Does iMovie '09 work with a the Sony HDR-HC3E on a Macbook

I have a Macbook (2.2GHz Core 2 duo with 2Gb RAM), and someone has offered me a Sony HDR-HC3E camera. I have seen that there are various incompatibilities, but wondered if there was one with this combination.
Has anyone any experience with this hardware combination and achieved success?
Thanks

Hello, FulmerSR,
Welcome to the discussions!
I looked up some specs on the CanonZR 700 for you, and this is what is stated:
The Canon ZR700 does allow for audio dubbing, analog to digital pass-through/i]
so you should be fine with it. Set it up just as you described, and you should be able to import from VHS to iMovie easily.

Does iMovie 11 work with iDVD 6? - sharing issue

I recently upgraded from iMovie HD to iMovie 11 instead of purchasing the entire iLife 11 bundle in order to import AVCHD files from my Panasonic TM90. However, once I finished creating a project on iMovie 11 and shared it to my iDVD 6, the project would not show up in iDVD. iDVD does start up, but my project doesn't appear. iMovie 11, however, says that the import completes successfully and I can see it loading during the sharing process.
So I'm wondering if my iMovie 11 is incompatible with iDVD 6. I've thought about using my imported video files from iMovie 11 in iMovie HD instead, and attempting to share it to iDVD from there, but I'm wondering if there are better solutions.

It should work fine.
I use iMovie 06 with iDVD 11 all the time. I also have iMovie 11 but I don't use it very often.
There was a quality upgrade from iDVD 06 to iDVD 08 - 11, (and a quality downgrade from iMovie 06 to iMovie 08 - 11). I like to use iMovie 11 when sharing movies on the web but for making DVDs I get better quality with iMovie 06 and iDVD 11.
Starting with iDVD 08 an option called “professional quality” was added. If you're making DVDs I would purchase iDVD 11.
If you purchase on iLife 11 on disc, you will have the option of selling it in the future. Presently, iLife 06 sells for about double the price it cost new.

Does iMovie 06 Work with iLife 08

I have a PM G4, PM G5 (SP 1.8) and a PB G4 1.25. From what I have read, I am convinced that iMovie 08 will not install on any of my macs.
See this link:
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/imovieHD6.html
I'm curious to know if iMovie 06 will work with the various components of iLife 08. If so it would be worth it for me to purchase iLife 08 since I only do SD video, have no interest in HD video and that way I could use the iPhoto, iweb etc components of iLife 08 with iMovie 06.
If it dosen't work with the other components of iLife 08 then I'll not but it. I'll wait until after Leopard is out in October and then buy a new iMac with Leopard and iLife 08 installed. Also by then the bugs in iLife 08 should also be documented and even some updates released..
Anyone know?
Thanks,
Bob

Thanks Len and everyone who has provided input!!! I'm feeling much better that those of us who have older but still fine running macs with the ability to run leopard when it is released will still be able to use iLife 08 via iMovie 06.
Here is one final question before I mark this solved. I understand that when you install iLife 08 it leaves iMovie 06 intact. But does it upgrade the remaining components of iLife 06 to iLife 08? I have been in the habit of saving my current iLife suite as iLifeXX old and then doing an install of the new version of iLife. This way I would still have the old version to revert to and also have it available if I still had some old iMovie/iDVD projects that were still in the works.
It is very encouraging Len that you were able to successfully import an iMovie 06 project into iLife 08.
Just want to be sure before I do the install and all (except iMovie) of my iLife 06 apps have been replaced with iLife 08 apps.
Again, thanks for all the good news.

Will Premier Elements 10 work with 3D camera SONY HDR-TD20VE?

I'm going to buy 3D camera, but doubtfull that I could edit its movies with Premier Elements 10. Any suggestions?

In the meantime, I would investigate some other NLE programs.
While I have both versions of Adobe Premiere, I also have a few others, for specific tasks, which they handle better. No shame in that.
I could be wrong, but do not think that PrE 11 will have much, in the way of 3D, based on the recent release of PrPro CS 6, with no change in 3D. I had anticipated that there might be some improvements, over CS 5 and CS 5.5, but nothing changed. That can be a bit of a harbinger, for PrE, which is on a 12 mos. schedule, while PrPro is on about an 18 mos. schedule. HIstorically, features rather trickle up/down a bit, between those two programs, though because of the marjor differences between them, those are usually smaller features. For instance, PrE got full-AVCHD and VOB Import, before PrPro did. The features are usually fairly subtle, but can be "game-changers" for some users. Still, with no change from the PrPro/CineForm 3D in CS 6, tells me that not much new will be introduced in PrE 11, regarding 3D, unless it now incorporates the ability to use one of the less expensive CineForm 3D plug-ins?
Do check out Neale's recommendation for Corel. I have never used that program, but have seen it recommended fairly often. IIRC, that was the old Ulead video program, which was bought by Corel of Canada.
Good luck,
Hunt
PS - I have three friends, who are in the "business," and they were just at CES (Consumer Electronics Show), where new technologies, and equipment, are often introduced - just like NAB. Each recounted that other than a few more 3D offerings, not much new on that front. They are all still waiting for the "next" generation, to see if there is more consumer support for 3D. So far, it has not taken off, since the initial release. It is sort of like BD, where the consumer is just not rushing to embrace the new technology. Now, Sony did a great deal, in the design/implementation/development of BD, that have hurt the format. They attempted to make it difficult, to impossible for consumers to work with the format. Their goal was to ONLY sell the commercially available discs, and many with their films on them. DVD got a real leg up, many years ago, when any consumer could easily create a DVD-Video. DVD sales are still going very strong, if one figures in the age of the format, and it appears that rather than BD, consumers will go to streaming media, in HD, rather than BD. I am seeing fairly new BD releases going for US $8.00, or about the same price as the DVD-Video version. BD players are now down where DVD-Video players were 5 years ago. I wonder if 3D will ever fully catch on? Right now, my friends, who make a living selling home theaters, and such, are still on the side-lines, waiting. They have few clients, even thinking 3D for some significant home theaters.
Good luck, and happy research.

