How to change WebCam capture format setting

[markc42207381]

Hi,

When I capture from my webcam, it only allows the file format to be QTKit which means the files I'm capturing are huge. I can't see anyway to change the file format it captures to. I really need the file sizes to be much much smaller when capturing from webcam. Any ideas how I can change this?

I'm using PE-14 for Mac and using the built-in iSight webcam.

Many thanks!

Are you saying that you're capturing from your webcam using Add Media/From Webcam -- or are you using another program to capture from your webcam?

Hi Steve,

Thanks for replying and sorry for such a slow response!

Yes I am capturing from my webcam using Add Media/From Webcam (so within Premiere Elements).

The files are huge and it's really frustrating.

Video files are large. Especially DV-AVIs.

What format is the program saving your files as and how many gigabytes per minute of running time are these files?
