I movie won't import video from my sony xr150.  I can see the video in the window when I connect the camera but when I select import, I get the spinning circle of doom.

my brand new mac pro wont download movies on imovie.  I connect my sony XR150 and I can see the clips in the imovie window but when I select import, I get the spinning circle of doom.  Very disappointing.  I just moved from a PC because Mac's were supposed to be much better handling media.

If Image Capture can recognize your camera and allow you to upload the stills and videos to a folder on the Desktop that's what I would do.  Then you can import those files into iPhoto, FCP or iMovie as you want.

    I am trying to download a video from youtube.?
    I can see the video. I want to download it and save in my computer to see it again.
    I have download helper. While the 3 red,blue,and yellow sphere are turning, It gives me the choice of place to save,and when I click and choose desktop , for example, this message comes ."Conversion requires an external application that appears to be missing on your system. Configure conversion ?
    When I click on okay, another page comes, which says" converter and a box next to it . in the box is written FFMpeg. but I can change it to MEncoder. In another box, says configure conversion rules. When I click on it, nothing happen.Thanks for your help.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == I want to download a video from youtube

    No, this reply is not helpful. It simply generates this little gem:
    "This service requires the conversion feature to be enabled.
    Configure conversion ?"
    And the same clicking on buttons that makes nothing happen and going around in circles with the escape key.

    Not on an Apple device, no.
    Things are not the way popular movies and TV shows would have one believe.
    Apple goes to extremes to ensure your personal information remains protected, to a far greater extent than any other consumer product manufacturer on Earth.
    Your FaceTime videos, Messages, and everything else you do with your iPhone are as secure as your iCloud credentials.
    Anyone with your iCloud or Apple ID credentials has complete and unfettered access to everything associated with them, equal to that of your own, so keep them secure. Never divulge them to anyone you would not trust equally with your wallet, your girlfriend / boyfriend / spouse / child / Lamborghini etc.

  • How do I export video from a Canon Optura 30 camcorder to my iMac/ iMovies? I've tried a Firewire cable but imovies doesn't seem to recognise the camcorder.

    I've been trying to export video from my Canon Optura 30 camcorder to imovies with a firewire lead, however nothing happens and imovies doesn't semm to reconise the camcorder. Can anyone help please?

    Here is a compatibility chart for iMovie:
    http://help.apple.com/imovie/cameras/en/index.html?lang=en_US
    I did not see yours; however, as long as it has firewire, it should work. Did you read the instructions in both your camcorder manual and in iMovie on the steps needed?
    If you can't get it to work after following the steps, what format does it record in? Is it on a memory card? If so, it'd be easy: just use a USB card reader, plug it in and import your footage that way.

  • I have tried to laod the newest firefox 13. on my imac, 10.4.11. but after it down loads I get the firefox logo with a circle & white line over it, {?}

    once the download is complete I do NOT get the firefox logo. The logo that appears on my desk top is an alias.

    Unfortunately, Firefox 13 does not support Mac OS X 10.4. [[Firefox no longer works with Mac OS X 10.4 or PowerPC processors]]. The link I gave gives some possible solutions (as you have a PowerPC mac, you can't update your Operating System either unfortunately).

  • My computer is no longer allowing me to import video from my Sony HDR camera.

    My computer is no longer allowing me to import video from my Sony HDR camera.  I don't know if it is the operating system or the version of imovie or what.  I also have imovie 06 and I was always able to import into it and can no longer do that either.

    This is probably due to a similar issue to a browser redirect.

  • 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 video from my sony camcorder

    I need help importing video from a Sony handycam DCR-SX43 to my mac, driving me crazy

    You can use Image Capture located in your Applications folder.
    Connect the camera to your Mac.
    Launch Image Capture
    Select Image Capture from the pop up menu (bottom left corner of the iMage Capture window).
    At the bottom of the window click the pop up menu to select the folder where you want the videos stored.
    Select the Import or Import All button at the bottom of the Image Capture window.

  • Why can't I import videos from my Sony HDR-PJ710?

    I've read lots of literature that suggests importing the video files directly from the camera, but when I open the "Import from Camera" menue, the handycam isn't displayed. So basically I can't create an archive through FC, I can't simply drag and drop the .mts files into FC, I can't even acces the "PRIVATE" folder by double clicking on it in finder. I have to "Open Package Contents" to get down to the "STREAM" folder, but at that point, the path has been messed up anyways, so it's pointless as I undertand it. I just really don't want to convert every one of my video clips. FC should be capable of importing them, so I'm assuming that I'm doing something wrong. Is there a way to create a camera archive without going through FC, or somthing like that?
    Any help would be appreciated. Thanky!

    Copy the entire file structure intact to your computer and import from that.
