Using your iSight web camera is a great way to record video into iMovie. You may not remember this, but there were two different types of iSight web cameras: internal and the discontinued external. The internal cameras are built into most Macbooks, iMacs and Cinema Displays. The external models can still be found at pretty hefty prices, but can then be added to the older machines or to machines without the camera built in.
