How do I get video from my iPhone into iMovie '09?

I have iMovie '09, iPhoto '11 and a March 2007 iMac running OS 10.6.8.
How do I get video off of my iPhone 5?
iPhoto '11 can't do it: "file could not be imported, file is in an unrecognizable format" and iMovie '09 doesn't even see the phone: "no camera found"
I understand this works with iMovie '11 so I think I should upgrade to that but the current version of iMovie '11 requires OS X and system requirements for OS X for iMac is "mid 2007 or newer"
I also tried using Image Capture which gets the files off the phone and stores them as .mov files which then can not be opened by iMovie '09 or Quicktime Player.
Thanks!!!

I haven't launched iMovie in a while, and I've used iPhoto to import many videos from my iPhone's Camera Roll since the last time I launched and used iMovie.
iMovie prompted me to create/update the thumbnails for my iPhoto videos, along with indicating no iPhoto videos will be available with iMovie until this is completed.
Not sure how to do this manually, but this may be your problem.

  • How do i resize videos from my iPhone into iMovie so that they are the correct width and height as a standard youtube is ????

    Hey guys i have recorded some videos on my iphone and i have synced them to my mac.
    i would now like to edit them using imovie, the only problem i have is that when i open them in imovie, quicktime, vlc etc etc, they all playback at the same width and height as the iphone screen.
    now is there any way using imovie that i would be able to resize the video to make it larger so that the video is the correct height and width of a video that you would see on youtube.
    If this makes sense and if there is anyway of doing please let me know as i have tried looking for a shortcut or a plug in everywhere and i just cant seem to do it.
    Thanks
    Sean.

    you probably recorded in 'portrait' orientation instead of videos standard 'landscape' ...

  • How do I import video from Sony TRV22E into iMovie ?

    How do I import video from Sony TRV22E into iMovie ?

    Hi
    Sony TRV22E - CAN ONLY export the VIDEO material via a FireWire Cable (iLinc)
    Then Your Mac need eiter
    - a FireWire port - or -
    - a Thunderbolt port
    if only Thunderbolt - Then You need a FireWire to Thunderbolt converter.
    The USB- can only copy over the Still photos You also cam take with Your Camera. Will NEVER work for Video Export.

  • How do I get photos from ios7 iphone into iPhoto or aperture on my OS 10.8 iMac

    Anyone know how to transfer photos from ios7 iphone into iPhoto or Aperture on my OS 10.8 iMac?

    Thx.  I thought that was what the various manuals were telling me to do but it wasn't working.  Your confirmation was useful in that it prompted me to double check (again) my usb connection (in its highly inconvenient location in the back of my iMac).  Voila.  "Always suspect operator error."

    I swear it used to do this, but now any video that I take with my iPhone 5S does not automatically sync with iPhoto like the photos do.  How do I get my videos off my phone and onto my MacBook Air?
    Thanks!

  • How do I import video from a dvd into iMovie '08?

    Does anyone know how to do this?? The movie that I'm trying to import was created in iMovie on another Mac.....I burnt the movie onto a DVD, and I'm trying to import it into iMovie on a new Mac.
    Any ideas or suggestions are very much appreciated!!

    DVDxDV, VisualHub and MPEG Streamclip (free but requires $20 Apple Quicktime MPG-2 component) are three possibilities

  • How do I get Video from vhs tape into Imavie HD?

    I am trying to back up some of my home movies from VHS tape to DVD. Is it possible to connect my vhs player to my mac? What kind of equipment do I need to do this inexpensively.
    Richard

    I don't think my camera has that connection. It's a JVC Mini DV camera- very inexpensive.I just purchased it recently. It has an Audio Video output connector, DC input, Digital Video Connector(DV in/out). Are there some inexpensive DVD/VHS combos available or am I better off with some sort of converter?

  • Video clips imported from an iPhone into iMovie ver 6 are rotated 90 degrees; how can I fix this or avoid it?

    Video clips imported from an iPhone into iMovie ver 6 are rotated 90 degrees; how can I fix this or avoid it?

    iMovie works best with uncompressed audio. If your track is MP3 or AAC, you may get better results by converting your track to the AIFF format and then using that in iMovie.
    You can do this in iTunes. Go to iTunes/Preferences and click the General button. On the General page, click the Import Settings button. Choose IMPORT USING: AIFF ENCODER.
    (note: remember what you changed it from so you can change it back later, before you import another CD)
    Now, in iTunes, select your track. Then click FILE/CREATE NEW VERSION/AIFF VERSION.

  • How do I get music from my iPhone 5 on to my new iMac?

    How do I get music from my iPhone 5 on to my new iMac?

    The iphone is not a backup/storage device.  It simply mirrors the selected content of the computer to which it is isynced.  The sync is oen way -  computer to iphone.  The only exception is itunes purchases. File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
    You should copy everything (files/docs/music/pics/contacts/calendars/etc) from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

  • How can I get videos from iTunes US, living in Switzerland?

    Hi guys =)
    I have already pre-ordered the iPod Touch and alomost can't wait until the 2nd October =P
    Well, I am a big fan of Dr House and Desperate Housewives. I saw that I cannot buy videos on the swiss iPod Store.
    I wanted to know how I could get videos from the US iTunes Store. Is that possible? And if it is do I need a credit card or a gift card?
    Hope it'll be clear enough... Usually I don't explain the things very clearly =P
    Thanks for your help

    Deggie - what is better fraud or theft? To get video content on my iPod Touch I'm going to have to resort to one or the other. Your ethical advice would be appreciated....I spent 500 EUR on this, now I want my money's worth.

  • How do i get videos from limewire to videora

    Ok how do i get videos from limewire to videora.
    Can someone explain to me
    that might be what im doin wrong

    First of all Limewire isnt illegal because it uses the money from the ads pay for the songs.
    Second Its really simple.
    After you download the video from limewire open up your videora iPod Converter.
    From there click on the "Convert" tab in the left display panel
    You will see a "Transcode New Video" button. Click on that and it should bring you to a folder of all your videos. If you dont see the video you want to convert then click on the dropdown arrow where it says "Files of Type" and select all files and choose from there
    Once you select your movie click open
    Then click the start button right near the "Transcode New Video" button
    Wail till your download is finished(this could take hours or seconds so be patient)
    Once your video is done being converted click the "Setup" tab to the left.
    Find where is says "Output Videos To" and copy the destination.
    Paste that destination in internet explore and it will bring you to the folder with the converted movies
    Bring into iTunes and enjoy
    Make sure you have the specific iPod Converter from Videora
    http://www.videora.com/en-us/Converter/iPod/download.php
    Lemme know if it doesnt work i will see if i can work with you
