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?

  • How do I download video from my Panasonic SDR H85 to my Macbook Pro running 10.8.3?

    I connect the camera to my macbook pro and iphoto recognizes and downloads a snapshot but only says downloding video. It does not progress past that point. Am I missing something? It shouldnt be this tricky!!

    You may have to use two adapters.

    Not entirely sure if it would work. Go to an Apple store and purchase the products. If they don't work you can bring them back within 30 days and get your money back. Basically you are converting Lightning to 30 PIN, then 30 PIN to composite video.

  • How do I download pictures from a disk to iPhotos on my MacBook Pro?

    I am working on an album for a friend whom sent me a disk of photos.  How do I download pictures from the disk to my iPhotos so I can then pick and choose which ones to print?  Thanks!  Cyndy

    From the iPhoto menu bar click File / Import to Library.
    Navigate to the disc icon, click Import.
    For printing, select a photo then go to File / Print.
    You can click Order Prints if you want Apple do the job for you.
    They do an excellent job.

  • How can I donwload photographs from my SONY Cyber-shot to my MacBook Pro? I have the connection cord

    I have filled the Memory Stick PRO on my SONY Cyber-Shot. The Memory Stick doesn't fit my MacBook Pro so I bought the cable to connect the camera and my machine. However, I can't find how to make the download work. [I am a novice at this.]

  • 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.

  • 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

    "It's vital to research your computer purchases before you make them ... especially when you spend so much money, you need to be sure it'll work with the devices that you already have."
    I agree with you...to a point. I knew my 13-inch aluminum had no firewire, but I had no idea Apple would leave me high and dry by creating a product that would not accept DV video by any means. That's like producing a computer without a headphone jack. It's unconscionable for a company that promotes easy video editing and creation as one of their primary selling points to put a product like this out there. I have iMovie and I can't even use it?? Who thought THAT was a good idea? I upgraded to Mac for a reason and I'm deeply disappointed.

    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 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.
