Apple used to give out a free download of iMovie 6 (which would have worked perfectly) but it's beed removed since iLife 08 came out (http://www.macworld.com/article/138476/2009/01/goodbye_imovie6.html) Hope that helps a bit Jonh Josh,

You could just download imovieHD http://support.apple.com/downloads/iMovie_HD_6 It has a lot more effects than the new imovie, and is pretty much a better program. I tried it, and it seems to recognize camtwist as a different camera, you just need to make sure that you start camtwist before imovieHD. Hope that helped.

I haven't found a completely free way to capture CamTwist output without backing up to iMovie HD. But there are at least a couple of not-too-expensive alternatives. One is QuickTime Pro, which costs $30 (just for a license code to unlock the capabilities in the QuickTime you already have, gripe, gripe). Another is something called iCamShare. It's $15 shareware, so I tried it tonight, and it works just fine with CamTwist. It appears mainly aimed at families emailing short videos to each other and hence it's very limited, simple, and easy to use, but it supports a good number of output codecs. I don't have enough experience to really recommend it, but it is at least free to try, so for anybody else in my position it might be the closest you can get to free (at least from what I've been able to find).

The curious thing is that ooVoo has no problem seeing CamTwist as an alternative to iSight, but iMovie makes iSight the only option. Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but I start iMove and click the camera icon to bring up the import window, and at the bottom the drop-down list next to "Camera:" shows only "Built-in iSight." Is there some other place to specify a video source? I’m having the same problem using OS X version 10.5.4 with CamTwist 1.7 and iMovie 7.1.4 with the built-in iSight camera in my MacBook Pro.

The only problem is that I can't seem to get iMovie to recognize the comtwist camera. The only camera it's showing is the built-in iSight camera. What do I need to do to import with the camtwist camera? Thanks! Thanks for the advice here–this sounds great. The only problem is that I can’t seem to get iMovie to recognize the comtwist camera.
