Imovie 11 export to Canon HD video camera

I have created a a movie in imovie 11. I want to export the movie back to my camera so I can show it on my TV. It appears that the .mov file gets exported to the camera hard drive but when I try to find it on the camera it does not appear. Please help.

why dont you just hook your computer up to your TV? If you wanted to do it with your camera, you needed some cable connection, you should be able to do same with your computer. Find the inputs your TV has and the video output your computer has, and you should be able to run it that way, there are cables for about everything. You may beed to run the sound separately depending on how you run it out

    Hi Seusman,
    Sounds like you have cracked it.
    Framerates are detemined by what processor you have, with some adjustment on a chat by chat basis depending what the other person can manage.
    The Bitrate is controlled by what Connection Speed you have, The System Preference > Quicktime > Streaming tab setting and iChat > Preferences > Video section Bandwidth Setting, plus any adjustments to match who you are talking to.
    The up speed is more important than the Download speed when we are talking ADSL connections.
    Any spped test will tell you get about 80% of what the ISP says they sell you.
    iChat will use about 80% of what is left (depending on settings)
    It is somewhat lowered depending on the framerate your Mac can do and what other things yuo are asking the Procesor to do and how much RAM you have obviously can effect that as well.
    The framerates you quote are the same as mine.
    The bit rates if often what I see in iChat based on my 1Mb down /256K up service.

  • My Mac does not have a firewire port to hook up my Canon HD video camera.  How do I do it?

    I am trying to figure out how to hook my Canon HD video camera to my MacBook Pro, but there does not seem to be a firewire port on the computer.  How do I do this?

    If, as your tagline says, you have a late 2011 MacBook Pro then you do have a firewire port, it's marked with this symbol:
    You may need one of these:

  • I'm using a Canon HV20 video camera that uses digital tape. After importing to my Events Library in Final Cut X, there are some timecode breaks between clips resulting also in gaps between the clips. Is there a way to avoid this?

    Thanks Russ.  I'm a beginner but Lynda.com has a video on making an archive, so I'll follow her video to try this method.

  • IMovie wont' recognize my Canon Digital Video Camera

    When I hook up my Canon ZR70 MC digital video camera through my firewire port, iMovie doesn't recognize it even after I did the following:
    turned the camera on and off.
    took the tape in and out.
    restarted computer with the camera in.
    After speaking to Canon technical support, they've determined that since 'DV In' was blinking on the camcorder screen, there must be a problem with the firewire cable, the port, or I'd need a firewire update. I'm running OSX 10.4.5.
    Anybody had this problem before? I doubt it's the cable or the port because both are new. And I tried it on multiple computers. Please help.

    sstrickeler,
    First a few questions.
    Has the camera ever worked correctly?
    Are there any other FireWire devices attached to the computer?
    Is the camera running of battery power or A/C?
    Some other ideas in this thread:

  • IMovie exports sound but no video to camera

    iMovie 6.04 will and does export previous projects to my camera which I have already exported before but will not export my newer projects. I think it's because these newer projects were made with DV material that I extracted (converted) from a DVD in Toast and then brought into iMovie to edit and add music. They play fine on the computer although sometimes they stall and play with irregular movement. I have also exported them to DVD and Quicktime with no problem but the video will not export to my camera.
    I deleted the preference file many times and tried every other thing else I could think of over the course of a couple of days. Very frustrating. If anybody can figure this out, I would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks. Rich

    Hi 35Gb is OK
    I have Mac OS and iMovie on one hard disk. My project on another.
    The space for the project seems low though.
    1 hour movie takes 13-14Gb (SD 4x4 TV-video) (HD about 5 times more)
    To be able to edit it - calculate with about 4 times more.
    I only use StreamingDV from miniDV tape Camera and .aiff 16-bit 48kHz audio.
    From iTunes - Copy out as an Audio-CD .aiff and use this
    .mp3 - convert to .aiff

