Only in 2021, Apple finally installed 1080p cameras in their newest MacBook Pro 14″ and 16″.Īlso, the thin and light form factor of the MacBook Air and Pro makes internal hardware design such a difficult task to handle. No wonder Apple keeps reducing the size and number of ports available to the newer versions of MacBook Airs and Pros.

For recording videos where it’s important that the image isn’t flipped, we recommend the free version of QuickTime included in OS X 10.6 and later. Some Apple software automatically flips the image to make live chat more intuitive. If you’re using Mac OS X, the only way to access additional controls for the camera at this time is to install a third party application such as iGlasses. If you change that to YUY2 mode and click OK, the additional options in the Video Capture Filter screen will become available and allow you to tune the image. Locate the Color Space/Compression setting as pictured below. To check, click Cancel and select Video Capture Pin from the Options menu. If the options are greyed out, the system may be streaming the video in MJPG format which blocks the extra controls. The live video feed will automatically refresh and start using your new settings. Select the options you’d like to use and click OK. There are two boxes at the top of the screen: Image Mirror (horizontal flip) and Image Flip (vertical flip). You’ll be taken straight to the screen you need with the camera settings. Select Video Capture Filter from the Options menu. If the window is still blank, check that the camera isn’t open in any other software at the same time and ensure that Preview is selected in the Options menu. If it’s missing, select the camera from the Devices menu first.

When the software opens it should show a live preview from your camera. Windows 8 users can search for the application by name: HUE HD Camera. You might have to click All Programs first. Our HUE Animation and HUE Intuition software packages (sold separately) have built-in flip/mirror features.įirst, open the software from the Start Menu. If you’re using different software, please check the publisher’s website for instructions. These instructions apply to AMCap, the optional camera software available with the original HUE HD Camera.
