Q: Won't recognize built in FaceTime camera

I recently updated my Mac and now iMovie and Skype no longer recognize the built in FaceTime camera. Is this a bug in the update or is there something I'm missing?

MacBook Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10)

Thanks for replying! I waited a couple of days and then an update popped up for iMovie which fixed it.
