QUESTION
I used to use this app often, and it was good! It did exactly what it says it does, and my my work flow eaiser. I was happy with it.
ALTHOUGH, I recently began doing this again, and was dissapointed to be met with a error message as soon as I opened the app saying
«Unfortunately there was an error when trying to acsess the camera. Try again or acsess a differnt one.»
I don’t understand, when I go to the preferneces the facetime camera is already selected, which is the only camera and the same camera im useing and have always used. Any idea what could have cause this error? I liek the app, but i can’t use it now 🙂 please let me know! thankyou
Developer Response ,
Thank you for your question. If you are using Catalina, please check your security settings. Go to System Preferences / Security & Privacy / Camera — and make sure that Quick Camera has access to the camera.
Simple interface for a USB microscope
I bought a simple USB microscope. Quick Camera gives you the image on the screen. No fuss. It used to require a screen capture to save an image. Now image save is an option.
Only 4 stars because there are no preferences to set a file name prefix. Save always brings up a dialog. For microscopy it is often the case you want to do a bunch of rapid images. A single keypress should be allowed to get pics one after another. A C format string with variables for time, sequece, next number, etc. would be a good addition.
Quick, Minimal, Flexible
I like how this app focuses on one thing well. The other alternative I’ve tried is Quicktime Viewer but it is cumbersome to set up for easy webcam uses. I’ve been using QuickCam as a way to fake «picture-in-picture» while streaming my desktop into Discord.
There are only a few issues I have with this version (1.4.2 at the time of this writing):
1. The «Fix Aspect» option doesn’t seem to do anything. I expected it to lock the window frame size to the aspect ratio of the source (I’m still on Mojave)
2. There is no way to «keep the window on top». MacOS doesn’t let you pin arbitrary windows, so this is something that needs support in the app itself. I want to float my camera window on the desktop as I stream full-screen.
Other than that, this is a really great utility for my needs. Keep up the good work!
