Use Logitech Camera On Mac

For those of us using a Logitech 920C and/or a 930E on a Mac, how do we get the picture to look better?

The secret, which I've just found out after years of using one of these cameras on a Mac, is to use the Logitech camera settings app available directly on the App Store.

The secret after years of using one of these cameras on a Mac is to use the Logitech camera settings app available directly on the app store. After downloading the app, and tweaking the settings, the picture quality was quickly and easily increased.

I downloaded the app, I tweaked around with the settings and it helped me very quickly make the picture quality a whole lot better. Before I adjusted this, I was washed out a bit and now I look a whole lot better because of using the Logitech camera settings.

I was thinking of spending a thousand plus dollars to get a better camera because up until now, I just thought you couldn't have the Logitech software.

When you plug the camera in, Logitech doesn't do like it does on Windows and have you install the software. On Mac you just plug it in and you are kind of stuck with the camera.

I've got the app open in my Mac now.

You can see I can do things with it like if I want to zoom in.

I can hear you say, 'No. Don't zoom in,' but if you want to zoom in with it, it's nice that you can do that.

One of the things that are really helpful also is to adjust the focus using this app.

You can just slide the focus back and forth.

For some reason, the camera was not focusing right, so when I'd step back for a minute or I'd step forward for a minute, it would come out of focus, and then try to autofocus again.

So, I've set the focus at a fixed length and now I can move around.

Even if I go back, I can go back a little bit or come up pretty close and still be in good focus.

I'm grateful that my friend Tomas George with Digital Music Masters told me about this after years of struggling with these Logitech cameras on a Mac live streaming with Wirecast.

The downside is that you have to keep the application open in the background on Mac, which if your computer is already strained that could add a little more processing power.

I've got all the gear that I use for this incredible live streaming music setup with a Mac Pro and this little app is one of the big pieces I've been missing for a long time.

This little app has saved me thousands of dollars. There is no way I'm buying a new camera now. This picture looks so much better than it did.

If you watch any of my other videos before July 11, 2018, you can see what a difference the camera settings make.

I appreciate you reading this or watching the video at the top of this post.

I talk about this because this has helped me a lot and I hope it helps you as well.

Now, if you see the really low ratings on it, if you have got two cameras, it doesn't work just right with them.

It is working on High Sierra right now for me, and the newest review helped me to see that, and therefore, the reviews are pretty bad.

At the same time though, it does help and it does work.

So, thank you for reading this.

Top strategy games for mac. I love you.

You are awesome.

I hope this was helpful.

I have a [Logitech HD C270]() webcam, capable of 720p HD video capture, which I've used for some time on Windows without any issues, but today I've decided to connect it to my Macbook Air to record some HD video on the go. Turns out, this is not as easy as I thought.

First of all, PhotoBooth does not record HD video, and iMovie doesn't work with a USB webcam.

QuickTime Player (quite surprisingly for an app called something-player) does record HD video.

Some quick facts about QuickTime Player video recording:

  • To start, open QTP, then File > New Movie Recording;

  • To open preferences, click the little arrow:


    QuickTime Player capture preferences

  • Surprisingly, the camera lets you record a full 1280 x 960 (4:3) video stream. So the 720p resolution is already letterboxed (and the Logitech Webcam Software won't give you more). Cool!

  • The frame rate is 25 FPS for a well-lit scene and half that for a poorly lit scene. The halved FPS are practically non-noticeable unless you're recording something fast-moving. The video gets noisier without light (of course.)

  • Audio is in sync. You want to make sure you're using the webcam microphone, because it's more sensitive.

  • It records video in M-JPEG and audio in uncompressed PCM. A 1280x960 stream takes from 1 to 1.5 Mb of disk space per second. For the math illiterates, this means that a 1 hour video will take around 4 Gb of disk space, so be prepared.

  • QuickTime Player generates about 50% CPU load while recording in full resolution on a late 2011 MacBook Air. This means you want to bring your charger with you.

  • After the recording is finished you have to save it to some file, this happens very fast, obviously no additional encoding/processing/compression is performed.

  • Recording works fine with QTP minimized.

  • You don't need Logitech drivers for the camera. HD capture works fine with the built-in drivers. Skype uses a 480p resolution though.

Have fun recording video, and good luck.
