I made three videos using Photo Booth on my MacBook and, instead of clicking the little camera button to end the recording session (the same button you would click to begin recording), I simply pressed command+W to close the window/program. When I tried to play the files, I noticed that the videos were not appearing in the little strip at the bottom of Photo Booth. I was able to locate them in Finder, but the files won't play with Quicktime or Quick View or any other program I have on my MacBook (not even VLC). I know the data was captured because the files are about 10MB each, but it seems improperly ending the session (with the Command+W) prevented the movies from being properly finalized. Is there any method for sealing/finalizing the videos after the fact?

In other words, is there any hope for salvaging this content or is it lost forever?

Best Answer: Check out 'Snap'. It's a free photobooth like application for windows. The free version allows you to take up to 10 pictures per day (there is also a paid version that allows you unlimited pictures for $29.99). You can drag your Mac Photo Booth picture to your desktop. You can export the thumbnail by selecting it, choosing File from the Photo Booth menu, and then selecting Export. If it was a four-up shot, it gets exported as an animated.gif file that you can use in Web sites or as your iChat buddy picture.

The status can be 'online', 'away', 'idle', 'mobile', or 'offline'.

Items you will need • Digital video camera with cable • Computer • Printer • 8-by-10-inch photo paper An actor's headshot needs to capitalize on his face. According to the Movie Pool, a headshot is the equivalent to a book's cover. You become interested in what's inside by the what you see on the cover, and an actor's headshot is a direct representation of his most important feature. If you cannot hire a photographer, you can take a professional headshot using Photo Booth and iPhoto. Photo Booth allows you to take numerous shots and then you can edit in iPhoto on your Mac. Choose the best photo that showcases your face and be sure to print it out into the standard 8-by-10-inch head shot size.
