If I record a video on my mac photo booth that surpasses 3 or 4 minutes it saves as an empty video. 0:00 seconds and I'm unable to play it. This began happening after I updated to MacOS Monterey. I have put my computer into safe mode, changed, users, restarted, deleted photobooth library and made a new one etc. Any help would be great. I've attached a photo as an example.
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 11.0
Nor for me. Sometimes it records & sometimes it doesn't. I'm using it on a
2017 Imac as a security camera when I go out, which was great until this began.
am on 12.4 and same problem
Ditto here with a new MacBook Pro M1.
Using a second party camera via Photo Booth.
2 videos were under 60 seconds.
I now see there's 4 pages of heartache from disappointed users here and no official response. Says a lot! Too busy doing share buy backs to be bothered?

Sorry that you had to go through this frustration as well, and still no response or fix from Apple.
How is this not fixed yeeet
I have the same problem too if a video is over 1 minute it can't be saved. What's going on??
Apple products are now crap… that’s the answer… every machine I’ve bought since 2011 had been a major dud. I have a 2009 iMac still running!
This is really frustrating. Buying a new macbook pro created so many problems for me in almost every area of work. Apple continues to disappoint more and more... what a bummer.
Has anyone been able to fix this ?
Hi, I started experiencing the same issue. Tried every single thing in the book, still nothing. macOs Ventura. Any updates?
Still no fix for photo booth? I am continuing to have this issue.
Same issue with everyone else here!
Using a 2021 MBP M1, Monterey 12.6, built-in camera.
I recorded a few videos ranging from a few minutes to 40ish minutes, only one of they were showing up as 00:00 (image same as others). Super annoying as I really need the video, but cannot tell how to avoid this from happening! It doesn't happen every time but when it happens, there doesn't seem to be any way to tell during recording...During the recording it was all normal and I clicked stop (all pretty normally), and then it was corrupted when I checked the video.
I'm suspecting that one way to work around this issue is to 1. keep the laptop always plugged in and 2. make sure the screen doesn't go to sleep (not so sure...because my other videos were fine even when the screen went to sleep).
Need to hear Apple's solution!
Photo booth videos are saving as corrupted/blank files.
