Video capture software for Mac

I've found QuickTime Player quite annoying when I try to record myself with the FaceTime HD camera that's built into my MacBook Pro...

Is there an alternative that would do the job and offer a wider variety of options that QuickTime does?

Thanks in advance.

0	To record myself I prefer iMovie if I'm going to edit it, or Photo Booth if I'm not. Quicktime (as a recorder) is generally only good for screen recording in my experience. answered Aug 05 '11 at 23:31 RyGuy5320 1.3k●16●23●41

Screen flow is my favorite for screen casting and webcam capture (at the same time even). You can easily export the videos.

I'm sure he's looking for a free alternative instead of paying $100 for software that is definitely worth it, but not exactly what he's looking for.

You're right.

What's annoying about Quicktime?

You can record through iMovie, and you definitely have a wider amount of options with a video editor compared to a video player.
