Imovie recognizes camcorder, but cannot import

Hi,
iMovie previously worked fine and I've completed several projects, but now its acting weird. When I plug in the camcorder, I only get a blue screen with the "camera connected" message. I can control the camcorder (play, ff, rew), but no video appears and I obviously cannot import. Anyone seen this? Has something gone corrupt or am I overlooking a silly thing?

Hi Mr. Breakit:
First-if your mac can control the camera but not see the video,
*Open Garageband
*Play a note or two
*Close Garageband
*Open iMovie
The camera should be recognized now.
If not, look here:

    I am trying to import aperture library from macbook to new imac the import window sees the external harddrive but does nt see library.  I can open library as a refernce library but cannot import onto hardrive as managable files 

    I may be misreading what you are trying to do but you don't import libraries via the import window. You use File->Import->Library..
    If this doesn't resolve your problem post back with more detail of what you are doing and what is happening.

  • IMovie recognizes camera, but no longer the clips

    Everything used to work perfectly: attach Sony Handycam HDR-XR520, iMovie recognizes camera, clips and simply import.
    Not anymore.
    Since last week iMovie sees the camera, but not the clips. They are there, but not visible in the Import-window.
    Not changed anything in the settings.
    Has anybody faced a similar issue also? What is the solution?
    Many thanks.

  • HT5653 the import photo button does not work!  so I see the photos but cannot import them?  Need help

    after connecting i5 to MAC my photos will show but cannot push import button to initiate.. This is first time it does that.  Need help to transfer and save my photos from my iphone

    Can you do it with Image Capture (in your Applications Folder)

  • When I plug in my sony hdd handycam to my mac it comes up on the desktop but will not appear in iMovies. Therefore I cannot import the video I want.

    It is very frustrating. It will not come up as an option in the 'import video' window. I can only import video that is recorded from the 'in built' camera on my computer. Any one know how I can overcome this?? I would really appreciate any help.

    it takes too long... and the computer (macbook air) gets very hot when I do that. it worked 2 weeks when i tried it but as it was new then, i wasn't paying attention at how or what I did to get it. So I know the camcorder is compatible etc. And I don't think I changed settings either. It is very strange. Thanks for the reply though.

