Capturing (AVI) Video Using WebCam Express

Now that you have your camera installed you can use it to capture short movies called AVI files. The length of time you can record an AVI while the camera is connected to your computer will vary, depending on how much hard drive space you will use to save the file. Please take note that these AVI files take up a lot of hard drive space. This is done through the PhoTags WebCam Express program. This next section will walk you though capturing an AVI file.

1.Double-click the “WebCam Express” icon that is on your desktop to launch the “PhoTags WebCam Express” program. Adjust your WebCam to the desired position. The screen will display what the WebCam “sees”.

2.To add audio to your video, plug a microphone into your computer.

3.Click the “Capture” button to start recording the video. The elapsed recording time will appear under the video.

4.Click the “Pause” button to pause recording. To continue recording click the “Capture” button again.

5.To finish recording click the “Stop” button.

6.Videos will automatically be saved in a default directory. You can view them in the “Playback” window.

Note:

1.Taking snapshots: to learn how to capture JPEG snapshots from your WebCam or from your existing AVI movies, go to the “Take Snapshots” section in the Quick Start help.
