here is the output of cheese -v:

looks like a broken gstreamer installation?
Comment 2 raindog7 2009-11-08 21:05:26 UTC
i have trouble with cheese... it won't let me see "preview" while i sign (yes, i am deaf though). it was total black than i played the movie. i can see myself but not as GREAT.. yes, i changed the numbers but still not working.. i was expected that cheese should be clear but no... that made me so frustrates. please solve this problem for me.thanks!

Felix, I can reproduce this one as well. As soon as you enable one of the effects, preview will appear, and any pictures you took will appear too.

Looks like a dupe of bug 596899
