IMovie '08 compatibility with upper end HD cameras?

Hi All,
I am looking to buy a more upper end HD camera for a project I am working on. I like working in iMovie '08 but cannot find the information from camera manufacturers or from apple about the following cameras and their compatibility with iMovie '08.
Cameras of interest:
Canon XL H1
Canon XH G1
Canon XH A1
Panasonic AG-HVX200
Thanks All for the help and yes I know I should be working in final cut
Tim

The problem arise from HD format.
Imovie 8 wants a Mac format. It don't accept a MS-DOS format.

  • IMovie 08 compatibility with Contour

    I have a brand new video recorder, Contour Roam, with microSD card. The format for this recorder is H.264 in .mov files. I'm using iMovie 08. With iMovie open and recorder connected (USB) and on, it is not recognized by iMovie. Files did load into iPhoto, but are greyed out when I try to export them to iMovie, and greyed out when I try to select them for import from iMovie. I've read iMovie does import H.264 formats; what's up?

    I am not sure if it will work or not.
    If it will, it would work this way.
    Make sure your camera is attached and you can navigate to it in the Finder. (Or at least that you have a card reader attached that can see the card)
    In iMovie, click Import/Movie and navigate to the h.264 file on your card.
    It has been a few years since I used iMovie 08, so the menu items may be labled slightly diffferently.

  • Compatability with Canon 60D SLR camera

  • Imovie 09 compatibility with firewires

    hello again, does imovie 09 not recognize firewire 9 to 4 pins or is it the camera that is the problem? the camera is a Panasonic NV-GS90 miniDV and my computer is a 10.6.6 macbook pro that i bought almost exactly one year ago. when i click import movie from camera a screen comes up but it is showing the built in isight. on the bottom left is a camera selection but the only choice is for the isight and not for the camera. however when i used a 6 to 4 pin firewire (which i don't currently have) on an older computer a 10.4 imac from about 4 years ago it works. when i did that it was because the 6 to 4 pins firewire didn't connect to this macbook pro, and now the 9 to 4 pins firewire doesn't connect to that imac. before i buy another 6 to 4 pins firewire, can someone confirm whether imovie isn't compatible with 9 to 4 pins firewire, or if imovie 09 isn't compatible with that camera, or if the camera isn't compatible with the firewire. thank you

    System profiler? It's a utility. Or Apple>About this Mac and click More Info.

  • IPhoto compatibility with Canon G 15 camera?

    Will iPhoto 9.5.1 take downloads from the Canon Powershot G 15 camera? If so, does anyone know if those photos can be imported into PhotoShop GS 15?

    Are you shooting RAW? The RAW format of Canon Powershot G15 is supported by Mavericks, and thus by iPhoto 9.5.1.
    See: OS X Mavericks: Supported digital camera RAW formats
    And JPEGs are usually compatible from any camera, if the card is readable by the Mac.

  • I've been using Elements 10 on my windows 7 machine editing RAW/NEF picture files taken with a Nikon D40X camera with no problems. I upgraded my camera to a Nikon DX7100 and can no longer load my RAW/NEF into elements 10. Is there a compatability problem

    I've been using Elements 10 on my windows 7 machine editing RAW/NEF picture files taken with a Nikon D40X camera with no problems. I upgraded my camera to a Nikon DX7100 and can no longer load my RAW/NEF into elements 10. Is there a compatability problem with my new camera? Will upgrading elements to a newqer version solve the problem?

    NEF's for the D7100 should work with the latest version PSE13

  • Is elements 8 compatable with camera raw 6.3

    i have a nikon d3100 and i use elements 8 which has camera raw 6.2 and i need camera raw 6.3 but ive heard its not compatable with elements 8, does this mean that the only option i have is to buy elements 9 or 10. cheers

    You have two alternatives:
    (1) Upgrade to PSE 10. (2) Download and install the free Adobe DNG converter to convert your NEF files to the Adobe Raw format and the files will open in all versions of PSE (keep your original NEF’s as backups and for use in Nikon software)
    Windows download click here DNG Converter 7.1
    Mac download click here DNG Converter 7.1
    You can convert a whole folder of NEF images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:

  • Problem with iTunes compatability with iMovie and iPhoto

    I purchased some music from the iTunes music store and wanted to use that music in a homemade DVD I made. I also have tried using the purchased music when I play a slideshow in iPhoto. In both instances, an error window popped up saying that I needed to launch iTunes and authorize the computer to play the song... Well I bougth the music on the same computer and it is authorized. I typed in the authorization anyways and then after that iMovie and iPhoto both pop up with an error saying that it can't use the file.
    Thinking it might just be one song file... I have tried this with many purchased song. I have had the same problem with all of the purchased songs I've tried.
    Are some purchased songs not compatable with the iLife applications? How can I fix this problem? I'm running iLife 05 and I have installed all of the updates, including the most recent...
    iTunes 6.0.2
    iPhoto 5.0.4
    iMovie HD 5.0.2

    Do you need to update Quicktime as well?

  • What cameras are compatable with the SD card accessory?

    Is there a list of cameras that are compatable with the SD card attachment?

    The camera Connection kit has two parts, one is the SD card reader. The SD Card Reader supports SD standards up to SDHC, miniSD and microSD with adapters, and MMC. SDXC is not supported.
    The second part is an attachable USB port. Most digital cameras with a USB cable should work with the iPad.

    yes
    However, if your Mac has only Firewire 800 ports, you need an adapter such as one of the following to connect your FW400 external iSight:
    • This Firewire 400-800 cable can work:  http://store.apple.com/us/product/H7041ZM/A (I use this one.)
    • Some report that this low-priced alternative cable works:

    • To use your iSight's FW400 6pin-6pin cable, you can use a 6pin-9pin adapter like one of these:

  • HT204368 I have a Contuor action camera, I can't import the software to my phone as it is not compatable with safari

    I have a contour action camera but I can't download the software to my phone as it is not compatable with Safari. Has anyone got a way to solve this problem?

    What model TC is this? How old and on what firmware?
    Do a full factory reset of the TC.. they do not like a change of setup.
    Remember changes to router require a power down of the modem for long periods.. maybe 30min maybe longer.

  • Hi, haven't used iMovie in years.  I shot some video with my cell phone camera (Samsung Galaxy S2).  When I tried to make a movie, the clips I downloaded played back sideways on iMovie.  Is there any way I an flip the video from horizontal to vertical?

    You actually want a vertical video??
    What would you show that on?!
    Rotating video or photos in iMovie 11:

    In earlier versions of iMovie you can also do this using Quicktime Pro 7:
    Open MOV file in QT Pro (QT 7.6.6)
    Window -> Show Movie Properties
    select "Video Track"
    select "Visual Settings" from lower window
    check "Preserve Aspect Ratio"
    Click on appropriate rotation icon (MOV rotates!)
    Click back on the open MOV in Player Window
    FILE -> Save
    You can also do this using TransformMovie, available here:
