How do I import movies from my PC to Imove

How do I get my pc video to iMovie for editing?

If you are on iTunes 11 on your computer then you can re-enable the left-hand sidebar via View > Show Sidebar (control-S), which should make it look similar to how it used to look - if you then select the iPad on that sidebar do you then get a Photos tab on the right-hand side ?

Can anyone help me figure out how to use my new LaCie external hard drive to import movies from my camcorder into imovie '09? I ran into so many problems last night!! Was up way past my bedtime!

I'll stay in this chat ... I answered in the other one ... I have a Sony digital Handycam ... from years ago. I just got the LaCie and I think I formatted it for only to be used on my Mac ... how should I go about reformatting it to be HFS Extended like you said?

Looks like it records in AVI format at 25 fps. I think that should import to iMovie OK - if not it should import to iPhoto and then be available in the iMovie Events Library under "iPhoto Videos". Importing shouldn't be a problem based on this extract from the web page:
"The glasses can be hooked directly to a PC with the supplied USB cable to view the video, or when using the Micro SD card, it can be inserted into a card reader to watch footage."

EDIT: Also, see this point under Features: "Easy PC/Mac USB Connection (no driver needed)"

How do I import movies from sony HDR PJ200

How do I import movies from sony HDR PJ200?

hi, if your movies are recorded in AVCHD formats, they are not supported by iMovie so far. So, to make the conversion seems to be the best choice now. Except the brorsoft suggested by emmalucky, Video Mate also fits your mac well. IMovie accepted video formats includs .DV, .MOV, .MPEG-4, .M4V、H.264, .AIC. So, you can convert your movies to above video formats. Hope this help.

Sony TRV22E - CAN ONLY export the VIDEO material via a FireWire Cable (iLinc)
Then Your Mac need eiter

How do I import movies from camera?

Hi.
I have a Lumix FZ38 camera. Although iPhoto 6 does not recognise the make or model, it does at least let me import still photos.
But how do I import movies? They are in "Motion JPEG" format, but neither iPhoto, Quicktime or iMovie recognises them. I can navigate in Finder to a camera directory called PRIVATE where I can see the movies in a sub-folder, as .MTS files. How do I get them into iPhoto, or failing that, onto my Mac?
If I had chosen to record using AVCHD Lite they would be in H.264 and therefore not a problem, but the 'Quick Record' button which I use records in this other format.
(I'm not about to upgrade my hardware or software BTW, so please don't suggest that.)

You need to use iMovie for these movies, but there's a particular protocol needed for getting MTS >format material from your camera to the app. I have no idea if iMovie 6 supports it or not. Post on >the iMovie forum for more.
I will try - thanks.
iPhoto doesn't support AVCHD Lite which is a proprietary version of the AVCHD format peculiar to >Panasonic. I know that recent versions of iMovie do support this material. I have no idea if iMovie 6 >will, again post on the iMovie forum for more.
I thought H.264 was widely supported by Apple (e.g. on iPods etc)? The MacWorld reviews suggested this wouldn't a problem.
(I'm not about to upgrade my hardware or software BTW, so please don't suggest that.)
Well you may need to be realistic about the chances of software from 2006 supporting formats that >didn't even exist then.
I'm not being stubborn for the sake of it. My computer is a good balance of 2006 hardware and software. I'm not even sure that iLife '09 is compatible with a G5? And even if it was I'd barely use it (iTunes yes, but that's not iLife; Photoshop yes, ditto) so shelling out for it, just for a version of iPhoto isn't an option really. I just want a way to replay my movies outside my camera, is all. H.264 was one of the reasons I bought that camera (I've read about that format for literally years in Mac magazines.)

How can I import movies from iTunes to iMovie?

I download video lectures from iTunes University to iTunes 10 and need to export them to iMovie 11 for editing. How can I do this?

I can't figure out how to import from iTunes into iMovie. I can select and view all movies in iTunes, but don't see any options for moving them to iMovie. Any suggestions?
Open iMovie '08, select the "Import Movies..." File menu option, navigate to where the movie is located on your hard drive and import it in the "Copy" mode. Alternatively, navigate to the file in the finder and "drop import" the file directly to a convenient named "event" in the open iMovie '08 application or "event" folder if the iMovie '08 application is not open.

How do i import movies from my iPad (movie cam) into final cut

I have imoported movies from the ipad into Iphoto. I couldn't get any videos to show up in the import browser from Ipad into Aperture. trying to import files directly from iphoto to final cut brings up an error message. exporting the videos from iphoto into another folder got them into final cut but the video doesnt play, the timeline just moves along a still image of the first frame of the video.

It's a bit confusing whether you are using iphoto or aperture as you mention both.
Are the movies still on your iPad? The best way to import would be to do it directly using FCPX. Attach the iPad, fire up FCPX, and import from camera (command-I). You should then see your clips that exist on the iPad and should be able to import them to an Event.

Why I cannot import movies from my camera to iMovie?

I have an iMac with Mac OS X 10.7.5 and I'm trying to download some movies from my Canon PowerShot SX210IS. To download movies I am using iMovie 09 Version 8.06.
When I click on the "Open Camera Import Window" it only shows one alternative as shown below.
It shows "Built-in iSight" and there is no other alternative to select my camera ...
How can I make iMovie to show my camera in the down arrow so I can select it and download my movies?
Your advise and recommendation will be appreciated very much.

Hello AppleMan1958:
Thanks a lot for your answer, but this is exactly what I am doing and what it does is showing my own picture from the camcorder in my computer. I don't have any alternatives to directly import my movies from my camera.
I have received answer from Klondike Kid and gave me the possible cause of my problems. iMovie does not recognize digital still cameras as "movie" cameras. I will have to use an external USB card reader in order to import directly from iMovie.
Again, thanks a lot for your answer.

How do i import movies from my sony camera into iphoto?

When I imported my photos from my sony cybershot into iphoto my videos did not come along with them. I've been using a canon with canon image browser until now and never had this problem. HELP!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Launch Image Capture, located in the Applications folder, connect the camera and manually upload the movie files to a folder on the desktop. Then import into iPhoto.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

How do I import movies from a DVD into iTunes?

I have a movie that I'd like to load into iTunes and watch on my iPod. How do I do that?

If it is a home movie, then convert it to a compatible file type and drag into itunes.
If it is a commercial DVD ( you purchased it, like a movie or tv show), then it is illegal to break the encryption used to stop people from copying the dvd. Sorry.
