Downloading video from Sony to Premiere using i-link

I have a Sony Handycam TRV-480 ("Digital 8" camera.
I have a firewire card with 3 ports on my computer and I hook up my camera with one of these ports.
I close the windows app that fires up and starts premiere elements 10. Open a "project".
I select "Import Media" and the first camera type "DV video".
I start the camera and set it to playback mode.
In the window that opens I can occasionally (when I click "Import") see that the camera starts rolling the video but after a short while it all stops and I get a message that no video was sent to the PC.
I have looked through the camera manual and found nothing  in the terms of settings that I could change. I am very confused.
The firewire card is apparently working as is the cable.
Help!

  • How do you download video from sony camcorder to imovie

    how do you download video from sony camcorder to imovie. 

    First open up Imovie. Then plug the camcorder into the USB port. The computer will search for the camera. It will give a snapshot of what is on there. You can just click on CHECK ALL. It will begin to import. It will also tell you how long it will take. Once it is imported, click DONE. THEN, this is important, drag the snapshots into IMovie on the top to create a new project. You can also click on New Project and name it. When all the pics are in the movie, it will be saved. You can then edit it any way you want. I've done this many times on a Mac. My problem is the internal memory. I have to find out how to get the internal memory videos into my computer. Am currently researching it. BTW, importing from the memory stick is what I did above. Hope this helps.

  • Need help with conversion progrma for MTS video files.  Can't download videos from Sony TX-10 camera

    Have new macbook pro 13".  Can't download videos from our Sony TX-10 camera.  I understand I need some kind of conversion program for MTS video files.  Need recommendation for a good conversion program to convert the video files.
    Thanks, chieftd

    Well, sigh, that's not going to work.
    I love how I can do months of research to choose the best camera for my needs and budget, which is NO easy task these days, but surprisingly find it on the unsupported list when it's a very popular camera.  So, while it seems to support a whole bunch of other AVCHD options from Sony, not the NEX cameras.
    The NEX cameras are the latest generation of mirrorless cameras (which, ironically, are great b/c they give dSLR quality still images while actually producing HD video that always records silently and stays in focus b/c it's mirrorless).  The NEX 7 was just reviewed as Camera of the Year.
    Bleh. Oh well. Maybe someday.
    And, for anyone reading, Roxio Toast Titanium did convert it just fine but it took about 20 min or my time to set up a handful of clips and then a couple hours to complete converting them for the quality I was looking for.  One was about 10 minutes of a kids' performance on Christmas and it took a long time. It's just not feasible given how many video clips I do with the camera a week - well, feasible when you consider all the cameras where this would be seamless.
    Thanks for posting your reply - I appreciate it.

  • Downloading video from sony rx100 camera

  • How do I download video from my Sony Handycam recorder to my macbook pro ?

    How do I download video from my Sony Handcam Video Recorder (DCR-SX44) to my macbook pro, using imovie? Seems like it was meant to work with a PC (lots of info and a CD for PC use...instructions to contact Apple for macs!)  I've saved video to both the internal drive and a SDHC card, but having no luck...

    have you tried to follow advice given in the Manual?

  • I am having trouble with downloading videos from my Sony HDR-XR160 video camera. iMovie doesnt open up when i connect the camcorder. any suggesions?

    i am having trouble with downloading videos from my Sony HDR-XR160 video camera. iMovie doesnt open up when i connect the camcorder. any suggesions?

    Looking up your camera online, I found it is capable of 1920 x 1080 Full HD 60p Recording. It's the 60p (60 frames per second Progressive) that's the problem I think. iMovie '11 will do 60i (Interlaced). You might need to convert it from the format the camera currently uses into another format to get it into iMovie. Read more about it on this link here: How to import 60p footage From that message thread comes the recommendation to use ClipWrap to convert the camera's video clips now that they are in 60p:

    Use ClipWrap to rewrap to QuickTime. Import the files. Edit in either 59.94 or 29.97. The latter if you want to use the high frame rate for slomo

  • Can I use the new Apple Thunderbolt  to Firewire adapter to download video from a video camera by firewire to my Macbook Air ?

    Can I use the new Apple Thunderbolt  to Firewire adapter to download video from a video camera by firewire to my Macbook Air ?

    Yes, you can use the 85 watt adaptor. You cannot use the new adaptors because your computer is not equipped with the proper MagSafe connector. But you can use the older MBP adaptors as well as a 60 watt replacement adaptor. All can be found at Apple's Online Store.

  • How can I download videos from the web using Firefox?

    I have used Cometbird as my internet browser for almost a year, but a few friends told me that Firefox is better, so I downloaded Firefox to give it a try. Unfortunately, I am experiencing a problem -> I can find no option that allows me to download videos from websites, using Firefox. With Cometbird, when I'm on a website page that offers videos, all I have to do is right click and Cometbird automatically finds any available media and allows me to download it. With Firefox, when I right click, the only viable option is to, "save the page", which doesn't allow playback of the video after saving it. Confused, I went to a Firefox page that explained to me about "add-ons", and, after looking through some of the add-ons available, I downloaded one labeled, "download helper" and followed the tutorial exactly, yet still, I was not able to download any videos. This forces me to ask two questions -> #1) Why would Firefox make available an add-on labeled, "download helper" that doesn't download anything? ....... #2) Why would Firefox not include the option to download videos from websites? ------- The internet was invented for the sole purpose of sharing information; The only way to retrieve this information is to download it; The most popular form of information downloaded is videos; Yet, with Firefox, the ability to perform the most widely used method, of the most popular form of entertainment, is not included with its internet browser. This would be comparable to a grocery store not selling bread, milk or eggs. Please explain.......

    Some videos will allow downloading.
    I use Safari, and when I right-mouse click on some videos, there will be an option to download.
