Hi George -

The best place to start is: "What would you like to capture?"

It sounds like capture module is detecting both front & rear cameras, and you'd like to record using the front one (i.e. webcam). Once you've selected the device you want to use for capture, click on Settings in the lower right panel.

To capture, click the red record button... click it again when you want to stop. The captured video will be in the Output Content window (top right). The actual video is stored in your output folder.

From there, click on the Edit tab to work on it further.

Unfortunately, the windows in Capture are locked in place. Well - I can't find a way to modify them

Cheers - Tony
