How do I download video from a camcorder to an imac?

I have a Canon Elura 65 camcorder that takes digital video and an imac OS X 10.6.7, and I want to download video that I've taken into imovie (not HD). However, I've connected the camcorder to the imac via usb cord, and the imac didn't register the camcorder. Then, I took out the memory card from the camcorder and inserted it into the imac slot; this one did register, but when I went into the card, it didn't have any of my video, only transitions and such, and one random video clip that I don't recognize. i really want portable versions of these videos; what now?

You could try Image Capture to find your device without removing the card:
With Image Capture you can set the default app to download; select the destination; choose to delete after import; import some or all and so on.

    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.

  • How do I download videos from iPhone 4s to my iMac hard drive?

    Great lens on 4s but this is my first iPhone, and when I plug it in to iMac it does not recognize it as a separate device, which is what happens when I connect a camera. So how do I get video/photos downloaded so i can edit in imovie etc ...  and also (reverse question) how do I upload address book to the iPhone. ITunes recognizes device and I can transfer music/podcasts to phone ....  iPhone btw is IOS 5.0.1 if that matters.
    All advice greatly appreciated.

    Never mind ... just opened up iPhoto and they were already sitting there, waiting to be downloaded.... so simple I didn't know.....

    How can I transfer the video to my iMac?
    Is the "Video Capture" from Elgato the best way, or is there something easier?

    Did your camera ome with a FireWire or USB cord?  It should have some sort of output port.

    If so, you import the videos from the Camera Roll with iPhoto or with the Image Capture application. iPhoto is available to select photos and videos from with iMovie.

    How can I download videos from youtube with may MacBook Pro? I cannot download with real player. So how can I do it?

    There are two apps that I know of - and I would also swear that they come from the same developer, although they've different names. Both have free trials and both cost $40 (but both do 'other' video conversion as well).
    One is WonderShare - I bought this one and it works very well for downloading YouTube videos as well as converting just about any file format you can think of.
    The other is iSkysoft Video Converter (just noticed that it's now $36).
    I tried them both and finally decided on WonderShare. Give them both a trial run and decide if you like either one enough to buy it. I don't know of any 'free' software that will allow you to download and convert YouTube videos, but perhaps someone else will come along and know of something...
    Good luck,
    Clinton

  • How do I download videos from my ipod onto itunes

    how do i download videos from my ipod onto itunes?

    If you are using iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.
    For all other non purchased music (your own CDs etc) try this method which works on some Windows PCs.
    Enable your iPod for disk use.
    See: iPod Disk Use.
    Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
    Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
    Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
    The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
    If this doesn't work (and it may not because officially it's not supposed to), check out the instructions/suggestions here.
    Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it can be messy.
    Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
    One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
    Another free program is Pod Player.
    SharePod is also freeware.

    How do I download videos from the internet to my MAC?

    You can use SnapZ Pro X, which will screen record with sound any animation on the monitor into a QuickTime file, but it's expensive.
    If you look for Add-ons for Firefox, there are some that download Flash and YouTube videos to a file on your machine.

    You Mac likely will come across sites and content that won't play in Quicktime, on your Mac or in your web browser unless you install additonal codecs

    How to install
    When you click a link, a download of the installer file occurs to your Downloads Folder usually located next to your Trash Can or in your Users Folder.
    Open the folder and double click (or File: Open) the download and icon can appear on your desktop which you open and inside is a installer package which you double click on to launch the installer.
    OS X will check the download to make sure you intended to start it and that it's not malware it knows about.
    Follow the installer instructions to install the software onto your computer and quit when finished.
    Some require the browsers to be closed first, others require the machine to be restarted to enable the software.
    Once the install is completed, remove any and all downloads from your Download folder, it's safer to keep this folder empty so you can keep track of what appears in there.
    Drive by downloads of malware can occur and reside in the Downloads folder, mixing in with files residing there and await your click to install.
