Is Canon ZR950 compatible with iMovie HD 6.0.3

Sorry for the basic question but i want to be sure before i make this purchase from the Apple Store. The fact that the camcorder does not come with a firewire cable makes me more confused.
Thks.

If it is miniDV, you are good to go! Most manufacturers don't include the firewire cable, but the Apple store would likely have one to sell you. They can be had online for about $10.00.

  • I just discovered my videos from my Canon digital camera are not compatible with imovie or idvd so I need new software. Any ideas?

    Hi. I just discovered my videos from my Canon digital camera are not compatible with imovie or idvd (I'm very disappointed about that.) The photos are stored in my iphoto and I can burn a dvd using idvd but there is no audio So.... I need new software. I have a Mac OS X 10.5.8 and my digital still camera is the Canon Cybershot These are home movies of my kids and the viedeos are precious. Thanks in advance!

    Canon Cybershot
    I can't trace a camera of that name. All that comes up is either the Sony Cybershot or the Canon Powershot!
    Please confirm excactly what camera you have, and what version of iMovie.

  • Just bought a Canon Rebel T2i as a gift, not out of box yet.  Called apple before I bought it and they said it's compatible with iMovie 11.  Reading comments that people are having a difficult time getting iMovie to read files.  Any comments?

    I don't see the camera listed for any version of iMovie:

    That means that any videos you shoot will have to be imported into iPhoto and then moved to iMovie.

  • Does anyone know if the Sony hx50V camera is compatible with iMovie?

    Since I've had my iMac it has been hard finding a digital camera that has what I want and is compatible with my iMac.  I take lots of pictures and videos, especially at concerts and I have been through quite a few cameras and have not been satisfied with the results.  I have bought Panasonic brands and Canon because they were compatible with iMovie, but the pics and videos have been very disappointing.  For me it seems Sony cameras are the best but from past experience, some don't work with iMovie.  There is a new one that I would love to purchase, the Cybershot HX-50V.  It has great reviews and everything I am looking for in a camera.  But it doesn't specify if it will open the videos in iMovie.  If anyone has this camera, please let me know what you think of it and if it is compatible.  Or maybe some other suggestions.  I'm looking for a camera that is small and compact that has high zoom and good in low light.  Thanks for your help, I really appreciate it!

    The Cybershot HX50V uses SD or SDHC cards as well as Sony's proprietary cards, the MS duo. If using SD, you can remove the card from the camera and put it in the SD card slot in your iMac.
    The card will appear as a drive on your desktop (assuming you have Finder preferences set to show external disks on desktop).  You should then be able to import the files directly into iMovie.
    Here is some further info:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ph2153
    Before filming something important, experiment with file type settings to ensure your camera is recording in a format that iMovie will recognise.
    A general point about filming concerts (aside from the obvious ones about getting permission and ensuring copyright is not breached) - getting decent images (still or video) is difficult even with a really good camera. Lighting tends to be low so you end up having to use slow shutter speeds which means camera shake is a big problem - a good tripod (and a solid place to stand it) is essential.  Getting close enough to film is also a problem.  I have used a Canon SLR with top quality lenses (L series) wide angle and telephoto and with apertures up to f2 and still struggled to get images I am happy with. My photos tend to be of Brass Bands and these are comparatively well lit (when compared with rock concerts and the like).

  • Why is a video clip from iphoto not compatible with imovie?

    i have a video clip in iphoto and when i try to add it by dragging it into the videos in imovie, it says "the file will not be imported. it is not compatible with imovie". this video clip was taken with my friend's point and shoot type camera, then put on her computer, then put on a flash drive, then put on my computer. thank you so much for any help!

    Welcome to iMovie Discussions.
    Some "..point and shoot.." cameras create movies in an iMovie-compatible ".mov" format, but others create .avi files, or they record in the MPEG-1 format which iMovie can't unscramble.
    Not all point and shoot movies are compatible with iMovie, even if they play using Apple's QuickTime movie player which iPhoto relies on.
    These non-compatible movies need to be converted to .mov format, or some other compatible format such as DV or AIC, before trying to import them into iMovie. If you have QuickTime Pro, you can just open the movie clips and then use 'Export' to save them in the .mov format.
    ..More details from me - or others - later; I'm dashing out right now for a bite to eat..

  • External Drive not compatible with iMovie

    I just purchased a WD My Book 500gb drive to store home videos I'm editing in iMovie. The drive shows up in the event library with a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark in the center. If I try to drag events to the drive I get the following message "volume is not compatible with iMovie." I have searched the discussion board, but have only succeeded in totally confusing myself. I'm sure this is probably a simple matter, but I can't seem to untangle it... Please help.

  • JVC GZ-HM650 compatible with imovie '11?

    Is the JVC GZ-HM650 compatible with imovie '11?  I have tried Apple's camcorder compatibility list and it is not listed there.  This is a new arrival for JVC.

    try to connect the camera to Mac and use Import from Camera option to import AVCHD files to iMovie. 1080i and 1080 24/25p are able to work well with iMoive.
    however, if AVCHD mts footages are 1080 50/60p, then a converter is needed. iMovie doesn't accpet 50/60p avchd files. It will prompt that it is not supported media. See this guide about how to import avchd files to iMoive.

  • Imovie 5 compatible with iMovie 4 ?

    I lost iMovie 4 in the process of stupidly erasing my hard drive.
    Someone has given me a copy of iLife 5. Could someone pls tell me if iMovie 5 is compatible with iMovie 4 ? This iLife 5 does not include iDVD. The disk given to me is for systems without a Hard Drive.
    Thanks
    jc

    Thank you for feedback.
    I never bought iLife 04, it came installed in my OSX 10.3.0. However and unknow to me, iLife 04 must have been installed by the Apple retailer where I bought my computer from. My computer was delivered to me with the software fully installed; all I had to do was "switch-on" !
    When I re-installed OSX with the Install / restore supplied disks (3), I find that I have iiMovie 3 / iPhoto 2 / iDVD 3.
    iPhoto 2 does not want to open pictures I burnt onto a DVD disc using iPhoto 4; hence my research for an iLife 04 install disc which I can buy from eBay, but in meantime, an Apple engineer gave me a copy of install iLife 05 which he has in duplicate and can therefore spare one . He never spoke to me about such software not being able to be installed.
    Regards.

  • Panasonic HC V720 compatible with iMovie

    Can someone let me know if the Panasonic HC V720 camcorder is compatible with the latest version of iMovie. 

    If you are using iMovie with the lates version '11, you can know the answer from the site "http://help.apple.com/imovie/cameras/en/index.html"
    You will find Panasonic HC-V720 (Both PAL nad NTSC) is compatible with iMovie 11. But you should notice that iMovie does not support footage recorded in 1080-50p/60p from this Camcorder. You'd better avoid shooting videos in the formats.
    If you have got some these videos and wanna editing them for sharing, you can use FCP X, Adobe, Sony Vegas, ect NLE's to work with1080-50p/60p recordings, or you can convert MTS to iMovie's native format (AIC) before importing to iMovie.