  • Imovie recognises camcorder but no image/sound

    Hi there, I have an old SOny dcr-pc103e camcorder and am trying to get the video clips from dv tapes into iMovie via a firewire cable (4to6 on iMac or 4to9 on MAcbook pro). iMovie recognises the camcorder and controls it (play, stop, rewind...) but there's no sound or image playing, just the plain blue screen. I've been trying to find a solution for a few days now but in vain.
    I have iMovie 6HD, '08 (crashes though), '09, and '11. I also have Mountain Lion on both computers. 
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi
    The sympthome is scarry - as when I got this the faulth was a blown A/D-chip in this specific camera and a TRV-900E
    Yes the symptom was exactly same - I was able to control camera - Forward, etc - BUT no picture or audio.
    Expencive repair.
    But first read this
    NO CAMERA or A/D-box 
    Cable
    • Are You sure that You are using the FireWire Cable - USB-Cable will not work for miniDV tape Cameras
    FireWire - Sure not using the accompany USB-Cable but bought a 4-pin to 6-pin (or 9-pin) FW one ?
    • Test another FW-Cable very often the problem maker.
    Camera
    • Test Your Camera on another Mac so that DV-in still works OK
    • Toggle in iMovie pref. Play-back via Camera (on <-> off some times)
    • Some Cameras has a Menu where You must select DV-out to get it to work
    • Camera connected to "charger" (mains adaptor) - not just on battery
    • Camera set in Playback mode - NOT Recording mode
    Does Your Camera work on another Mac ?
    Sorry to say it is to easy to turn the 6-pin end of the FW-cable 180 deg wrong.
    This is lethal to the A/D-chip in the Camera = needs an expensive repair.
    (Hard to find out - else than import/export to another Mac ceased to work
    everything else is OK e.g. recording and playback to TV)
    A/D-box
    • Is the dip-switches set right ?
    • Set to same standard as recorded/editing e.g. NTSC 29.97fps or PAL 25fps
    • Try resetting it
    Connections
    • Daisy Chaining most often doesn’t work (some unique cases - it’s the only way that work (some Canon Cameras ?))
    Try to avoid connecting Camera <--> external HD <--> Mac but import directly to the Mac then move
    the Movie project to dedicated external hard disk.
    • FireWire-port - Can be re-setted by - Turn off Mac and disconnecting Mac from Mains/Power for 20-30 minutes
    External device’s (hard disk’s)
    • Should be FireWire as USB/USB2 performs badly and so does Airport or Net-work connected ones too.
    • MUST BE - Mac OS Extended formatted - UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange - DO NOT WORK for video due to 4Gb barrier.
    Mac
    • Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk ? Please specify the amount of free space.
    (Other hard disks don't count)
    I go for a minimum of 25Gb free space for 4x3 SD Video - and my guess is 5 times more for 16x9 HD ones
    after material is imported and edited. No Camera or A/D-box
    • GarageBands fix - Close iMovie, Open GarageBand, Play some notes, Close GB and iMove can now be OK
    • Does Your Mac have a FireWire Port
    • White MacBooks - don't
    • MacBook-Air - don't
    if not then a few Mac’s has a PCM-CIA slot and there are FW-Cards that makes a FW-port this way
    else - NO SOLUTION
    Only option as I get it is either
    • Use another Mac to Capture material (to an external USB2 - Mac OS Extended formatted hard disk - or -
    • Change to another Camera that can be used with Your Mac (no there are no miniDV tape Cameras that can)
    • If Your Mac-Book has a PCM-CIA Card place - then there are FW-port-Cards and then
    You can import via this - but I've not seen this on more modern Macs. My PowerBook G4
    has one and this FW-Card-port works greatly.
    SoftWare
    • Delete iMovie pref. file may help sometimes. I rather start a new account, log into this and have a re-try.
    • Any strange Plug-ins into QuickTime as Perian etc ? Remove and try again.
    • FileVault is off ? (hopefully)
    • Screen Saver - OFF
    • Energy Saver - OFF
    Using WHAT versions ? .
    • Mac OS - X.5.4 ?
    • QuickTime version ? (This is the heart in both iMovie and FinalCut)
    • iMovie’08 (7.1.?), 09 or 11 ?
    • iMovie HD 6 (6.0.4/3) ?
    Other ways to import Your miniDV tape
    • Use another Camera. There where tape play-back stations from SONY
    but they costed about 2-4 times a normal miniDV Camera.
    • If Your Camera works on another Mac. Make an iMovie movie project here and move it
    over to Your Mac via an external hard disk.
    (HAS TO BE   Mac OS Extended   formatted - USB/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange WILL NOT DO)
    (Should be a FireWire one - USB/USB2 performs badly)

    Hi Bengt W, I tried it all, but nothing worked. Your answer has been helpful insofar as all the different trials led to the conclusion that there was something wrong with my iMovie software. I therefore threw everything away and reinstalled iMovie from the HD. After that the exportation of DV videos (there has not been any problem with HDV videos) to my Sony camcorders worked properly as it did before. Thank you. LKN 1935
    from Karsten.
    in addition to Bengt's excellent '9 yards of advice' ..
    camera set to 'Play' , not rec/computer/etc.?
    camera not on battery, but power-line?
    did your Mac 'recognize' this camera before...?
    a technical check.
    connect camera, on, playback, fw-connected...
    click on the Blue Apple, upper left of your screen ..
    choose 'About . . / More . .
    under Firewire.. what do you read . . ?

    • FileVault - Secure that it’s turned off
    • Network storage - DOESN’T WORK
    • Where did You store/capture/import Your project ?
    External USB hard disk = Bad Choice / FireWire = Good
    If so it has to be Mac OS Extended formatted
    ----> UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange is NOT Working for VIDEO !
    mbolander
    Thanks for all your suggestions. What I learned is that I had a software problem. I had something called "Nikon Transfer" on my Mac that was recognizing my Canon camcorder as a still camera and was preventing iMovie from working properly. After un-installing Nikon Transfer and doing a reboot, everything worked great.
    I never liked the Nikon Transfer software anyway--I guess I'll get a cheap card reader and use that to transfer photos in the future.
    No Camera or bad import
    • USB hard disk
    • Network storage
    • File Vault is on

    The problem was the external backup hard drive that is connected, you need to disconnect the external drive before the mac can see the video camera.

