When opening the application the video is not selected. There is just a empty drop down box.

I would expect the following behaviour:

If none were detected, then the message "Welcome to StopGo, this is a animation creation software application that takes images from your camera and makes a movie from them. I can't seem to find a camera attached :( Can you check if there is one plugged in please ?"

If there is only one detected then it should be used.

If there is more than one detected then use one and display the message ""Welcome to StopGo, this is a animation creation software application that takes images from your camera and makes a movie from them. I found XX cameras you can change them by selecting the drop down over here" (with arrow to dropdown

An empty field seems wrong. I'll make sure there's some text there, regardless.

Defaulting to first video device found is more of a usability / UX issue. Deferring to @cyanidecupcake for comment.
