How do I import AVCHD from my Panasonic Camara to iMovie '11?

How do I import AVCHD from my Panasonic Camara to iMovie '11?
I know i did it once and for the life of me I cannot remember how! I do not remember getting any additional software... i am pretty sure iMovie '11 can do it on it's own. I have a Panasonic Camera that takes movies in AVCHD.
Looks like it is in a .MTS format. HELP! Please...

• connect device via usb
• set to on/play
• select in iM 'import from camera'

How do i import video from my sony cx130 to imovie

how do i import video from my sony cx130 to imovie?

Follow the steps below to troubleshoot if the computer does not recognize the USB connection from the camcorder.
Turn off the camcorder.
Ensure the USB cable is connected securely to the camcorder.
Ensure the other end of the USB cable is connected securely to the USB port on the computer. NOTE: Connection through a USB hub is not supported.
With the exception of the mouse, keyboard, and camcorder, remove any other USB connected devices from the computer.
Turn on the camcorder.
On the camcorder LCD screen, touch the computer or hard disk icon.
If the issue is still not resolved, connect the USB cable to a different USB port on the computer.
If the issue is still not resolved, try uninstalling and reinstalling the USB driver.
If the issue is still not resolved, test the USB port on the computer by connecting a different USB device.

How do I import videos from my Panasonic HDC-TM55 to my ipad3

Is it possible to import videos directly from my Panasonic HD video camera to my iPad 3?

iMovie iOS was made to edit video shot on the device.
It cannot edit video that cannot be imported into the camera roll, or photos app.
You will need to convert the video to the same format as the iPad shoots.

How do i import videos from my iPhoto to my iMovie?

All the compatible videos that you have in iPhoto should appear automatically in iMovie in an Event named "iPhoto Videos".
Each time you open iMovie, it will look for any new video clips in iPhoto. Thumbnails will be generated and placed in chronological order in the iPhoto Videos Event.
You can drag clips from the iPhoto Videos Event to the timeline of any project (new or established), just as you do with clips in other Events.
Note that no duplication occurs on the hard drive. The clip thumbnails in the iPhoto Videos Event are simply referenced (linked to) the actual video in the iPhoto app.
So, there is really no need to separately import the iPhoto video clips into iMovie - unless of course you have a particular reason to do this (such as for a better organisation of the clips).

Cannot import AVCHD from Sony SR-7 into iMovie 09

Well - looks like I join the ranks. I can no longer import HD format movies from my Sony SR-7 into IMovie 09 since I upgraded to version 8.0.5. Does anyone know what happened? iMovie 09 worked beautifully until the upgrade. I can import SD and digital photos just fine. iMovie 09 (8.0.5) no longer "sees" the HD files on the camera. I'd really appreciate some help here.

Hi sblackatc - and welcome to Discussions!
I have the same camera which works perfectly with iMovie '09 version 8.0.5
iMovie '09 will not recognise HD (AVCHD) footage if you also have SD (MPEG-2) footage on the camera. You must erase all SD video from the camera, after archiving/importing it to your Mac. The camera will then be able to see your HD video. See this Apple article:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1793
If this is not the problem try this:
After connecting to your Mac via USB, open the LCD monitor on the camera. It should show a menu page labelled "USB Select". On this menu touch the item labelled "Computer" with the hard disk icon (not the memory stick icon). The camera will then show that it is connecting with the computer. Wait a while for iMovie to connect and generate the thumbnails for each clip. You should then be able to import and/or archive all clips on the camera.
Hope this helps!

How do I import video from canon zr 500 to iMovie 2011?

