Importing Video from HV20 to MAC OS 10.8.3

When attempting to import video and/or download software updates to my computer from the Canon website, I cannot get my computer to detect the camcorder.  It is connected with a USB cable and the camcorder is ON PLAY.  I have tried three different USB cables with the same result.  Any ideas?

Hi Joanz,
To transfer movies, your camcorder requires a firewire with a Special 4 pin connector (IEEE 1394 compliant) for the camcorder and a 4-pin or 6-pin connector to match the firewire port on your computer.  Please note:  A firewire to USB connector will not work.
If your computer lacks a firewire port, you may want to check with your computer manufacturer regarding the availability of a firewire expansion for your computer.

    Plug in to Mac, open iPhoto and import the video. From iPhoto you can then export it to another folder via Export.

    Have you launched and tired Image Capture? When it's launched with the iPad connected the photos will display in the window.  Select those you want to upload and use the Import to: menu and select Other.  Navigate to the Desktop and select the folder you created to hold those photos.

  • Importing Video from DVD to Edit in iMovie?

    I need to import video from a DVD to edit in iMovie. What's the best way to go about this?
    Thanks,

    DVDs are in a socalled delivery format (mpeg2), which isn't meant and made for any processing as editing...
    for using the iLife apps, you have to convert'em first, in recommended order, choose one of the following tools/workarounds:
    * DVDxDV (free trial, 25$, Pro: 90$)
    * Apple mpeg2 plugin (19$) + Streamclip (free)
    * Cinematize >60$
    * Mpeg2Works >25$ + Apple plug-in
    * Toast 6/7/8 allows converting to dv/insert dvd, hit apple-k
    * connect a miniDV Camcorder with analogue input to a DVD-player and transfer disk to tape/use as converter
    none of these apps override copyprotection mechanisms as on commercial dvds...

  • Imovie 09 How do I stop Imovie from auto importing video from iphoto

    Imovie 09 How do I stop Imovie from auto importing video from iphoto.
    Hi I've done a lot of searches on how to do this but no answers found.
    Imovie is beginning to become really slow because of the large number of video's. It takes 3 minutes to startup. Editing is sometimes slow lot's of spinning beach balls e.t.c.
    I would like to only import the video I want to edit and hopefully get a quicker Imovie in the process.
    My Iphoto library is about 95 Gbyte in size.
    My mac has 4 gb ram and I use the internal disk.
    Any other ways to work with Imovie/Iphoto are also welcome.
    regards

    I won't get iMovie 9 till Tuesday, but based on what you said I may need to take some precautions. One reason I didn't like iMovie 8 is because it automatically imported everything in iPhoto library. What I'm going to do is create a new iPhoto library before importing the photos/videos from the camera. Or if you already have it in your main iPhoto library copy only the photos you'll use in your iMovie 9 project to the new library. Then start iPhoto while pressing the option key which will allow you to select the new iPhoto library you have created. Then I suppose that when you start iMovie 9 it will automatically import only the photos/videos from the new library.

  • Importing video from tape??????

    How can I import video from a Hi8 tape into my mac for editing in iMovie.
    The camera is a Sony CCD-TRV608 with a USB plug NOT firewire
    Thanks

    iMovie will only import via Firewire. You need to borrow or otherwise obtain a Sony Digital-8 camcorder. These camcorders can read both digital and analog (like yours) 8-mm tapes and send them over Firewire. The results will not be as sharp as that from a digital camcorder, but it will be fine on a TV.

  • Importing video from Canon DSLR into time line in Premiere elements 10

    When I import video from the media files in premiere elements 10 on to the Time line,I get a message saying that the video is not a suitable format and do I want to change it to a suitable format or leave it as it is.If I go to change it then the video does not display on the editing monitor. How do I get round this?

    You're right it should work .... but in practice not always.
    You have the latest and greatest mac laptop but your camcorder is frankly a bit dated. So my suggestion is to give it the signal that it wants.
    You might want to try this little puppy:

    along with a standard 6 pin to 4 pin FW 400 cable. It might be choking on the faster FW 800. This is just a guess though.

  • Importing video from Sony 120GB HDD Camcorder

    Looking for help on importing video from Sony 120GB HDD Camcorder.
    I recently purchased a new imac (1st mac) and imported the stored video on my Sony 120GB HDD camcorder. I would estimate that this is approximately 60-80 GB worth of video on the camcorder but when I imported this has become over 800GB on my imac and basically fills the HD.
    My question is - is this normal or am I doing something wrong.
    Cheers

    Unfortunately the video from the current crop of High Def capable cameras use a really highly compressed file format to save video. The one most used is called AVCHD and it can really save a lot of space ON THE CAMERA if you like to shoot at the highest resolution. However to edit that video, it needs to be decompressed so that iMovie can preview it, and edit it accurately down to the individual video frame level (1/30th of a second). So the short answer is you're not doing anything wrong, those video clips can expand up to 40-75GBytes per hour of video after they are imported into the iMovie Events folders. However it is entirely possible to store the iMovie Events folders on an additional external hard drive. And that's usuallly the best solution for anyone quickly running out of space.

  • How do I import video from Sony TRV22E into iMovie ?

    How do I import video from Sony TRV22E into iMovie ?

    Hi
    Sony TRV22E - CAN ONLY export the VIDEO material via a FireWire Cable (iLinc)
    Then Your Mac need eiter
    - a FireWire port - or -
    - a Thunderbolt port
    if only Thunderbolt - Then You need a FireWire to Thunderbolt converter.
    The USB- can only copy over the Still photos You also cam take with Your Camera. Will NEVER work for Video Export.

  • How do i import video from JVC cam corder to my iMac?

    Im trying ti import videos from my JVC GR D240 EK camcorder. When i plug the usb in it doesnt even recognaise it. i have tried to open it in Imovie but had no luck?

    This is a mini-DV format camcorder. It will work with your Mac, but you need a Mac with a Firewire  port, and you need a Firewire Cable.
    Look in /About This Mac/More Info.../System Report/Hardware/Firewire to see if your Mac has Firewire and if so which type it has.
    Older Macs will have a Firewire 400 port. You need a 6 pin to 4 pin Firewire Cable.

    More recent Macs may have a Firewire 800 port. You need a 4 pin to 9 pin Firewire Cable.

    Some recent MacBooks are USB only. In this case you cannot import from the camera.
    Some recent iMacs and MacBook Pros have Thunderbolt but not Firewire. In this case you need a 4 pin to 9 pin Firewire Cable and an Apple Thunderbolt to Firewire Adapter.

  • How do i import video from my go pro to i movies

    How do I import video from my go pro hero 4 to I movies

    What model MacBook Pro do you have? On my late 2011, I used to use a Mini DisplayPort/Thunderbolt to HDMI adapter to get video and audio from my Mac to my television. I used this adapter from Monoprice. Worked great - I just no longer use it because I bought a 27" monitor.
    You can also use AirPlay mirroring if you've the right MBP and an Apple TV - but the wired method works, too.
