    Not possible. Capture is only possible from a tape based camera or tape deck over firewire.

    wait - premiere pro is unable to use the MacBook Pro webcam as a video source?

    so iMovie can do it, but Premier Pro --- can't?

      Premiere Pro works with Firewire (whatever that is called in the Mac world) but NOT with USB or a web cam

      You must use other software to save video via USB or web cam

      When you use the supplied software, or a suitable substitute, make sure to capture to a format/CODEC, that PrPro can easily work with, like DV-AVI Type II for SD material. Do NOT use something like DivX, or Xvid, as they are delivery-only formats/CODEC's, and will be highly problematic. Also, the quality, which will not be great to begin with, will be further compromised.

      Good luck,

      The problem is that the software that came with the cam crashes all the time.

      Any suggestion for a software that does HD?

      Unfortunately, I do not. I would anticipate that Google would have many, and there should be some reviews/comments from users, as to what works for them. Also, others might well have some first-hand recs.

      When you look into these, do check for the capture format/CODEC, as this can be a make/break deal, when you go to Import and edit.

      Good luck,

      Just use the software that came with your webcam. If you don't already have it installed, it's probably available for download on the manufacturer's website.
