Use Canon DSLR as Webcam

[BrayanThatBeast]

:O GEEENIUS!

Now I can finally upload covers up on here!

:DDDD You made my life!

[GxAxV]

If you want to use this for skype, skype already has this method built into it "screen view" and you can crop the view the same.

[xiNF3CTiONzZZ]

work this also with nikon ?

[banistuci1]

great video tutorial. was wondering when you showed your audio input, did that say Lexicon Alpha? if so, is that a audio interface box? does it have XLR as well as 1/4" ? is there software you had to install to be able to use that? also, what was the mic you were using? and do you have any recommendations for a wireless-lapel mic?

thanks

[crouts0]

the wate mak can be removed in the text overlay section!

[t0ksimir]

manycam also installs ask toolbar shit. i hate that.

[ATWareham]

Tried it, and it works perfectly with my Zoom H4 as the mic. Win!

[SunsetRC]

Is the frame rate really as bad as it looks?

[XoXoBlackCrowXoXo]

What if the cd provided was lost :C but i got the cables and stuff

[CobaltThursday]

And here I have both ManyCam and a T2i, but never though of that method.

[arthurwoo]

thanks for the tutorial, simple and straightforward. would you have any suggestions on a 2 camera feed, for switching between two cameras?

[TheMakeupFreako]

my canon t3 didnt come with the software (i bought it in best buy!) im pissed!!!!

[2010MLKfilms]

What about the t3i

[TheWiredTutorials]

@2010MLKfilms Should work

[2010MLKfilms]

@TheWiredTutorials i cant get manycam to show the image its a blank screen

[Tiuningeris]

@2010MLKfilms Just checked on my T3i. Works fine. ;) Thank you very much, @TheWiredTutorials

[EliaForce1984ita]

You can disable Manycam's watermark by going on "Effects" -> "Text over video" and disable the box that says show manycam watermark

[Qualsiasi]

I use camtwist, with this you can "lock" the video capture on a windows, so you can drag other windows over the live video without having them in the emulated webcam.

[taylorb972]

I've figured out the best way to get the box to go away during live view. Switch it to face detection instead and it'll disappear.

[FataiError]

Can you get rid of the focal box?

[TheWiredTutorials]

@FataiError I'm pretty sure there is a way but I can't seem to find it. I'll take another look

[freakej]

@TheWiredTutorials use Face focus as focusing method and switch the lens to manual, viola.

[orionsbelt0]

@FataiError The focal box goes away if you turn on the 3x digital zoom.

[random36257]

you just saved me 99$ for buying a hd cam. kudos!

[allystylesmuch]

Can a nikon DSLR be used as a webcam too?

[TheWiredTutorials]

@allystylesmuch I'm not very familiar with Nikon but it looks like Camera Control Pro 2 or something similar should do the job. Anything that works in a similar way to EOS Utility.

[commodore256]

You can remove the watermark in the windows version :)

(no piracy, you just click a checkbox)

[MJCastellanos]

My camera has to be in Video Mode? I cant have it in like Shutter Priority and still have the live view work?

[TheWiredTutorials]

@MJCastellanos You should be able to use any mode on your camera

[SnowflakeKun]

Will a Battalion 101 X7200 laptop and a Samson C01U cooperate with my Canon Rebel T3i? All of these are pretty new and I'm not sure they'll go together as your Canon Rebel EOS 60D and your Mac OS X. Either do that, or buy a laptop with a built in mic and webcam.

[wmazri]

dosent work at my eos 60d, i already follow ur step, but when i open manycam, nothing appear. zzzzzzz

[paquitox26]

@wmazri Hit the desktop option on the left side and the the full desktop button on the tab below. that worked for me at least, using a T2i.

[desaad37]

I'm not sure if someone else already mentioned this or not, or if you've figured it out by now or not, but Manycam does allow you to remove the Watermark. It's in the Effects->Text Over Video - > Then Uncheck the box that says Show Manycam.com Logo.

[Xeophane]

how many fps? 30? 24? smooth?

[TheWiredTutorials]

@Xeophane I had my camera set to 24. I'm not sure what ManyCam is capable of, but as long as your system can handle it, it should be smooth. The reason there's a delay when you see me on screen is because I'm running EOS Utility, Soundbooth, another screen capture app to record the desktop, skype, ect. I have used it with skype and it works great

[DjimoSerodio]

60D ftw :D

[ATWareham]

@DjimoSerodio  Got one just like that. Gonna hafta try this for sure!

[TheWiredTutorials]

@ajbarron71 As far as I know, EOS utility doesn't support audio. You could use a video screen capture app and run the audio separately through USB or and audio interface. I recommend Screenflow, which is what I recorded my desktop with in this video.

[marissedt]

thanx. ^^

[jarlaxle]

Could this pose a problem to the internals of the camera if you did it for an extended period of time?

[TheWiredTutorials]

@jarlaxle Not that I know of but that is definitely something worth looking in to. But at the same time, it's not uncommon for a regular video shoot with your DSLR to last more than a few hours

[JulesCoxie]

my computer has no place for the cables to plug in. /so confused

[TheWiredTutorials]

@JulesCoxie It just plugs in to the USB port. As far as I know, every computer should have one

[guy872]

Thanks a lot worked great. Also it works with the Canon EOS Rebel T3i

[TheWiredTutorials]

@guy872 Great! Thanks

[NoteworthyEnt]

super helpful thanks a lot bro. send me to another good video and I will subscribe

[TheWiredTutorials]

@NoteworthyEnt Thanks for watching. Should have more coming soon

[rafidiisme]

I'd recommend using camtwist... you can do the same thing and no watermark....

[TheWiredTutorials]

@rafidiisme There actually is a way to turn off the watermark with ManyCam that was pointed out to me after I posted the video, but Camtwist works just as well. Thanks

[TigerbythetailFilms]

Skype has a partial screen sharing option in their software.

[GemTraffic]

Is there another option which doesn't involve watermarks? A paid one maybe?

[ddhboy2]

@GemTraffic you can turn off the watermark in Manycam, you just have to go into the effects options and deselect the show manycam logo option.

[payndew]

Hey man awesome video. Quick question. I dont know why my Skype wont give me any more options other than "iSight" from my mac desktop under audio/video options. I tried this with Camtasia as well as Manycam.I got everything else worked out with my T2i , Just dont know what to do now. Please tell me what im doing wrong. thanks bro

[TheWiredTutorials]

@payndew Make sure ManyCam is running. It could be an issue with Skype. Some of the newer versions have had a lot of bugs

[andreasblom1]

=D

[mrRocstar96]

hi, i know theres an option how to remove the watermark

[Mikeint0sh]

@ajbarron71 plug in your camera, open EOS utility, click live view, click record :)

[Synchro10]

CRAP!



[intoxicologist]

its not free..... unless you want watermarks overall your videos. it costs 9.95

[BeatDr0p]

how do you get rid of the box?

[BeatDr0p]

its called the af point display in the eos utility. how do you get rid of it? thanks.

[TwistedTim01]

Thanks!

[owlphabetrecords]

if you go to "text over video" in the left panel options, it allows you to remove the watermark.

[stripparo]

cam twist is free now atermark all good :)

[brianaperkins]
