Hello,

I recently bought the full version of Action! and was looking forward to the webcam feature it had to offer. But to my sadness, When I selected my webcam and selected always record, It did not show the recorded webcam in the video. The light on the webcam was on, Indicating that it is being used, but the video never showed up. When I selected preview in the webcam options, It showed up just fine there. I followed the tutorials on the website but no matter what I tried it did not work! :evil: The webcam is working great in every other program I have but just Action! Any help is very welcomed

- Thanks!

Try this:

1. Uninstall Action!
2. Press Start and then type "Regedit" in search and press Enter.
2. Go to the following path: HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Mirillis/
3. Remove Action! catalog.
4. Reboot your PC.
5. Do not run any additional applications. Turn off all aplications that may use video codecs (example: Windows Media Player).
6. Install Action! again. Make sure that your installer file comes from official website - www.mirillis.com.

If the issue is reoccurring then I suspect there is something wrong webcam/system configuration than Action.

The issue was caused by the curser present during recording feature. in the settings, if its turned off then the webcam will not work properly. if it is turned on (curser will be shown during recording) then the webcam will work properly. (Refer to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7aNeOptGhs) this video showed me how to fix it so yea easy step to take. so yea. hope that helps.
