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 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 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.

  • How do I import video from digital8/hi8 to imovie?

    I have imovie 10.0.4, on a mac pro machine with mavericks.  I have a sony trv520 which is digital 8 and will read hi8 and output both over firewire.  I have a hi8 video tape. I try to import using imovie and it says, "no data from device" even though I can see the video in imovie playing from the trv520.  I can't find any answers on the forums so far.  This process used to work easily last time I tried a few years back.  Now there seems to be no solution.  I also tried it on a macbook pro and got the same results.
    I just want to easily import the videos into imovie.
    Has anybody solved this. I can't find any answers so far after looking on different forums for a few hours.
    Thanks,
    Dan

    I have imovie 10.0.4
    That's your problem..
    I have moved a lot of video from Hi8 and VCR videotapes.  There's a tad bit of work involved but once you acquire all the pieces you will get excellent results.
    Moreover, your final result should be a DVD. That way you will have something you can watch for the next 30 years.  You can certainly save the video in other ways too, but I would also see it through to a DVD.
    I use iMovie HD 06 with iDVD 09.
    Your workflow is editing DV clips and making DVDs, iMovie '06 is better suited. Your movie will arrive at iDVD in DV format, which is an ideal match for making a DVD: same resolution, same pixels, aspect ratio, and original quality.
    iMovie 06 and iDVD 09/11 is a 100% "lossless" combination and my DVD's look like they came from Hollywood!
    You will also need a A/D coverter. (Like the Grassvalley ADVC300)
    I've played around with countless other conversion systems, ranging in price from $79 to $399. Short verison, this is the ONLY unit to own. No dropped frames at all, even with questionable quality tapes, no jitter, great color, excellent sound quality. Zero setup with iMovie 06 and iDVD 09/11.
    This is a prosumer deck. The time code function is alone worth the price if you have old analog footage. Absolutely NO "Out Of Sync" audio.
    ADVC300 is for anyone who wants to do editing and is concerned about quality of color and speed, for the novice it is an incredible gizmo that will restore VHS tapes to a state close to the original fixing midtones, highlights and shadows on the fly. Not only can you simply convert analog to digital you can actually manipulate the signal going in (if you want to).
    Use Mac OS 10.6.8 if you can.  (Newer OSs will work also but you will have to control the ADVC300 manually.)
    A bit pricey but it WORKS.
    The ADVC300 has been discontinued by the manufacturer. The included software (which is not really necessary but does enhance performance) is not compatible with OS 10.7 or newer.  You can still find the ADVC300 for sale in a few outlets as well as eBay. It will sell between 50% and 100% ABOVE its retail price. Yes, it's that good.
    If you can’t find the ADVC300, use the Grassvalley ADVC110.
    Why use iMovie HD 06 ?  iMovie 09, 10, and 11 uses 'single field processing' meaning every other horizontal line of the video is thrown out, which reduces the sharpness of the footage. iMovie HD 06 uses ALL of the image to form the video.
    For maximum quality here is my procedure:  ADVC300 > iMovie 06 > iDVD 09/11.
    This may seem like more trouble than you want to go through.  However, I find the superior quality to be well worth it.

  • Can't import video from Sony DVR to iMovie 4

    Help please. I have been looking through the discussion threads and have found similar problems but haven't found a solution that works for me.
    I am connecting a Sony HC32 through iLink (firewire) to import a video into iMovie 4. iMovie recognizes the camera is connected and I can control the camera through the controls within iMovie, but the images never show on the screen. They only show in the view finder of the camera. The sony manual is no use, neither is their site.
    The camera is set to USB Stream (as was suggested by the sony manual). the other options are STD-USB and PictBridge. (which also didn't work)
    Additional helpful details.
    I recorded in SP mode
    I have powered off my mac (even unplugging from wall).
    I have unplugged the firewire and plugged it back in (both from camera and from mac.)
    I have verified the time/date are set on the camera
    I have even tried importing both from battery power and from AC adaptor.
    does anyone else have this camera? Am I missing a setting on the camera? this is my first video camera. I have a few still cameras and iPhoto is so easy! I figured iMovie would be just as simple.
    Thanks for your help.

    Hi Sue,
    I don't know exactly what did the trick but here's what I did and it works like a charm. (Just in case someone else runs into the same issue)
    I used the Garage Band reset.
    Video camera set to USB-PLY/EDT = USB STREAM (the other options are PictBridge and STD-USB and no way to select "null")
    Camera in the dock
    Firewire directly attached to iMac
    Firewire in dock (the only way to plug in)
    USB Streaming option on dock set to "Off"
    Camera powered by AC adaptor rather than battery.
    Open iMovie
    Turn on camera.
    I don't know if this is the only way it will work because I tried so many things (including turning the dock USB streaming on/off) but this seems to be the ticket for me so I am always going to follow this process.
    thanks again for your help and suggestions.

  • 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 import video from iPhone 3GS to iMovie'09?

    I've looked all over and tried import within iMovie but can't do it.
    I shot a short video on the phone.
    Want to edit in iMovie.
    How do I export from the phone or import from within iMovie?
    I know this must be simple -- I just can't figure it out.
    Thanks.
    sjh

    OK, solved it for my system.
    First, I did not have iPhoto opening up with the attachment of the phone. I do this deliberately because I don't use iPhoto -- I have an Adobe based workflow.
    Then, I found that another program that opened with the connection of the iPhone was interfering with the import into iPhoto. So I turned that program off.
    Finally I repaired permissions -- for no real reason.
    When all of this was done, it worked.

    Download MpegStreamclip, it's free.

    Drop the DVD or TS folder on it and export to another format.
    Also, this is the iOS version of iMovie (for iPhones and iPads) so you might want to look here from now on:

  • 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' ...
    as my ex-wife always and approx. 75% of all 'phone movie maker' do ...

  • How do i import video from my sony cx130 to imovie

    how do i import video from my sony cx130 to imovie?

    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.

  • 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.
