How do I get video to IMovie from my dvd camcorder?

How do I get video from my Canon DVD  camcorder to Imovie?

Videos are presumably in the "Video" rather than "iTunes" directory; you should be able to just navigate around in that directory for the file you want rather than replacing the entire directory as that article suggests (in which case you'd want to omit the "moving the directory to the desktop" steps, and so forth).

    You can do this with a free app called MPEG Streamclip and a $20 quicktime component from Apple.

  • HT1349 how do you import video to Aperture from a dvd with a unix executable file

    how do you import video to Aperture or imovie from a dvd with a unix executable file?

    Allan's suggestion of using the iDisk will work but will fill up the iDisk unless you do housecleaning occasionally. Another, non Apple way would be to upload them to an account on Twango.com. It sort of like MyTube but for photos and videos and is more personal in nature. It's free (monthly uploads are limited to 250MB/mo) and others can easily pop into your public channel (individual sections of a person's account are called channels) and download whatever size you want. You can select the size of your uploads from full sized to 1600, 1024 or 640 pixels max. What I like about the site is that you can email photos to your account. Makes it rather easy. You can also add slideshows and a ticker tape type of display from Twango to web pages (they create the code to use for the channel you select) like this. It's not an Apple thing but I've found it's quick. May or may not be what you're looking for.
    Do you Twango?

  • How can I import video and sound from my sony camcorder?

    I have just bought the mac.  I'm struggling to import video AND sound from my Sony DCR-SR87 hard disk handycam camcorder.  From what I've read already, I ended up purchasing and downloading Quicktime MPEG2, and used the Utility MPEG Component Lion from downloaded MPEG Streaming 1.9.3b6 to enable video and sound to play on the computer directly from the camcorder.  The problem is that when I import these clips using iphoto (it pops up when I connect the camcorder), the sound does not accompany the video onto the computer.  I've hit something of a brick wall and would really appreciate any help.

    OK, according to
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3290
    your camera is supported by iMovie 9.  Perhaps the question is better asked in the iMovie forum.  Would you like me to ask a moderator to move the thread?

  • How do I get video/songs/pics FROM my iPod TO my computer?

    For example... I've got a video on my iPod that I purchased thru iTunes. After it downloaded to my videos folder, I synced it to my iPod. Then (accidentally) I deleted the file from my PC... in other words, it's only on my iPod. How do I copy it from my iPod back to my PC?
    THANKS! ~Jeremy

  • HT201335 how do you get video to come from amazon prime, I can get the sound but no video

    I have an ipad2 and am a amazon prime member, when trying to watch the movies on my TV I can get the audio but not sound, message on the screen tells me to disable the mirroring capability on my ipad2 which I cannot do because the feature to disable doesn't show anywhere.   Is there a solution?

    This is why I have a Roku 2 ( the 3 has problems).  I stream netflix and Amazon to any TV.

  • How to I import video to imovie from mini digital video cassettes without the camcorder?

    your only other option is, to pay a professional transfer service to 'copy' your tapes onto some drive ...

  • How do I get video from my iPhone to iMovie? The videos download to iPhoto, but are not "available" in iMovie when I select iPhoto in event library.

    How do I get video from my iPhone to iMovie? The videos download to iPhoto, but are not "available" in iMovie when I select iPhoto in event library.

    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 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!!!

    You can't edit a video out of iTunes.
    You would have to edit the video from the original film, either on your computer, or iPhone.

  • How can I get audio to play from my TV when using hdmi cable?  Video looks great, just no sound.

    How can I get audio to play from my TV when using hdmi cable?  Video looks great, just no sound.
    I've tried plugging the hdmi into the TV directly and the receiver.
    I get video every time.  HBO to Go , Xfinity, ABC, Youtube, etc...
    just no audio.  Any suggestions? 
    I've tried starting the apps then plugging in the hdmi cable.
    I never tried this before I upgraded to IOS 5.

    Claudiamil-
    I had not tried it with mine since upgrading to iOS 5, so I just did.  I'm using a small Vizio HDTV.  I did not try YouTube, but did try several videos and musical numbers.  In all cases there was sound, including stereo when the source had it.
    I assume you are getting sound from the iPad when the adapter is not connected, so the volume is not turned down.  Dah*veed's suggestion to reset may be what you need.

  • HT202853 I have many project made in move HD that are not updating to the new iMovie 10 on my new iMac.  Why is this not working as stated?  How do I get my projects back from backup after old iMac crashed?

    I have many projects made in imovie HD that are not updating to iMovie 10 on my new iMac.  Why is this not working as stated on the article HT202853?  How do I get my projects back from backup after old iMac crashed?

    According to:
    Update projects and events from previous versions of iMovie in iMovie (2014) - Apple Support
    you can update from iMovie versions 7, 8 and 9, but iMovie HD is iMovie 6.
    Maybe you can update in two steps, first from iMovie 6 to iMovie 7, 8 or 9 then to iMovie 10.

  • 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.
