I've tried many different ways to try to open it, with iMovie, Photo Booth, iTunes, QuickTime Player, etc and none work.Īlso, when I click "Get Info" it shows that following info: So my problem is, how can I open that file to see the video clip?
#Macbook photo booth will not take photo movie#
The movie is not in a format that QuickTime Player understands." "The document 'Movie on at 18.58' could not be opened. So now when I clip to open that file it does not open, it brings up a small warning window saying: Now this last file does not show an image, it just shows the Quicktime icon with "MOVIE" in the bottom and the name of the file. I know this is how movie clips on Photo Booth get saved.Īll the other files or movie clips that I've done are in that folder, they show a preview image of the content I recorded for that clip, and the name. I know this is the file I recorded because they get saved as "Movie on at 18.58" which shows the date and time. So then I went directly to the folder where all the movie clips get saved from Photo Booth and I found the file I had recorded there. Once I did that and had realized I had done that, I went back, open Photo Booth again to see if the clip had gotten saved and it didnt. I closed the window by pressing the "x" on the top left corner instead. Now heres my issue, the other day was recording a very important clip on photo booth the same way as I would always do, it was about 15-20minutes long, the only thing is that when I finished recording it, I forgot to press "stop".

The clip gets saved on the bottom and i can click it whenever, to review or watch my recorded clip with no problem. It has always worked fine for me, I open Photo Booth and switch to "Record a movie clip", then I press record and when I am done I press stop. I use Photo Booth to record clips of video from the iMac's internal camera. I recently bought the imac 27-inch 2.7Ghz.
