Hpw Tp Test Video For Skype On A How To Display ITunes

CamTwists ability to filter out anything but the selected screen makes it the best option we know of for Mac.

The way CamTwist works is by interacting with QuickTime and your computer.

This is actually a pretty powerful program and can do some really cool things if you have time to learn it.

One of the first uses we saw for CamTwist and ProPresenter came from Brad Zimmerman of Church Media Design TV when he showed viewers how to display iTunes titles and artwork over an announcement loop in this video (starts about half-way through the video).

After you have installed CamTwist, go to your Applications folder, open the CamTwist folder, and launch the program.

Change the default options to those shown in the screen shot above.

The Done Selecting button will actually say Select Capture Area initially.

With your video call window open and active, move and resize this box to select the portion of the screen you want to show.

Once youve made your selection, click on the Done Selecting button.

We recommend a framerate of 30 fps or less and a Video Size at or below the output resolution of ProPresenter.

You will need to restart CamTwist for these changes to take affect.

You may also need to restart your video call program and ProPresenter.

Because CamTwist is functioning with QuickTime, ProPresenter will recognize it as a camera input device.

Click on ProPresenter in the menu bar, select Preferences and go to the Live settings.

Since the audio is being handled by your call directly and not Camtwist you will want to uncheck the Audio Source option.

Check Preserve Aspect Ratio so that your video call isnt distorted.

Depending on the video call settings the actual video shown in ProPresenter may have black bars on the sides or top and bottom of the screen in order to maintain the aspect ratio.

If you set everything up correctly in CamTwist you should now see your video call on screen even though ProPresenter is open above the call.

If you are seeing incorrect parts of the screen, go back to CamTwist and make sure your video call settings match those shown in the screen shot.

By selecting the Confine to Application Window and selecting Skype from the drop-down list CamTwist will only show what is selected in the program.

Note that the selection is based on position, so if you move or resize the video call window, you will need to reselect the portion of the screen you want to show.

Another free program, ManyCams, offers similar functionality, but doesnt allow filtering out certain screens and has a watermark.
