I am on a MacBook. What app should I look for to record a movie of me playing harp? Thought I'd try the slow blues in G.

If it's a relatively new one, with the built in iSight, then Photobooth should do video.

iMovie or Quicktime Pro. Both of those are great. iMovie is free with the Mac as part of iLife, Quicktime Pro is around $30USD.

I think you'll find your way fairly easily. Macs are built right:)

Photobooth records a "mirror image" , it's very easy and straight forward to use,but be ready for questions like "are you holding your harp up side down?" etc ... as eharp mentioned, use imovie, it also lets you upload directly to youtube, very convenient..


Recorded with Photobooth and edited in imovie

Your gonna want to use two programs. Imovie and Garage bands. Record your video go Share pick the format that
lets you do youtube. save to the desk top. Drop it in garage band and you can eq use effect, compression.
save to desk top and uplosd to youtube. sometime youtube strips the effect. You can load the garageband
file wich is .Mov back into Imovie and save again and then upload to youtube.

What no Holy Card. The nuns used give us Holy Cards.
Most of the time they just stuck me in the basement of
the convent to keep me after school.LOL

@DutchBones. Excuse me folks for butting in but Dutch, your YouTube signature isn't working and Drifting Back was sublime. Where could I get the backing Track for that?

@tookatooka - Thanks T, Sorry about the link, it should be working now...
I used a bt from Jon Gindick (with his permission)

@Diggs - Thanks for posting this D, it's the first time hearing this song. It does sound different to me (from Gindick's version) but great all the same.