  • Canon Gl2 Video Camera Not Recognized with Firewire 800 Connection

    I have a late 2010 mac with 2.93 Ghz Intel Core i7 Processor with 12GB DDR3 running 10.8.2 OSX.  I have a Canon GL2 video camcorder with a MiniDV tape I am trying to download to my computer.  I am using a new 4pin to 9pin Rocketfish Firewire 800 cable. My computer is not recognizing the firewire input from the GL2.  As suggested with other support threads, I have tried to turn the mac and computer off and on, as well as check to see if the cable is working.  I have also tried both a trial version of Final Cut, and Imovie 09 which is loaded on my Mac, neither of which will recognize the camera.  I clicked on the System Information icon and looked at the Firewire 800 status which was:
    FireWire Bus:
    Warning: Unable to list FireWire devices.
    Maximum Speed: Up to 800 Mb/sec
    At least I know it recognized something.  I have also checked to make sure the Canon is set to DV-Out on the Menu.  Since I am unable to use a USB connector with MiniDV, would there be any other way to either A) Download the video to the computer, or B) get the Mac to recognize the source plugged into the Firewire?   Any help with this would be excellent.

    I believe that in order to be recognized, you have to start the process from within iMovie of Final Cut; as for your FW port, you can try these two different troubleshooting steps (may or may not work, but won't hurt):
    Reset SMC:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    PRAM:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
    It may that your FW port is defective; it that turns out to be the problem, I hope you purchased Applecare because those ports are an integral part of the logic board, so that would have to be replaced ($$$).
    Since your footage is on DV tapes, you do need the FW to transfer it or it will not work. One other (involved) way would be to transfer your footage to a DVD if you have a DVD recorder and then get it on the Mac from there.

  • I have a macbook pro and I want to use my canon digital video camera on yahoo chat.  When I sign on to chat and attempt to use a camera, the system automatically defaults to the built in camera on the notebook.  Can I override that default?

    You have 10.6 on that machine, I suggest you stick with it for performance, third party hardware and software reasons as long as possible.
    Consider 10.8 (not 10.7) when it's released, because 10.7 and 10.8 will require a new investment in software and newer third party hardware as it requires newer drivers the old machines won't have. (forced upgrade because of software, really nice of them)

  • Connected camcorder with firewire 800 to my mac to use iMovies, but iMovies doesn't recognize...why??? using a canon zr90 video camera.

    can anyone help?

    Not without knowing what operating system and version of iMovie you are using.  Then we can request this thread be moved to the forum where more people might be using what you are.

  • Exporting back on to video camera problem

    Hi there
    I am currently using Imovie 6 HD on my 17inch Macbook Pro. I have noticed recently that sometimes when I want to export a finished movie back onto my DV camera that the picture on Imovie will play properly on my laptop screen throughout, but when I also view this at the same time on my DV camera's screen,there are occasionally little breaks in the video, the screen might go blank for a few seconds and then return, it might pixelate etc. Mostly the footage will play fine, its just every so often (which makes it so much harder to find the fault) It happens erratically so I have to sit there and monitor the DV camera screen to see if it is backing up properly. This never used to happen, so I was wondering whether anyone has experienced this before. I thought it might be the DV camera, but these breaks etc dont occur when i originally load the movie from the camera to Imovie.
    I am using Lacie 500GB 7200 drives to store and play back the footage. Because the playback image in Imovie is fine, i dont think the drive is to blame for this problem.
    Any help would be wonderful
    Daniel

    Hello Daniel,
    is the camera daisy-chained? if so try connecting it directly to your mac.
    I am using Lacie 500GB 7200 drives to store and play back the footage.
    Do you have the iMovie project on the external drive? If so try moving it to your start-up disk. That might solve your problem.
    You could also try a different firewire cable, but it doesn't really appear to be the culprit - either it works or it doesn't.
    hope this helps

  • Do clips need to be rendered before exporting project to video camera?

