CamooZ - Save & restore camera settings 7.4.2

Thanks for doing the test. CamooZ can only change camera settings if they are changeable, meaning the driver supports changing values like e.g. exposure or brightness via the DirectShow API.

Looks like your EOS does not provide that, hence the original dialog shows all greyed out, and CamooZ would not even list it.

Works as designed... :-)
OK, thanks - and too bad for me.

All of my desktop files got transferred to OneDrive and that messed with the Camooz settings. I have recovered my Saved Profiles but I am unable to find a way to import them into the Camooz program. Any ideas??

If I remember well from a previous case you can tell OneDrive that it should keep the folder

c:\users\YOURNAME\documents\camooz6

local.

Hope this helps

I ended up saving a new profile and found that folder and copied all the saved profiles from the OneDrive folder over to it and was able to utilize it that way.

Thanks for the response.

Update:
That didn't work after I shut my PC down and turned it back on. I ended up reinstalling Camooz and the profiles automatically loaded into the application.

Will the driver work on the Logitech PTZ pro 2 camera, which is on a USB connector?
Hi dawono,

I haven't played with that model, but you can figure it out eazily and for free. Just download CamooZ and try. All CamooZ functions will work in the non-paid version except saving to profiles - and any cam setting the driver supports (e.g. in the DirectShow camera dialog as provided by OBS) will be adjustable with CamooZ as well.

Only if all works to your liking, you may consider buying a license key ;-)

Cheers

When my PC loads (with Camzoo 7.4.2) the dialog appears on the screen instead of hiding in tray after start (as set below):

Are there registry settings I can check to make sure it is being set?

I started using Camooz today, and got some questions:
(1) I can change the order of sliders, and lock slider values, but only for the currently selected webcam. Any way to copy that to the other cams (I have 7 of them)? Maybe a toggle button "apply to all cams" where every action I do is applied to all cameras at once (locking sliders, moving them around...) for as long as that button is down?
(2) It takes many seconds when I change a slider, or load a profile, or change a camera, before the app responds again. It is frozen all that time. Is that normal, or is it my particular webcam (Anker C200)? For example, loading an existing profile takes 9 seconds. Using the DirectShow system dialog on the other hand works very smoothly.
(3) Is there a way to hide sliders that I don't want to see?
(4) A "stay on top" for the GUI window would be extremely useful, so that it can be above OBS at all times
(5) most of the time, the save button is disabled, even when I lock sliders or do other things that I was hoping to save in the profile. Somehow they are saved separately somewhere (this is an extension of my first question, I guess)?
(6) a "reset" action for each slider would be useful, where for example double clicking a slider would reload its value from the current profile.
(7) right-clicking the system tray icon pops up the menu, but it's behind Windows 11's extended system tray list window. One first needs to fold down the system tray list before one sees Camooz' full popup menu. The popup menu of OBS for example shows on top of the system tray list, not behind it.

I could go on, but the fact that every little thing I do takes so very long to take effect, definitely takes its toll on my enthusiasm... Even just starting the program takes around 30 seconds before the window finally has contents. Choosing a different camera takes 9 seconds. Etc.

Anyhow, thank you for the program, I'm sure everyone is very happy with it, but unfortunately at this point I'm not one of them :( I really hope so much that this speed problem can be fixed.
Hi @rdhoore108,

I have exactly the same issue (2) with my Anker PowerConf C200. Did you find a workaround with Camooz or settle with Serious Webcam Settings? I like Camooz for its StreamDeck integration but the delay is frustrating. Thanks in advance!

Hello! I have a bug to report, for some time my interface hasn't opened. It is as if it was minimized. I have been using it with the stream deck hotkey normally. But today I tried reinstalling it to fix it and it still does not open. I have tried unistalling and reinstalling, tried to force resize with the WindowsMover from BarRaider, but no luck. I have bought the paid version when it first came out

7.4.2 - When you contact our support...

This has happened only a few times, but there have been instances where an automated license key purchase resulted in an email from my side that the user either did not see or did not receive. Users should, of course, check their spam folder first.

If the email is not in the spam folder, and you need to contact camooz@faltinek.de, please ensure you provide an alternative method to reach you, such as a second email address or your phone number. Otherwise, if our email...

Hi, Thanks for this great piece of software. I've been a full version user for over a year now, saving settings for 9 cameras and its a game changer. I've recently encountered an issue with some camera's reverting to default camera settings after recalling the saved profile. I begin sessions by deactivating each camera and reactivating then recalling my saved profiles for each camera. during sessions the camera's (two of the nine specifically) randomly revert to their pre saved profile state. I'd appreciate any suggestions on what the issue could be and what to do to fix it.

I don't know if this is the place to ask about this, but I'm experiencing an odd issue with the plugin for Stream Deck. I have several webcams but one in particular seems to be causing issues and I don't know why. It's a very old Microsoft LifeCam from many, many years ago. I can set it up in Camooz just fine and I can save profiles for it and it works. But I can't use the Stream Deck to select its profile that I have set up for it. It just doesn't work. It works just fine for my other webcams like my Brio. So I know the plugin works in general.

Even more weirdness happens when I try to manually swap the profile on that old LifeCam. It works just fine when I do it manually, but then it makes the plugin stop working. It loses connection to Camooz and the drop down menu just says "Please start CamooZl.exe!" several times. So the plugin stops working entirely just by simply selecting this cam in CamooZ. Which means it's definitely throwing a fit specifically because of that webcam. Just wanted to clarify if this is just expected behaviour with old webcams or if there is something I'm doing wrong.

Hi Unmemorable Ham,
it is the right place ;-)

As much as it sounds like fingerpointing, I have encountered that some older webcam models cause issues. E.g.: In my code I check if a certain function is supported(e,g. changing the cam's exposure). Older drivers sometimes return TRUE and when I then try to read the current value, I get an error. I have invested a lot of effort into ensuring that CamooZ handles such errors, but I have to admit, that sometimes such a scenario can crash CamooZ. That's what it looks like when the streamdeck drop down menu says "Please start CamooZl.exe!"

I'm afraid I could only test this further if I had that exact camera, which I don't.

How important is ot for you to keep using it?

Cheers

3 issues.

#1 on reboot It shows me 2 cameras, it reads my usb as a camera and then the actual camera...so it doesent apply the defaults i need because of this as it tarts on the "usb 2.0 hd uvc webcam" instead of my emeet s600, so i have to manually click the other on login.

#2 even with saved profile it sets exposure to -5 and auto checkbox (my saved value is -4) every time i try to reduce it goes back to -5 after 1 second, then i open geoforce experience and it lets me deselect the checkbox and edit.

#3 - All the settings for hide in tray after start and send to try get unchecked on restart.

Hello,
The app is very good but I have a problem.
Every 10\15 min the setting come back to original and I need to close and open again Camooz in order to load again the profile.
How is it possible to solve this problem?
I also tried to use the "force" option, it's work but it crash after 1h.
I have the full version.

Thank you for who will help me!
Regards
Federico
