I Can Animate and I Can Present will work with a USB webcam (drivers should be installed if supplied with camera) or a firewire DV camera (you may need to purchase a firewire card for your computer). Cameras should be plugged in and switched to record mode in the case of DV cameras before launching either application.
More recent camcorders do no have a firewire port. The manufacturers no longer supply a live view feed through USB and we are therefore unable to control the capture of a picture. A few manufactures still have available fire wire DV cameras.
