Issue with Photo Booth/iMovie

Hey Folks, this is my first post on the forum so first off thanks for having me!

I've recently acquired a 2017 iMac and have been doing some music/video recording and editing. While editing my latest project in iMovie (version 10.1.8) I've noticed that my video clips recorded with Photo Booth are slowing down over time. It's as if the video starts in sync with the audio but starts to drag as soon as 10 seconds into the song and gets further and further out of sync. I've done one other project on the new Mac and noticed this but it was much more subtle than it is now. The playback of the video alone seems ok in Quicktime but the issue becomes very apparent after importing the clip into iMovie once I try to sync to the audio (recorded in GarageBand).

Is there a setting I'm missing either in Photo Booth or in iMovie or am I simply trying to get photobooth/iMovie to do something that it is not capable of? I don't mind getting a camera if that fixes the issue I was just enjoying the convenience of using photobooth and having the files on my computer immediately.


Thanks in advance, Andrew.

Hi Andrew. A warm welcome to Mac-Forums.

Sorry it's taken a while to get a reply. I think that this might be that few of us take videos via Photo Booth? That includes me.

However, my impression - only that - is that videos captured in this way don't play well with iMovie.

See if the following links, mainly from Apple, and one other, help you in any way. Sorry I can't be of more assistance.