Hello,
Thank you in advance for your help. I am trying to import a video from a a Canon zr500 to iMovie 2011 for a college course assignment and the camcorder is not being recognized when plugged in via firewire. Does anyone have any advice or suggestions as to how I could accomplish this as cheaply as possible? I am new to using a Mac so please don't be too technical in explanations.
Thank you,
Ben

Freezeframe-
Either a Thumb Drive or an SD card in the Camera Connection Kit adapter should work. However SFX is not a file type I'm familiar with.
How about [Volume name]\DCIS\[filename].[mp4]? The file name must be 8 characters plus suffix. It needs to look like it would if it had been recorded in the camera.
If that doesn't work, perhaps adding another folder will help. A card from a Canon camera has another folder named "102___12". That would make the path [Volume name]\DCIS\102___12\[filename].[mp4].
The more common way to transfer videos to the iPad is using iTunes that had previously synced with it. Select Movies under LIBRARY on the left side of the iTunes window. Then you should be able to drag the video file into that window. The video will be transfered the next time you sync. This way, the file name is not critical, as long as it has the correct suffix.

How do I import video from a Sony DSC-HX100V Camera into iPhoto

How do I import video from a Sony DSC-HX100V Camera into iPhoto? . . . i can see all the photos but the videos are not visable (I also connected the SD card with a USB Sony SD Card Reader - again only the photos are accessible - no video files are shown) . . .

If you're shooting AVCHD then you'll need to upgrade to iPhoto 11v9.3 to import this material.
A note on AVCHD: This format was developed for people who are shooting to edit the material afterwards. If you're shooting to edit, then iMovie or Final Cut are the correct home for this material. If you're not shooting to edit consider using one of the other video formats on your Camera.

Do you know how to copy a movie from a Panasonic NV-GS70 to an iMovie Project?

There is a link for an update for the USB driver here:

Other than that follow the directions for connecting it to a computer and in iMovie select Import
this should lead to a dialog for selecting clips for import.

How do I import movies from sony HDR PJ200

How do I import movies from sony HDR PJ200?

hi, if your movies are recorded in AVCHD formats, they are not supported by iMovie so far. So, to make the conversion seems to be the best choice now. Except the brorsoft suggested by emmalucky, Video Mate also fits your mac well. IMovie accepted video formats includs .DV, .MOV, .MPEG-4, .M4V、H.264, .AIC. So, you can convert your movies to above video formats. Hope this help.

How can i import contacts from another AIM account to this new one

If you reference my last ichat question, you will see that I have had serious problems and had to create a new account.
How can I import contacts from another AIM account to this new one??

Hi,
Use AIM for Mac and use the Export and Import features.
Other than that it is a question on making sure every Single Buddy has more than just their Screen name in the IChat Address Card so it is added to the Address Book and dragging them back from there

How do I import music from a flash drive that was formatted with a windows PC to my MacBook?

How do I import music from a flash drive that was formatted with a windows PC to my MacBook - the drive is showing it has over 3GB of info on it but none of the files are showing up in finder? I had backed up my iTunes library on the flash drive about a year and a half ago before I switched from a dell to a MacBook pro.

What I found works for me is to make sure iTunes keeps the music files organzied in the iTunes Media folder according to album, artists, etc. and that it copies the music files there when adding them to the library. That way, if something happens to the library, the raw files can always be re-imported again.

How can I import pictures from my iphone to PC which I imported to the iphone from another PC? The folder doesn't show on my computer. I see all other pictures I took with the phone but not the imported folder.

How can I import pictures from my iphone to PC which I imported to the iphone from another PC? The folder doesn't show on my computer. I see all other pictures I took with the phone but not the imported folder.

Photos that were synced from a computer won't show for copying to a computer. If you want to copy them back then you will need a third-party app on your phone such as Simple Transfer which can copy them off via your wifi network. But photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to a device, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer (e.g. their dimensions might be different and their colours may look a bit different).

How can i import contacts from a csv file to "iCloud Contacts"?

How can I import contacts from a csv file to "iCloud Contacts"?

The only way I know of to import cells from a csv file is by creating a new file. But then you can select the desired cells and copy them to the other file. I just did it to be sure it works.
1. Create the new spreadsheet file via the upload command.
2. Select the cells (table) that you want to move to the other file and press command+C (copy).
3. Close the new file and open the existing file.
4. Select the top/right cell of the area to receive the copied "table" and press commant+V (paste).
I hope this is what you're trying to do!
