Using iPhone 4 as video input for iMovie

Hey everyone,

I've been wondering if it is possible to set up an iPhone 4 as the video input source for iMovie 11 so I can see on the Mac's screen what I'm pointing to iPhone at; to make sure it is in focus, etc. I know it's possible to set up other video cameras but I don't seem to be able to get the iPhone to work this way.

Is it possible, or am I on to a loser here?

Macbook, Mac OS X (10.6.7), also iPhone 4

Not possible. iMovie does not import from iPhone in real time. It will most likely be faster than real time based on how fast your Mac is.

If you have a USB web cam or a FireWire tape DV cam, you may be able to do this. Thes importn in real time.
