Importing video on a MacBook Pro

Well, this is my first attempt to import video to my MacBook Pro and it's not going well. First off, no firewire port. Oops. Now what? iDVD says that no camera is attached. Of course it probably wouldn't recognize it going into the USB port, but now what do I do?
I have a 1TB external drive that takes firewire. Any way I can daisychain the two and import directly to the external drive?

So sorry. Trying to import into iMovieHD

  • Import video on newer macbook pro

    I have a Macbook pro that doesn't have a Firewire 400 input - only Thunderbolt, Firewire 800, and USB
    I'm trying to import video from my Canon video camera that has a 4 pin port.
    I tried a 4 pin to 9 pin cable, but no avail.
    Any ideas on how to import now from my camera?

    A 4 pin to 9 pin cable should work. Make sure your camera is plugged in to AC power (not batteries only).

    I was wondering if i could use the Apple DVI to Video Adapter to import videos from my camcorder that don't have usb or firewire but have a S-video. to my laptop? and import them to iMovie

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    If you mean without internet, then yes, providing it isn't a purchased video (The Apple TV may need to verify authorisation). If you mean without a network, then no.

  • Canon Vixia HF M301 camcorder cant download videos to my macbook pro with imovies 8.  I have read everything I can find, please help.  Josh

    I have a canon Vixia HF M301 camcorder and I can't get it to import videos to my Macbook Pro.  I have read and tried everything I can find and still no luck.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Lorcan96791,
    Please make sure that you are using Transfer Utility, which is a program that is made by Pixela Corporation.  It came with your camcorder along with another program called VideoBrowser.

  • Sony cybershot videos automatically import into iPhoto on MacBook Pro but not iPhoto on Mac Mini

    This is so weird.  I have iPhoto '11 vers 9.4.2 OS 10.7.5 running on both my MacBook Pro and my Mac Mini.  I can hook up the Sony cybershot and import all photos and videos into the MacBook Pro's iPhoto without any problems or special actions.  But the MacMini will only import the photos and never recognizes the videos even being there. 
    As a work around I can then drag the videos from the MacBook Pro's iPhoto window to the desktop, then turn on file sharing and pull them into iPhoto on the Mac Mini w/out any problems. 
    Info on the videos on the MacBook Pro's iPhoto: 1920x1080 H.264 29.97 fps
    Once those videos are dragged to the desktop it's a .mov and opens in Quicktime
    Info on the videos on the MacBook Pro's Desktop before file sharing to the Mac Mini:  Format: AVCHD 1080i60, 1440 x 1080 (1920 x 1080), Millions  16 bit Integer (Little Endian), Stereo (LR) 48kHz  29.97 fps  Data Rate: 83.1 Mbit/s
    What's going on here?  Is there some special codecs or something on the MacBook Pro iPhoto that the Mac Mini's Iphoto doens't have?  How can I fix this so my wife can import the videos straight to iPhoto on the Mac Mini like I'm able to do on my MacBook Pro?
    Thanks!

    Yes and no. It is my understanding that the most direct way will require attaching the script to each of the subfolders. However, the attaching of the script can be done using AppleScript. Those subfolders that are already in existence can have the scripts attached using the following script:
    click here to open this script in your editor<pre style="font-family: 'Monaco', 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; overflow:auto; color: #222; background: #DDD; padding: 0.2em; font-size: 10px; width:400px">property WatchedFolderName : "Camera Phone Images"
    property WatchedFolderPath : ((path to desktop) as text) & WatchedFolderName
    property ScriptName : "Subfolder detection.scpt"
    property ScriptPath : ((path to Folder Action scripts) as text) & ScriptName
    tell application "Finder"
    set target of window 1 to folder WatchedFolderPath
    set theSubFolders to folders of entire contents of target of window 1
    repeat with i from 1 to count of theSubFolders
    tell application "System Events"
    attach action to (item i of theSubFolders as string) using ScriptPath
    end tell
    end repeat
    end tell</pre>
    and subsequently added folders can be caught by adding a test for folders being added in the folder action script. I am working out the details on that one now.

  • 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.

  • HT201335 I want to watch an iTunes rental video on my MacBook Pro but stream the sound to my Airport Express linked speakers.  However re Airplay icon doesn't show up in iTunes when playing the rental video.  Is there a way around that?

    I want to watch an iTunes rental video on my MacBook Pro but AirPlay the audio to my AirPort Express linked speakers.  However the AirPlay icon isn't available when arching the rental video in iTunes.   Is there another way?  Do I need to but an AppleTV?  I don't own a TV, hence why I want to watch on my MacBook Pro.

    With or without an Apple TV you can't send video to one device and audio to another using AirPlay.

    Hey ther Caraaaaa,
    It sounds like you have some photos you have imported to your computer that you would like to sync to your phone. This article should help you navigate to, and configure photo syncing from iTunes to your device:

  • How do I record a video on my macBook Pro's webcam and upload it to YouTube?

    How do I record a video on my macBook Pro's webcam and upload it to YouTube?
    Many thanks.

    Your posted info shows you are using Mac OS X (10.5.8). With this Mac OS, you can use iMovie, Photo Booth, or optional QuickTime 7 Pro to record and save a QuickTime video.  (Be sure to save in a YouTube Supported file format.)
    Then follow the YouTube Help instructions for How to upload your saved videos.

  • Slow video refresh on Macbook Pro Retina 13"

    I installed 10.9 and was doing fine, apart from the known GMail issue (now solved). But it has been two days now that my Mac has slowed down on video refresh:
    (I use a second Apple Cinema Display 24" through Display Port, but it happens even if I unplug the second display)
    * when I change screen or call mission control, I can notice a drastic performance drop in the video transitions and the menubar flashes vigorously.
    * when fullscreen (for example in Safari) my menubar drops down very slowly and sluggishly.
    I reinstalled 10.9 from the recovery partition... but it had no effect. Anyone experiencing this issue?
    I haven't installed anything in the last two days. I might have updated the Flash plug-in, but I am pretty sure I did it a few days ago.

    Just checked the following solution. Works for me.
