Preparation
Build the Interface Launch REALbasic. Open Window1 and add a BESTCapture Control to the window from the Toolbar. In the Properties window, turn on the Preview and EnableVideo properties by clicking them. Next, add a PushButton to the window. Arrange the interface to your liking. An example in OS 9 might look like this (this plug-in is OS X compatible too!):
Close Window1 and create a new window by selecting File-New Window. The new window will be named Window2, but you don't have to do anything more to it. Simple, eh? Source Code Open Window1 again and double click PushButton1 to open the Code Editor. To its Action event, add the following code: dim p as picture Believe it or not, that's it! Select Debug-Run to test your code. If all goes well, you should see video when you launch the project. Keep in mind that you will need to have some kind of video source connected to your Mac for this to work. If you encounter troubles and still aren't seeing video as expected, check out the ShowVideoSettings method in the documentation for the plug-in. Conclusion That's all for this week. You can download the completed project. Have fun playing with your new toy and see you next week! |

There's a new video and audio capture plug-in on the block:
