The computer will see the camera connected via USB as an external device the same way it sees an external hard drive : you may transfer files from the device, but the the computer will not see the camera as a camera, in other words it will not "see" the live video feed through the camera lens when connected via USB.Īnimation apps such as TVP "see" through the camera lens with a live video feed using the Firewire interface. The main thing that a digital video camera needs is dv-out IEEE 1394 ("Firewire" or "i-Link") connection to the computer. right now I am working with a webcam stuck in a plastic wase to be a "camcorder" until I can get something that works so my animation doesn't look so nasty. I have clicked on every button and read the manual to find something to keep the camera on when it is connected, but it just won't do it.ĭoes anyone know of a way to make that happen, or a link to the compatibility list thread so that I can buy something that will work for me.

It seems to just turn off whenever I plug it in. I just bought a Canon FS100 and if it is compatible I need a litle bit of help.

I apologize if this is a repeat thread, but I have been scouring for atleast 2.5 hours on the forums and I havn't found a compatibility list for the program.
