iMovie 8.0.6 doesn't recognize my iSight camera.

I have a Mid 2010 MacBook Pro running OS X 10.9.5;


iMovie 8.0.6 doesn't recognize my iSight camera. The iSight camera works on Skype, Photo Booth and FaceTime. I hadn't used iMovie in almost a year, however, the last time it recognized the iSight camera without a problem.


Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?


Thanks!

MacBook Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9.5)

rudsmac4me,



The article linked below details a potential solution that may help get iMovie to recognize your iSight camera.


In iMovie 7.1.2 or later, you may not be able to use your built-in iSight camera to capture footage in iMovie. iMovie may not recognize the camera. This may occur even if you are able to activate the camera in other applications, such as iChat.
