What happens when, after you connect your cam, you go to File > Import Media?
But before that, does your cam require you to export your video files upon USB connection? I have a JVC Everio HD and I have to "Export to Library" from the cam's menu first-thing. This was true even in prior iMovie versions.

This can happen if your phone memory is full. Change the "save folder" to memory card

Connect problem with DV video-camera through the new thunderbolt to firewire adapter?

Hi
I got a JVC DV camcorder with firewire 400 output and I've got a Macbook Air 2012 with 8gb 1600 MHz DDR3, intel i7 2GHz, 256 ssd harddisk and intel HD graphics 4000 512 mb. It has thundebolt but no firewire port.
I wanted to connect these two item and then bought the new "thunderbolt to firewire 800" and the "800 to 400 firewire adapter cable".
I then connect both cables to each other and pluged it in to the JVC DV. I started up iMovie and pressed play on the camcorder, but the signal can't get through and the Macbook Air does not find the camcorder at all? What have I done wrong? Please help..
Best regards,

Problems with opening video files?

In CS5 I would always save my in-progress .gifs as Quicktime Movies. Since upgrading, I have not been able to open any of these Quicktime files, and I also cannot open .mp4 files that I created in Photoshop CS6. Anyone have an idea as to why I'm having this issue/what I can do to fix it? I don't have any plugins installed, if I should.

Some security tool or whatever is possibly blocking the relevant components. Turn any such stuff off (temporarily) amnd try again. Also make sure you have sufficient user privileges.

Importing Problem from HD video camera to FCE

I just bought a macbook pro retina with all the bells and whistles. Tried importing video from Canon Vixia HD21 which I have been using successfully with my macbook for years. Set the import to Apple intermediate Codec but machine will not go to FCE. Puts the clips into the queue, downloads them then I get the red exclamation point and nothing is transferred to FCE. Anybody have any suggesions?

It ia true that Apple has moved away from DVD and iDVD.
However you can purchase external drives, even Apple supplies one if required and iDVD will work on the newer OS Mountain Lion.
I run iDVD 7.1.2 on Mountain Lion without issue.
BTW: We are all Apple users on this forum rather than Apple employees. If you wish to make your concerns heard then use Apple Feedback.

Video cam problem

I have the new ipad and i found a problem in the video cam that it's making zoom in and idon't how to return back to the normal picture

You don't specify which model iMac you have, but 2 GB should be enough to handle a video download. Can you try connecting the camera to another computer to see if it is faulty?
Also, have you tried connecting the camera to the port that you have the MyBook in?
Try resetting the SMU and see if that helps. Please post back with results,

Video camera button issues on iphone4 after iOS5 upgrade

hi
I have upgraded to iOS5 on my 1 year-old iphone4. I have a problem with the video camera function - it doesnt work anymore when accesed from the camera app icon:
When I tap on the camera app icon I can access the camera screen. On the camera screen, when the slider above the red button is set to the camera icon, both the red button and the volume-up button activate the shutter and a photograph is taken. However, when the slider is set to the camera icon, the screen freezes when either the red button or volume-up button is pressed to start recording.
However, when the phone is locked and the home button is pressed twice to access the camera screen, both the still-camera and the video-camera function normally using either the red button or the volume-up button,
This has all the appearence of and seems to me as though it is a bug in the iOS5 software
has anyone else observed this problem with the video-camera function?
Can Apple offer advice on how (and when) this will be fixed please?
many thanks
john

I have noticed that the camera has seemed slower on the iOS 5 updates. I usually just shut it off then turn it back on and use the quick camera as opposed to exiting the app I'm on and going to the home screen and opening it up.

Best non mini dv video camera to import a football match to imovie 09?

sorry for the 2nd consecutive post, but to go with my previous problem, i am looking for a good cheapish solution to the following problem
currently the video camera i use to record the youth teams football matches is a panasonic NV G5S which requires firewire to transfer to imovie. my macbook is wonderful, but it doesnt have a firewire port. so what i have to do is import the video to my friends older mac, then transfer it to my mac . all very time consuming, around 4 hours for 1 match. also the quality is rather bad, so bad when analysing the game with the coach, we cant make out which player is which at times. therefor i am considering buying a new video camera which will import direct to my macbook without the need for a firewire cable. could someone recommend the best video camera for quaity which is compatable with the mac for around 200-300 pounds. also i dont mind upgrading to imovie 09 should this be a better application to import higher quality videos.
please help

Can recommend a slim/mini video camera that is compatible with FCE ?

I have some technical problem.
My video camera is too big in size to film in between spaces. My friend has build a model of a few cluster of flats. He wants me to help him film the spaces between the flats from the bird's eye perspective. By bird's eye perspective, he meant to say he wants me to record what the bird can see if the bird fly surrounding the flats & between the flats & then make turns surrounding the buildings.
My present video is too bulky to squeeze into those small models.
I think the only way is to purchase a video camera that is so slim like a shape if pencil so that it can go in between the blocks.
Where can I buy this ? Will this type of video (if exist) records video in good quality & compatible with FCE4 ?
Thanks

Hi(Bonjour)!
You should look in Radio-Controled airplane model equipment. There are mini camera that mount on the model and broadcast the video on the air to a receiver that can be connected to a camcorder. You can connect them on any VCR
See example:

All kinds of problems after new 808 video camera.

Lots of new minor (so far) problems have cropped up lately. iCal sometimes does not notify me of events. These are regularly scheduled events (like bill payments) that have been working for years. This has cost me a couple of late payment charges so far. If I open iCal to investigate, the notices are on the iCal page, and if I close iCal, they are not there when I open iCal again. Normally, they don't disappear unless I click on the little X. I tried to register about 5 times for a Photobucket account by filling out the fields on the registration page. One of 3 things happened when I clicked on "continue" at the bottom; it erased all of the fields that I filled in, Safari closed, or it told me that the format for the user i.d. was wrong. It didn't tell me what the format was so I clicked on "help", and then it told me that I should be using a computer to register. I guess it thought I was on a smart phone or something. I was on a another website and I tried to get some information that required me to input my zip code. When I typed the first digit, it appeared in the leftmost position of the zip code field. When I typed the second digit, it replaced the first digit (ie, it appeared in the leftmost digit position). When I typed the third digit, it replaced the first digit. I tried entering the entire zip code and clicking on "enter", in hope that was receiving my zip code even though it was not being displayed, but it did not work. Sometimes, when I am typing in a password or other field, the characters don't appear for a few seconds. I will be typing and watching the field and the characters will stop appearing. I will think that I didn't press the key down far enough, and I will type it again and nothing will appear, and type it again and then 3 of that character will appear.
These problems seem to have started about the time I started using a tiny, cheap Chinese video camera. When I downloaded a video from the camera, it took about 4 times as long to download it as the length of the video (12 minutes to download a 3 minute video). I downloaded about 40 minutes of video, watched them on iMovie, then deleted them. Could the camera have been shipped with a virus in it? Is there anything else that could cause all these problems?

"Could the camera have been shipped with a virus in it?"
It's possible but it would not have affected your Mac because _*there are no OS X viruses.*_
Have you tried another browser? Tried any basic troubleshooting?
Boot up from your install DVD and run *"Repair Disk"* from the Utility menu.
If you installed anything onto your computer from the camera, uninstall it.
Any issues you have regarding Safari and/or iCal post in their respective forums where those users hang out at:

When downloading from a Sony minidisc video camera, the picture is downloading but without sound. Previously, it had downloaded successfully both sound and picture. I have subsequently upgraded to Lion X (10.7.4). Is there some problem with the driver?

When you have kernel panics, the pertinent information is in the panic report.
These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
In the Console window, select
DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ System Diagnostic Reports
(not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of reports. A panic report has a name that begins with "Kernel" and ends in ".panic". Select the most recent one. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a panic, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report.
I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.

I am having trouble with downloading videos from my Sony HDR-XR160 video camera. iMovie doesnt open up when i connect the camcorder. any suggesions?

Looking up your camera online, I found it is capable of 1920 x 1080 Full HD 60p Recording. It's the 60p (60 frames per second Progressive) that's the problem I think. iMovie '11 will do 60i (Interlaced). You might need to convert it from the format the camera currently uses into another format to get it into iMovie. Read more about it on this link here: How to import 60p footage From that message thread comes the recommendation to use ClipWrap to convert the camera's video clips now that they are in 60p:

Use ClipWrap to rewrap to QuickTime. Import the files. Edit in either 59.94 or 29.97. The latter if you want to use the high frame rate for slomo

Flip Video camera & problems with QT 7.4.5

If you are having problems with QT 7.4.5 and Flip Video, here is the Flip Video email response on 27 May 2008:
Hello,
Thank you for your response.
We are not authorized to support third party applications, which is why we do not provide specific instructions regarding iMovie or any other third party application. We only support the Flip and the Flip program, while offering suggestions regarding other programs.
The Apple website also offers Perian as a workaround regarding audio on the Tiger operating system with the latest QuickTime. The latest QuickTime upgrade didn’t allow for audio playback of AVI files, which is why Perian is now offered as a work around by us and by Apple.
It seems as though you are able to playback your videos, as well as use them in outside applications. If this is not the case, and you are having issues using your Flip video or your Flip video program, feel free to contact us further.
Thank you,
Consumer Support
Pure Digital Technologies, Inc.
Here is my email to Flip Video on 26 May 2008:
My MAC Updater downloaded the new QT 7.4.5 on 5 Apr 2008. I have been making movies in iMovie, and then posting them to YouTube. In the beginning I uploaded the movies as MOV files but soon discovered AVI files (larger file and longer time to upload) had more clarity when viewed on YouTube. Once the new QT 7.4.5 downloaded all my AVI files had picture, but no sound! I downloaded the Perian component as posted in QT discussions. The sound returned to the AVI files. However, when I Exported an AVI movie from iMovie the picture quality was worse than the MOV movie. There is something wrong with the new QT 7.4.5 when working with AVI, my AVI movies look terrible. These AVI files were all downloaded from my Ultra Flip Video camera with Flip’s codec 3vix. Flip is aware of this problem and acknowledged it last Friday. Flip says Apple is aware of the problem.
My MAC PowerPc G4 has performed well in the past two months when working with the Flip Video camera. So, at Flip Video’s suggestion I upgraded the operating system to OS 10.5 from OS 10.4.11. Flip Video says their camera works with OS 10.5. Once OS 10.5 was uploaded I soon discovered that iMovie 08 would not operate on my PowerPc G4, 1.86 MHz. The speed requirement for iMovie 08 is 1.9 GHz.
At this point of “spinning my wheels for nearly a month” with this Flip Video camera, I decided to purchase a new iMac. On May 2, 2008, I walked out of the Apple Store in Walnut Creek with the new iMac 20-inch: 2.66GHz. Now the Flip video camera should work and all my video problems solved. However, this was not to be.
When I attempted to Import Flip Video AVI and MOV files into iMovie 08 the files were “grayed out” and would not Import. None of my previous Flip Video files would Import. I tried making new Flip Video movies, they also would not Import into iMovie 08.
At another Apple Store, the tech suggested I download the previous version of iMovie HD. I did this and with hours of working through the different Export options I was able to create movies to post again on youTube. However, the picture quality of the newer iMovies has never approached the quality of my last post before QT 7.4.5 downloaded. Remember my problems started with QT 7.4.5. Well, my new iMac came with QT 7.4.1, I have not Uploaded QT 7.4.5 and won’t until Flip Video fixes this problem.
Examples of my Flip Video movies can be viewed on youTube at: sffoggydays. The last video with excellent picture quality was posted 6 Apr 2008 titled “A Day at the San Francisco Zoo, Chapter Nine, L-Taravel Ride to BART.” This video was made in iMovie and Exported before QT 7.4.5 downloaded. All the youTube Flip Videos made after 6 Apr 2008 have poor picture quality.
It is time for Flip Video camera to stop “passing the buck” to Apple. When manufactures of operating system such as Apple and Microsoft create newer and upgraded systems, it is the responsibility of the manufactures of applications to redo their programs for operating on the new systems. Here is where Flip Video is not accepting this responsibility to Mac users of their camera. The Flip Video application/codex/drivers need to be updated in order to fix the following problems:
- No sound on AVI files in QT 7.4.5
- No Import of AVI and MOV files in iMovie 08
- Poor picture quality for youTube in Export of iMovie HD
I like my Flip Video camera, want to continue making movies for youTube, and recommending the camera to others. The Flip Video camera people need to fix these problems for Mac users.

Flip video ( I just bought one) makes AVI files (AVI is a container like QT is one) using 3ivX. All you need is the free Perian codec and you can playback, edit etc. Export the to a MOV container which doesn't reencode them and you should have usable files.
They have a valid point - they supply software and they have no obligation to make their camera work in iMovie. Reviews I have read say it works OK in IM6 vs. the iLife 08 version. Note that QT doesn't work natively with DivX, WMV and you don't see Apple saying they are obligated to fix Quicktime. They like their codecs and they don't care about others any more than Flip does.
You can always open in MPEG Streamclip and export them to a non lossy codec like Animation and use those new QT files as well. Or DV as another format option.
