Hey there photobooth universe! I am looking for a video booth 'solution'. I want to run the breeze video booth application, but without a screen, just one button, 30 seconds, and a timer that sounds with 5 seconds to go (as opposed to the visual progress bar.) I can do something similar with the photo booth function, using the wav files, but can see an immediately obvious way of doing this with the video booth function. You suggestions are appreciated.

so every video will have a nice beep that you can hear when there are 5 seconds left to go? customers will pause trying to figgure out what the noise is and then the video clip will end on them unexpectedly.

sorry but why would anyone want to do this?

sounds like a very poor user interface.

but if you really want to do it cover the computer screen with some duct tape and record your wave file, first 25 seconds is blank and make a beep noise.

Thanks Alexsiskahn, I think somewhere in there, you offered a helpful suggestion, to record a version that the screen in audio with an appropriate length pause. So thanks for that.

And since you asked, why anyone would want to do this? We use an alternative user interface that does not require a screen and at all. It works very well for us, and is a delight to our users.

Now, this is off topic Alexsiskahn, but you I would like you to know that I at least would appreciate it if you could please also be more gentle and considerate with your responses to peoples enquiries, including mine. I do notice your replies are frequently highly critical and come off as mean. Clearly you are very expert and experienced with the breeze system, and with photo booths in general, and you are very generous in this forum as well. You may find that the tone of your responses, particularly to the less initiated undermines the respect you clearly deserve.

I would welcome anyone else's comments or suggestions about the video booth audio issue I originally posted.
