How do I move videos i recorded off my digital camera to iMovie? !!!!!!!!!!

I hooked my digital that recorded said video, to my mac book but I can't find out how to move my video from my digital to iMovie please help!

Is your "digital camera" a still camera that happens to take movies as well? Or do you really have a DV camcorder? iMovie, Final Cut Express and Final Cut Pro only work directly with DV (or HDV). If you have a DV camcorder, you should be able to use iMovie to import your videos. If you have a still camera, you'll have to import your movies into iPhoto. Then, depending on the format your still camera saves the videos, you may or may not be able to import them into iMovie.

  • How do I use video's taking from a digital camera in IMovie as they don't appear on app?

    I have downloaded iMovies on my iPad 2 and also synced this with my laptop in which all photos and videos have been transferred over to it. My photos appear in the 'photo' folder and my videos appear in 'Video' folder. When I open the iMovie app it only shows my photos which means I am unable to use my videos to make a movie.

    I should note that the camera (both video and audio) show up as devices just fine in other Adobe CS apps (including FLME).  Does anyone have any insight as to how FLME gains access to the DV hardware?

  • No audio when files (recorded off of digital camera) were copied to iMovie

    I attempted to import video clips taken with my sure shot digital camera to iMovie. The video transfered just fine but there is no audio.
    I then uploaded all the video clips from the camera to iPhoto and when I opened those files thru iPhoto, quicktime plays the videos perfectly with audio.
    What am I doing wrong/what do I need to do so that these video files play audio when in iMovie?

    Hello 112969nole,
    the clips from your digital camera are likely to be in a muxed MPEG format. In order to edit them with iMovie you'll need to convert them to DV format.
    Find some more info in Dan Slagle's Unofficial iMovie FAQ:

  • How do i get video from my sony hx100 digital camera to my mac? after connecting the camera via the supplied usb cable, iMovie shows icons for 5 videos, but none will load.

    i've connected the camera to the mac using the supplied usb cable. imovie shows 5 icons for videos but all of them have the red circle with slash through them and the box to import them is grayed out.

    Get a nice Sony miniDV camcorder. It is not too expensive; it is small and easy to carry around to shoot your video. Most importantly, it will be instantly compatible with iMovie. You don't have to install any software, just connect it via FireWire (Sony calls this iLink) and you are good to go!
    I have had several Sonys and love them. You don't need one with fancy editing capabilities because you will edit your movies in iMovie. Just be sure that it has AV In and Out so you can import and export back to the camcorder.
    My current version is the small DCR HC-26. There are newer versions of that HC-30something and 40something. Look at the specs on Sony's website
    Some of them require the use of a dock to import and export. I am not really fond of that feature. I like just connecting directly to the camera.

  • How do you get photos off a digital camera and videos off a camcorder onto the iPad air?

    How do you get photos off a digital camera and videos off a camcorder onto the iPad air?

    You can use the camera connection kit.

    If your camera has an SD card
    or the lightening to USB for your videos

    (might also work for your camera)
    The photo part is rather self-explanatory. as long as your photos are in the right format and with the right naming convention they should import right over. The video may be a bit more tricky. So you may want to do some more research and make sure your camera records a format the iPad will import and whether or not you need an app such as iMovie

  • How can I move videos to computer without syncing

    Can anyone suggest how I can move video clips to my computer from the playbook which will not sync now that I have update the lastest software. They are too big to send in an email. When I tried to upload them to a youtube account, the file was rejected because the name looked like VD 000164.mp4. In edit mode in the video file I have the vast array of editting options: delete or cancel. I cannot change the name as it is uploading.. Any way to salvage this as a video camera?

    Personally, for this type large file transfer, I use the PlayBook's WiFi Sharing as described in the initial solution in this Knowledge Base article.

  • How can i move video and music and narration all at once in the project library

    how can i move video, narration and music all at once in the project library  it is only moving the video

    Select the directory with your pngs in it.
    Right-click>Browse with Adobe Bridge
    Select your pngs
    Tools>Photoshop>Load to photoshop layers (not sure how many layers this can handle--you may wind up having to do this in batches)
    Save your new psd
    In Flash, create a new symbol with a blank timeline
    Ctrl-R, navigate to the psd you made earlier
    Select all the Photoshop layers
    Check "create MovieClips for these layers."
    Convert layers to keyframes or flash layers (not important, since you probaby don't need to keep this symbol)
    OK
    You'll have Movie Clips, not Graphic Symbols, but maybe you can write or find a JSFL to convert them and then you can block select them, click the Properties button, and change the type from MovieClip to Graphc.

    How can I move Whatsapp or google photos from the camera roll to a different folder
    The only way to remove photos from the Camera roll is to delete them. You cannot move them directly from the Camera roll to another album.
    Sync the photos to your computer, remove them from iPhone and resync the photos to your iphone.

  • 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.

  • In v.11, how can I capture video but not audio from a camera?

    In v.11, how can I capture video but not audio from a camera?

    Rodney
    I see what you mean....Premiere Elements 10 appears to be the last version that had options for the user to select Capture Video and/or Audio in the its Capture Window.
    If you are doing DV data capture firewire into the Premiere Elements 11 Capture Windows and want a final file without audio and you cannot do this at the camera level, then consider....
    1. Do the Capture "to the Timeline" - video linked to audio result on the project's Video Track 1
    a. Right click the Timeline DV AVl and select Delete Audio and then edit accordingly.
    or
    b. Import the DV AVI but, when you go to export it, in the export settings, remove the check mark next to Audio so that the export contains only the video portion.
    Publish+Share/Computer/AVI with Presets = DV NTSC Standard
    Please let us know if any of that worked for you.
    Thank you.
