How to record live web cam video directly into Premiere Pro (CC on Windows 10)

Contributor ,
Dec 28, 2023 Dec 28, 2023

I need to record a short video of myself.  I could put a camera on a tripod, shoot the video, then read the file into my PC and then PP.  I also have a 4K web cam, though, and it would be easier to just shoot the video with that (the quality doesn't have to be great).  Easier still to shoot it right into PP.  Is there a way to do that?  Haven't been able to find any instructions online.  Thanks for any tips.

I use an iMac and a Logitech BRIO 4k Pro Webcam, Yeti mic. Maybe I'm not searching for the right key phrases, but I'm having trouble finding the information on how to do this. Is it not possible with Premiere Pro?  If not, what software should I be using?  Thanks

I'm sorry but Premiere does not allow you to record directly into the software. You would need to used another software for that. You might want to consider using Camtasia.

You are saying that it is not possible to record audio into Premier Pro? I would think this is one of the key functions for any video editing program. I am frankly shocked to learn this. I'm going back to Screencast-o-matic, because I can at least record my videos.

Use Quicktime Player (included on your iMac) and choose File - New Movie Recording. You can select your microphone from the down arrow next to the record button.

You can do Screen recordings this way as well.

@spaceart1 It is not possible to record a webcam video in Premiere Pro. Recording audio is possible.

Another good, free option to record a webcam on both Windows and Mac OS is OBS:
