Panasonic PV GS 150 Compatability with imovie

I would like to know why my panasonic PV GS 150 Won't be recognized by imovie when it has IEEE1394 in/out?

Hi sloan,
welcome to this forum
are you sure, you used a fw cable? in box, you got a usb2 cable.... sometimes, you have to buy a 4-6pin fw cable extra (the shorter ones start at 3$)
it doesn't have to be to so nicely white, but look like this
and not like this collection of usb plugs....
and your camcorder has to be set to "play", read the manuals...

Problem with iTunes compatability with iMovie and iPhoto

I purchased some music from the iTunes music store and wanted to use that music in a homemade DVD I made. I also have tried using the purchased music when I play a slideshow in iPhoto. In both instances, an error window popped up saying that I needed to launch iTunes and authorize the computer to play the song... Well I bougth the music on the same computer and it is authorized. I typed in the authorization anyways and then after that iMovie and iPhoto both pop up with an error saying that it can't use the file.
Thinking it might just be one song file... I have tried this with many purchased song. I have had the same problem with all of the purchased songs I've tried.
Are some purchased songs not compatable with the iLife applications? How can I fix this problem? I'm running iLife 05 and I have installed all of the updates, including the most recent...
iTunes 6.0.2
iPhoto 5.0.4
iMovie HD 5.0.2

Do you need to update Quicktime as well?

Panasonic NV-EX3 now works with iMovie 2.1.1 on Intel Mac!

This has been a longstanding grumble - my perfectly good, but 8-yr-old Panasonic NV-EX3 DV-camcorder refused to connect with iMovie when I upgraded from my old eMac to my present Mac Mini.
I tried every trick I could think of to get the computer to see the cam, including copying the old iMovie 2 over, but it wouldn't run on the Mini even under Rosetta.
Anyway, I just tried it again, having upgraded to OS 10.5.6, and iMovie 2.1.1 ran fine, and immediately connected with the old camcorder.
I uploaded some video, saved it as a project, and was able to open the project with iMovie HD, so now I have a route to get video in, and the camcorder is reprieved.
I am posting it here in case anyone else has one of these old (but excellent) camcorders and wanted to keep using it.

Camcorders Compatable with iMovie '09

Good Day, All;
I'm in the market for a camcorder, and based on forums here and there I am steering away from Sony and JVC for some known problems communicating with iMovie.
As of now I have it narrowed down to a Panasonic HDCTM20K and a Cannon HF200. I see both claim to be good to go with iMovie '09, yet some people still seem to be having difficulties.
Any comments would be most appreciated.
Cheers.

In my experience, Sony, Panasonic and Canon are all solid choices.
I prefer the SDHC card models. Some people prefer the hard disk models. Stay away from models that record to DVD.
[Pick one off this list|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3290]
I will stay away from recommending specific models, because the last one I bought was 2 years ago.
If you see a lot of problems with Sony on the boards, that is probably an artifact of their huge market share rather than any inherent problem. In my experience, JVC and Samsung have been much more problematic, but they may be getting better.

Camcorder Compatibility with iMovie

I didn't really know where to post this, but i heard this type of computer is good for video editing, so . . .
I'm looking for a computer to use for only video editing, I have a Hitachi dz hs300a camcorder, and i wanted to know if this type of camcorder is compadible with iMovie.

I drove an 80 mile round trip today to return a Sony SR45 30 gig camcorder because it would not operate with IMovie. I looked on the list from support.apple.com and decided to buy a Panasonic SDR-H60 while I was there. I will be making the 80 mile trip again in the morning to return this one now because it won't work with IMovie either. Frustration level has peaked. This should be such a simple process.

Canon Legria HF M406 Compatable with imovie?

Hi!
If someone could give me some basic advice it would be very useful. I am looking at buying an HD video camera and would like it to work as seemlessly as possible with apple and iMovie. Will iMovie import video directly from a Canon Legria HF M406? My other chioce of camera is the Panasonic HDC-SD90, and as far as a i know this works well with iMovie, am i correct?
Thanks in advance,
Nina.

Above is Apple's list of compatible camcorders. The HFM41 is listed, so your camcorder should work fine.
That is, if you have iMovie 11. It records in AVCHD so if you are using Imovie 06 there would be a problem. The panasonic is also a fine camcorder.
So both camcorders seem to be ok for iMovie 09-11.
You will, of course, need to make your decision based on cost and what you are using them for. I have found that for basic uploading to the web, say YouTube, any modern camcorder pretty much works.

