Imovie HD don't  detect camera

iMovie HD 6 does not detect camera and it does not capture
what I can do?
Sorry my misspelling, and thank youu!!

Please sit down, it's bad news!
If this is the one:
http://www.trustedreviews.com/camcorders/review/2007/09/15/Sony-HDR-SR8E-Camcord er/p1
then you will never get it to work with iMovie 5 or 6.
Connectivity options are comprehensive, too, including HDMI and component for attaching to HDTVs, plus A/V with composite and S-Video plus RCA audio for regular TVs. All of these are output only, however, so you won't be able to dub analogue sources to AVCHD. The HDMI connection is also a proprietary small socket, and no adapter is supplied.
It uses AVCHD's MPEG-4 H.264 AVC compression. Only iMovie 7 (Part of iLife 8) can accept that format, and do so via USB. But that format is not really intended for further editing.
So, either upgrade to iLife 8 or change the camera!

  • IMovie 09 stopped recognizing my cameras

    I've been using iMovie 09 with my two cameras Panasonic GF1 and Sony TX10. Recently iMovie stopped recognizing both cameras which it used to recognize properly. The problem occurs to both my iMac and MBP so I suspect that it was caused by some recent updates. As these cameras are shooting AVCHD which is not supported directly by iMovie, there is no way to import the MTS clips unless they are detected and imported from the camera.
    Anyone has similar experiences and knows how to fix it?
    Louis

    Very strange - the problems occured a few days ago and I tried reformatting different cards, the problems persist. However, it started to work again for my Panasonic (both from the card directly or from the image I created previously for the undetectable card. I have not done anything and not even rebooted my Mac). It still doesn't work for my Sony thought (neither from the card nor the disk image). Will buy a blank new card then try again.
    I'm thinking otherwise I would try out other softwares like Adobe Premiere Element which supports AVCHD editing and I don't need to maintain a large uncompressed video database.
    Any comments on using Premiere Element 10?
    Thanks for the tips anyway!

  • IMovie '08: Built-in iSight camera not recognized in Yosemite

    On this page
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/TS2472
    iMovie '08: Built-in iSight camera not recognized
    it says:
    In Finder, navigate to /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/
    Select the file com.apple.mio.VDCAssistant.plist and delete.
    Restart your system.
    You should now be able to use your iSight camera with iMovie.
    However, in Yosemite, it only has this file name
    com.apple.cmio.VDCAssistant.plist
    and I don't want to delete it as instructed without someone who knows telling me it won't hurt my newly installed and thus far working well OS 10.10.1, with iMovie 7.1.4 on my iMac 24 inch, Early 2008, 2.8 GHz Intel Dore 2 Duo, 2 GB 800 MHz DDR2  SDRAM.  It worked with Leopard, and I don't recall having to use the above mentioned support page.

    Contact Apple. I believe you have a hardware issue there if it's not showing up in your System profiler.

  • Third party software for imovie to enable Sony HD cameras to import footage

    Pretty much I bought a camera that won't work with my Mac unless I jump through hurdles to make it do so. (which is nice because I spent a crap ton of money on the camera) Apple support told me I had to find third party software and that they have no clue when an update for imovie would come out which allowed avchd to read on a mac. Please god let some one solve my problem for me. I'm not too technically savoy so if the answer is complex, dumb it down a little. I really don't want to have to return the camera. it's a sony Sr-1 pretty sweet little guy and the jerks at best buy said it would be compatible with mac.

    The answer is the same as in your original post:

    Folks..
    There was a post similar to this, but was lacking something that worked for me specifically. From the Apple site http://us.jawbone.com/pairingguide.aspx the following will pair the Jawbone (original at least) to the Iphone. I had similar problems with not being able to pair until I came across this:
    Apple iPhone
    _*Set the Jawbone to Pairing Mode._*
    For the Original Jawbone, press and hold down the Noise Shield button for at least three seconds until the LED Indicator Light flashes red.
    For the New Jawbone, press and hold down both the NoiseAssassin™ Button and the Talk Button for at least three seconds until the LED Indicator Light flashes red and white alternately.
    From the iPhone Home screen, touch Settings.
    Touch General.
    Touch Bluetooth.
    Turn Bluetooth on. (The iPhone will search for nearby Bluetooth devices.)
    Touch Jawbone on the list.
    Enter the PIN number "0000".
    Touch Connect.
    The Jawbone should now be paired with the iPhone.
    I hope this helps someone - it helped me.
    Thanks to all who posted before me.

  • How to export from iMovie back to my Sony camera ?

    HI,
    If anyone can help me I would be very lucky...
    I just bought a Sony HDR-HC9 Full HD 1080 mini DV camera.
    I have transfer (firewire) my records into my iMac via iMovie...and have cut some peaces to reduce the recorded time...etc...
    *Now I would like to transfer/export back from iMovie into the camera on the mini DV support.*
    Can anyone tell me how to proceed...? Or is it just unpossible or shall I buy another software ?
    Thanks in advance to all...
    Kind regards.
    Thweb

    Not possible in iMovie 08. This also from a very reliable source:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1507442&tstart=30
    You can do this though with iMovie HD6 and with a cam such as yours, you will most likely get better video quality in your end product and also have a better editing suite to work with, if you use HD6 instead of 08. iMovie HD6 was made to give the best results from High Def miniDV cams like yours. iMovie 08 uses single field processing of the video, which basically tosses out half of the video info in a frame.
    You can get a free download of iMovie HD6 at the Apple downloads site, if you don't already have it.

  • I created an iMovie using pictures from my camera roll, I exported the movie to the camera roll and then deleted all of the pictures. Now I can't get the movie to play. Did deleting the pictures cause my IMovie to disappear? How can I get my movie back?

  • How do I transfer imovie projects done on OS 10.4 to 10.8?

    My 2000 mac mini fried and I am now trying to transfer imovie projects done in OS 10.4 to Mountain Lion. The projects have the .imovieproj  tag and I can see the files in the finder but the new imovies won't let me select and open them.
    Help would be appreciated.
    Also, I have old idvd projects that I assume are now useless on the new maching, any thoughts?
    Thank you.

    Sorry, my mistake it was a 2005 mac mini not 2000, it just seems like forever.
