Source node
Video In
Captures a live feed straight from your Mac's camera — the built-in FaceTime HD camera, an external USB webcam, or a Continuity Camera iPhone — with a device picker, a resolution choice, and a mirror toggle for when a front-facing camera reads reversed.

What it does
Video In is a source node: it makes a picture from nothing, so it sits at the start of a visual chain. It has no input and gives picture out, so it starts a chain.
Try it
Mirror the feed and route it through Feedback for an instant infinity-mirror selfie loop.