Does iMovie '09 work with 06 and 05 on your system?

Hello.
I've posted this in the '09 forum with no answer yet...
I have iMovie '05 and '06 on my system and am thinking of installing '09 but I do NOT want to lose the other versions I have. Basically cause I have LOT of plugins that are not compatible with '09. Will '09 install alright without overwriting the other versions? Will I still be able to access '05 and '06 alright?
Thanks much!
Mike

Thanks for the response...
Glad to hear that 06 wont be bothered but I have been using 05 with 10.5.8 with no problems. I must be one of the lucky ones...

Yes or No ... Does iMovie'11 work with LION ?

I've upgraded to it, but it can't even get it to import clips to start a project?! I also tried dragging clips to the Project Library. It won't open a project that I started in iMovieHD.
What I NEED to do is create a side by side video comparing old GoPro footage with the new GoPro2 and I believe I should be able to do this with iMovie'11

Hi

Does IMovie 11 support GPS importing from Sony HDR-XR550VE camcorder?

All files downloaded OK and no problems with projects etc. GPS is always enabled on the camcorder, however, IMovie dies not seem to recognise it. I have searched in help topics in IMovie 11 but cannot find anything in relation to 'places", "locations", "GPS" etc. Can someone assist? Thank you.

iMovie does not recognize GPS metadata. This is not a feature of iMovie.
The only place you can use GPS data is in the Maps feature, and you enter the coordinates yourself.

Does Motion 5 works with imovie?

I haven't any experience with Motion 5. I read it works with FCP. Does it also works with IMovie?

Thanks Nick.
Is Quick Time file the only option to export? Are there also othter export options?

I recently uploaded OSX 10.6.7 and ever since then, my Boris titler in FCP does not work with all the fonts, notably Avenir. It actually crashes FCP now. It was fine with the previous version. What's up Apple?

I know what your'e going through, Gary.   OSX 10.6.7 is an absolute disaster.   Since I upgraded, I've had problems in FCP, Logic, Garageband, even issue dealing with peripheral hardware like external monitors.
Before 10.6.7 my system was running fine.
I've brought this up with Apple repeatedly.   They smile and shrug.   They've been helpful resolving the issues, but none of them has been easy to solve. I have spent days, dealing back and forth with tech support, sending logs, etc., before solutions have been found.
I wish I could give you an answer to your question.   My only guess is that Apple has totally dropped the ball on this one.   In the future they should provide a disclaimer when they offer an upgrade. Something like:   "Caution: all of your software may not function after this upgrade. But go ahead, you'll feel cool that your OS is the latest thing."
As someone who has been with Apple for close to 25 years, I'm disturbed by what appears to be an increasing sloppiness in their work.   This is especially disturbing when you depend upon their system to make your living.
Good luck.

Does Flash Media Live Encoder work with all the blackmagic-Design Decklink Studio?

Does Flash Media Live Encoder work with all the Blackmagic-Design Decklink Studio?

Well, I have my XH A1 Canon video camera hooked up to Shuttle Thundbolt as composite and the thunderbolt to my Macbook Pro (Late 2011 - 2.4GHz, i7, 16GB Ram) and FLM 3.2 does not see my camera.
When I hook my same camera up to my Windows i7, 2.8Ghz, 8GB Ram using my "Hauppauge capture card" as composite it can see my camera.
I'm going to try a simple VHS tape deck and see if my macbook pro can see it using the Shuttle Thunderbolt. I'm going to guess and say it won't.
I installed the drivers as well.

Does time machine work with the trash folder?

Does time machine work with the trash folder? So if I have the entire aperture library backed up to the time machine. Is it safe to empty the trash folder in aperture? I am able to recover files from time machine later?

So make a top-level Project called "_Circular File". Put Images in there that you what to have out of your way but not discarded.
It really is good and proper to treat the Trash as trash. I instruct everyone to _empty_ the Aperture Trash at the end of _every_ session. The reason is this: it is the only time you will remember whether it is safe to delete the items in there. If you wait, you will then waste time trying to answer "Did I really mean to throw that out?" or, periodically, you'll give up trying to remember, and will empty the Trash without reviewing it. At the end of every session, examine the Trash, confirm that the items there are trash, and empty it.
Shocking, perhaps, but you should also empty your system trash every day. The real-life equivalents are good guides here. No-one in an office hoards their trash. If you mean to throw something out, throw it out. If you don't mean to throw it out, do not put it in the trash.
I don't know how TM handles the Aperture Trash. I do know, however, that I would not expect this behavior to remain consistent, and would absolutely recommend against a workflow based on it.

Does iMessage only work with the newest iPod Touch generation?

Does iMessage only work with the newest iPod Touch generation or does it work with older ones as well?

Any iPod Touch device that can be upgraded to iOS 5 will have iMessage. This means if you have a 3rd or 4th generation iPod Touch it will support iMessage.