    Maybe your problems is solved in the meantime, but for all others this might help as I had the same problem, also have the Sony HDR-HC7, but the 7e (Europe, PAL). I found this link today and it works perfectly
    //support.sony-europe.com/tutorials/dime/videotransfer/vtransfer.aspx site=odw_en_GB&sec=DVH&m=HDR-HC7E
    What I exactly did.- put camera in play mode - open guide - choose connection guide - choose comp./printer (where to transfer movie to) - select connection.- i-link (on my camera) but equal to firewire - OK - choose HDV - choose NO for conversion of i.link.
    Settings are shown then (VCR HDV/DV.- HDV and i.link-conv..- OFF), press OK, OK, END.
    Switch camera off. Connect firewire cable to camera & Mac. Switch camera on, in play/edit mode.
    Open i-movie, choose import from camera. On screen below the camera connection is shown.- DV (HDV). Now you can import, automatically or manually.
    This worked perfectly for me. Took me 2 days to find out. Could not find any clear thread explaining what I had to do on the camera and the manual was not clear either.

  • CD gets recognized but cannot import or play

    When a CD is placed in the CD/DVD drive, iTunes recognizes it and populates the track names, lengths, album art and everything. If I attempt to play the CD, iTunes will skip quickly from track to track, in order, but not play any of the songs. If I attempt to import the CD, iTunes will show that it completed the import (with the customary 'ding' and checkmark). It will show this instantly, with nowhere near enough time to actually import. The songs do not ever get added.
    Does anyone have a solution for this?
    The CD will readily play in Windows Media Player if I click on the drive so I do not believe there to be any problem with the hardware or drivers. Error correction on or off does not seem to matter.
    Please help!

    Here is someone else that had the same thing happen. Any info or help is appreciated.

  • Can watch movies in Quicktime, but cannot import or watch in iTunes

    Hello all,
    I'm currently on Windows 7 Ultimate (64) and using the current versions of both iTunes and Quicktime. I'm currently trying to import all of my movies so I can use watch them on my Apple Tv.
    Here's the catch: I was able to place a TV show in my library, but am unable to place movies. They are the same file extension. (.mp4)
    I can watch the files in Quicktime no problem, just cannot seem to get them into my iTunes. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
    Thanks!
    Chris

    Which I will do, but I still wish to understand why it would dump everything except for iTunes-specific purchases.  Is there some kind of coding in the files that expresses as coming from Apple, which any other music file does not have?  Also, some of this stuff I just don't have anymore, so if it is still hiding somewhere I don't see, or if it can be recovered somehow, that would be pretty cool, too.  Main question, though, is "WHY".

  • Deleted Frame, never closed iMovie, nor finalized, but cannot get it back....

    Help!!
    My wife was editing a project on iMove '11, and deleted the last frame, which was a picture, rolling credits and music, along with a dozen or so other frames, beginning with this, the last frame, and working back towards the beginning.  She never closed the program, not finalized anything, but when doing control Z to undo each detetion, they all came back, with the excepion of the very first one deleted, which would have been the last frame of the imovie project.
    How can we get that back?
    We have not closed iMovie, not done anything overtly to finalize the project.
    Please advise as to how to recover the rest of the movie, or if there is some way to quit the whole thing, such that it will revert back to the unedited complete version.
    Thank you!!

