency it is possible like shown here:

Watchwww.youtube.com

He uses a file called video.DVInputStream

(found here: www.inklen.com )

but this does not work with Video-SL (because it's not a qtz file).

Is there anyway to do this on Windows 7 (64-bit)?

the file does work with external cameras you just have to change the type of camera in quartz

I downloaded and said I needed quicktime player 7 which i then downloaded. opened the quartz file in quicktime but just shows a black screen in my built-in isight? However my camera works fine in other applications? Something wrong with my isight?

this is awesome :)


but is it just on my end or did serato 2.2.2 marked these files as "corrupt"
djs1 4:48 PM - 9 June, 2011
It may not run with video sl in version 2.2.2 yet.
DeeJay Fingers 10:40 PM - 9 June, 2011
i had a corrupt database folder so i made a new one and everything is all fine :)

also meant to put 2.2...not 2.2.2...

got love the external cam quartz file :)

At one point I came across a video of how to run multiple video cameras in quartz, so when you would slide a record backward it would be one camera and when you moved it forward it would be another.
DeeJay Fingers 7:16 PM - 11 June, 2011
i would like to see that video, if you remembered where it can be found

thanx