Canon Legria HF20 - Compatibility with iMovie

I have just ordered a Canon Legria HF20 camcorder. However, I have a concern.
I just checked Apple's offical list of iMovie 09 compatible camcorders, and the PAL version isn't listed as a compatible camcorder. However, the NTSC version is, which is called the Cannon Vixia HF20. I am not sure if the reason why the PAL version isn't listed is just because they haven't got around to testing it.
Can anyone confirm whether the HF20 works with iMovie? Am I safe to assume that if the NTSC version is compatible, then the PAL version will also be compatible

Will a canon Ixus 100 IS be compatable with iMovie? will it be in HD?

Hi I am thinking about buying a Canon Ixus 100 IS camera and use the movie mode to shoot clips to use in imove. Will they be compatable?
The camera records in HD so will they play in High Definition?
Thanks Matt

Am I likely to see a speed increase in accessing the Airport Disk from the AppleTV/Mini if it were to be 'n' enabled.
Yes
In other words does the fact that other Macs require a 'g' network mean that access speeds for ALL Macs is reduced to the 'lowest' level?
No not the lowest level, but using 802.11g devices on an 802.11n network does reduce the speed of n devices, but not down to g speeds.
From my tests.
Pure 802.11n - 802.11n speeds = 300Mbs
802.11n with b.g - 802.11n speeds = 130Mbs

USB compatibility with iMovie next version

Do you think, that Apple will developped an new iMovie version, USB compatible ?
New Tapeless camcorder like SAMSUNG VP, JVC Everio, have no FireWire connector !
Pensez-vous qu'Apple sorte une nouvelle version d'iMovie compatible avec le montage vidéo en USB ?
Etant donné la généralisation des prises USB, comme par exemple sur les camescopes à mémoire flash ou à disque dur comme les SAMSUNG VP, JVC Everio.(Pas de FireWire)

Hi
Don't think so. But You never know with Apple.
This is no place for at list of whishes for iM6,7,8,9,etc
But they are legions.

Canon Compatibility with iMovie and/or FCE

I recently purchased a Canon FS200, flash memory camcorder (standard def) and have some difficulties importing into iMovie (it recognizes and imports some clips but then decides to freeze-can't even force quit iMovie from that point) and FCE does not even recognize the device.
I am within the return period (purchased at Best Buy). Should I get out of this Canon situation altogether? Is there a DV brand that integrates more consistently with Apple?
I have all the updated hardware and software, processing power, and memory that are needed, so that is not the issue. I am just looking for some direction, or confirmation that this thing WILL work, I just need to keep at it.

Good, because I like the functionality of the camera, and the convenience of recording to flash media. I took a look at some possible differences between imported and non-imported files. I found only one thing, it is inconsistent. In my original attempt to import, approx. 8 of my files (clips) imported, and they ranged from 30 seconds to 8 minutes. The ninth one froze up. After a reboot (I had to resort to that) I was only able to import three files before a freeze. The fourth one (the one that had previously registered as imported) now froze. Both "freezing" culprit clips were of average size compared to the rest. I am not sure about audio settings because I do not adjust anything that complex when recording.
THEN, I tried to use FCE to import the same clips. FCE does not even detect my camera.
I did try to unplug all other external devices too. No luck.
I have never installed any drivers for the camera. It seemed to work for a little, before this freezing behavior. Is there typically software needed to simply import to a app like iMovie or FCE? I didn't think so, but really cannot think of another troubleshooting angle.

Sony DCR-TRV70 Compatibility with IMovie HD

When I bought the Sony DV camcorder it was on the comaptible list from Apple. It is not now. With the supplied USB cable my Imac / IMovie HD does not recognize the camera. Has anyone had luck connecting this camcorder to Imovie HD?

You need to buy a Firewire cable, 4-pin to 6-pin. Sony calls them i.Link. USB is just for stills.

Help With Panasonic DCM-LX1 RAW Compatibility with iPhoto

Can someone share their successful experience of importing RAW files into iPhoto from their Panasonic LX1? I posted this question earlier but all replies were lost somewhere in web Limbo when sent to my email. My Mac will import photo and video files from the LX1 in a JPEG & TIFF format but will not recognize and will not import photos shot in RAW, my personal format choice. Your help will be greatly appreciated.

I have the same camera so i checked out the raw images--sorry no spots show up.