    I realize that, however, that would not solve, nor explain the fault found with iMovie, and would require one to basically keep an external drive attached to my macbook pro 24/7, while doing continuous and instan time machine backups.  There are many easier ways to prepare oneself in advance of these issues happening, which would be much less cumbersome than the above, however, my post was not about this, but about the functionality, or lac thereof, of iMovie, in this situation, and my attempt to see if I was missing some other avenue to recover (or undo) these changes.
    Clearly, had I made a copy of the project, and then worked with the copy, this issue would not have been anything more thn a minor inconvenience, so it's really our "fault" for being in this situation.
    What troubles me more than our own foolishness is Apple's continued stance that their products, be it hardware or software, never fail, and never have issues or bugs.  And that whatever is found on the internet, no matter how prevelant, is BS, most likely a "conspiracy" by some nefarious folks looking to sully the good name of Apple, and even more amazng is that none of the sr. technical advisors have "never heard of this", so I guess Apple must filter out anything negative on the internet, nor let them view these very forums.
    As are seemingly most photo and movie professionals I work with in California, I am so fed up with Apple that I am looking at going back to PC based systems, and Microsoft based software, to process our workflow.  Apple has clearly thrown the professionals under the bus, at least in my opinion.
    If anyone else has anything to offer, other than to use a back up copy of the project, in order to allow us to recover the deleted frame, I would appreciate it.  In the intermin, we will simply have to recreate it.
    Thank you to all who take the time to read and attempt to help us.
    And good luck in all your Apple related endeavors.....I hope your such problems are few and far between!

  • Upgraded to itouch 4thgen but cannot import previous playlist onto it

    Hello, I had an old ipod nano and upgraded to the itouch 4th gen. I have downloaded apps/music etc via itouch from iTunes easily however, although I can see my previous exstensive playlists from old ipod on computer/iTunes account but I just cannot get the music onto the new ipod, what am I doing wrong?? :-( I'm not a techno expert so can anyone help.

    Hi Nick,
    I just tried loading some WAV files from ProTools and they all seem to work fine for me. I tried a set of dual mono 24-bit, 48K WAV files and an interleaved, stereo 24-bit, 48K WAV file. These had all been bounced to disk using a ProTools 7.1 rig.
    If you drag the file onto the app itself or onto the Soundtrack Pro icon on the dock, you'll open that file in the audio waveform editor, not the multitrack.
    If you open Soundtrack Pro, by default it should come up with an empty multitrack project (unless you've changed the preferences). You should be able to use the Browser to navigate to your WAV files, and simply drag them onto a track on the multitrack timeline.
    I've just tried all of the operations that I'm describing with .WAV files from ProTools, and all is good. I'm using STP 1.1 on a MacBook Pro.
    I hope that helps.

  • Recognize Network, but Cannot Connect

    We recently changed the network name at my house. My ibook g4 still recognizes the network, but when I click on it to connect, it will not connect. It gives me a message box saying I can try again, but that does not seem to work. Any suggestions? Thanks.

    Are you using the right encryption for the network?
    Try repairing permissions and it'd be a good idea to update your OS to 10.4.11.
    (You can ethernet in to do that.)
    Also reboot everything, router, modem and computers and see if that works.

  • I have Imovie 11 installed but cannot find IDVD installed anywhere?

    Is Idvd part of Imovie11 or do I have to download Idvd separately?

    Hi
    You may have bought Your Mac just when Apple decided not to sell or deliver iDVD any more (to a hilarious frustration to most of us users).
    a. Apple do not sell it any more
    b. No it's not included in iLife11 any more (if downloaded from Apple)
    c. One can buy - secondhanded iLife11 boxed/DVD version still including iDVD but they are not so many and price is increasing
    Else
    If there is no iDVD on Your Mac (and it's not on newer Macs as Apple discarded it) then You need a program that can do this.
    Your Mac can burn CDs and DVDs - BUT DVD as Data-DVDs not as Video-DVDs - they need a program to be encoded and STRUCTURED as such.
    • iDVD is part of the boxed version of iLife'11 and can only be bought outside Apple as on Amazon and e-bay
    • DVD Studio pro - Part of FinalCut Studio Pro bundle - this to has expired and can only be bought second handed. (High price and tough learning Curve - but best ever done.)
    • Roxio Toast™ - Not as elegant as iDVD - but has many other positive additions (I like it as 10-Pro incl BD-component) (now version 11)
    • Burn - only free alternative I know of on internet. Very simple - Just for doing a plain Video-DVD
    Burn http://www.digital-digest.com/software/Burn.html
    only You can buy from Apple is
    • FinalCut Pro-X which also can burn to DVD but without any nice themes.
    AppleMan1958
    You can also buy Compressor from Apple for $50 US. It will also create DVD and BluRay but without the nice themes.
