most likely this is the problem.
Gem still uses QuickTime for accessing the video devices on OSX, and
afaik, yosemite has finally abandoned QT even on i386.

32 bit is pretty much done on OS X anyway.
 
so i think there are a number of possibilities:

- downgrade to some older version of OSX

No that easy, unless you have an older backup.
 
- convince (bribe, intimidate,...) someone with OSX knowledge and
reasonable ObjC/C++ knowledge to write an AVFoundation plugin for Gem

Yes.
 
- upgrade to an operating system that does not deprecate another core
component of their OS whenever they make a new release¹.

Quicktime has been deprecated since 10.7. We had plenty of warning.
 
¹ disclaimer: i love linux and probably are not un-biased.

Yes :D