    I am in the process of exporting an Imovie project back to my video camera for storage on a tape. When I start the export process I get a message that says clips need to be rendered prior to exporting. When I click the button to render clips Imovie goes through the process of rendering the clips and after several minutes the Imovie project starts to export to the camera and runs for about 2 seconds and the Imovie quits.
    Imovie also gives the option of not rendering the clips.
    Do i need to render the clips before exporting them to my video camera?
    iMac4,1   Mac OS X (10.4.9)   Intel Core Duo, 1.83 GHz

    Does the project reside on an external drive? If so, make sure the drive uses the Mac OS Extended disk format, which iMovie requires.
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=4176921#4176921
    The crashes are most likely occurring because of external factors, not because of a flawed rendering routine. These can include the wrong disk format, QuickTime add-ons and obsolete iMovie plug-ins.

    Do i need to render the clips before exporting them to my video camera?
    It may depend on what type of clips they are. If they are photos imported with the Ken Burn checkbox turned OFF — which are not rendered as they are imported — iMovie will ask to render them. Do NOT allow iMovie to render the photos at this time for there's a bug that adds lots of jaggies to the images, reducing their quality.

  • Canon video camera & mac?

    We received a Canon FS200 video camera...when I plug it into the usb port my mac does not recognize it, & it doesn't appear as an import option in imovie...does Canon make any mac drivers or should we trade this camera in?

    OK, I had the same problem. Also the software update with Apple says that your software is up-to-date, but it really is no. Neither Apple or Canon was able to help me much, but I got it finally resolved. Canon does not make any special drivers - the Firewire / USB connection to the Mac becomes your driver. If your Canon camera shows "DV In" on the camera display then the camera is communicating with your computer. You need to "force" your computer in recognize the camera. Here is what you do: Create a new Admin User account on your Mac ( just call it "Temp" with the password "temp" for example) - Make sure to give it 'Admin Privileges' and set you computer to "Display login window as: "List of users" under the Login Options in the bottom left corner of you Accounts window. Then disconnect your Canon camera and all cables from your Mac and turn off the camera and your computer. OK, this is important! -- You MUST connect your Canon camera to its power supply (not just battery) and then turn it to "play mode" not recording, but you don't want to have it actually play anything, just turn your switch to the that 'on' position. Reconnect all your cables and turn on your computer. You will be prompted to log in your accounts - select the 'Temp" account and type in your password. The new login will force the software update and it will actually find a software update for iLife, even though your other login could never find one and you always received the message that your software was up-to-date. Go into iMovie as well and you will find your camera to be connected.

  • I want to use my macBook Pro 2,2 (mid 2007) to display video being fed from a Canon 5D video out into the vectorscope in Final Cut Pro 7.0.3.  Is it possible to input live video from another digital camera into the MacBookPro

    I know that the built in iSight camera records video.  I want to set up a Canon 5D video camera and feed the Canon's video output into the MacBook Pro so that I can use the vectorscope in Final Cut Pro to adjust the exposure of the Canon 5D.  Basically I don't want to buy a vectorscope to have on set to make sure the picture is properly exposed and color balance is correct. (In your response it doesn't have to be the full scenario I've described.  If you can just tell me if there's a way to feed live video into the MacBook and display it on the screen and possibly record it, then I'll figure out the rest.)

    Dear Ben,
    Thanks for your help. Apple and I dealt with this. It was an FCP, NOT Motion problem. As It seems you understand, we simply trashed my FCP prefs. Problem went right away.
    Thanks. Do you live near Hammond? Played in a rugby tournment down there once. I was transformed.

  • My imovie does not detect my Panasonic NV GS 35 video camera.

    Hi,
    I have recently bought an apple computer and tried to import video on imovie but imovie did not detect my video camera. i can upload video on my windows xp laptop so i know that all is ok with the camera and i can upload photos and video using my wife's digital photo camera so i know that other hardware is detected by my computer. I have also the correct fire wire cables which I bought from an apple dealer, who could not help me with this problem either.
    Do i need different drivers for an apple computer as the only ones that came with the panasonic camera are for windows? and if so where do i get it as i looked on the net unsuccessfully.
    Thanks
