Recording from camera directly to iMovie

How to record directly to iMovie 10 from camera (Canon HV20)? I can see my camera, but no "record" button available. Any hints?

I'd recommend the Canopus ADVC 110 but it's more than you want to spend ...
+Assuming I can find the necessary adapter, is it feasible to take the feed from the camera directly into iMovie for viewing/recording/editing or would I need some kind of intermediary software?+
This will feed right into iMovie.

  • Capture images from Camera directly at high resolution

    Hello Users,
    I want to capture images from Camera directly at high
    resolution. The problem is that although I am able to capture
    images from a Video Object, but the images are small because the
    Video size is only 160x120. So if I am able to capture directly
    from Camera, I am sure to get a higher resolution images at which
    the camera is capturing.
    Any help in this matter will be of great help

  • Recording from vinyl directly onto m

    Had a quick look thru the FAQ's and didn't see an answer to this question, but apologies if it has been discussed before.
    I've heard that it's possible to record an analogue signal (in my case vinyl records from my hi-fi) directly onto a Creative mp3 player. is this true? One one external website they mentioned that the MuVo can do this - all that is needed is an adaptor for the Creative line-in jack to accomodate the standard input from a hi-fi amplifier...
    Would appreciate any tips, advice etc on how to do this, which Creative models support this and any extra hardware/software required.
    many thanks

    I don't think that recording direct to the player- is this what you're talking about?- is the best way to go.
    Personally, I would just go and download the albums you have- owning the vinyl makes it legal for you to download the song from a peer to peer network.
    If you're hell-bent on transferring them, going table to computer is the way you'll want to do it. Now, if I'm not mistaken, a phono signal isn't a perfect line-level, so you'll need to compensate with the recording level on the computer. Unless you have a top-of-the line sound card with RCA jacks connected to a dri'vebay component, you'll need a /8'' to stereo RCA adapter, which you can find at almost any electronics store that carries adapters.
    In my opinion, the best program to use to record audio is Audacity, which you can download for free at http://audacity.sourceforge.net . Audacity will let you export directly to MP3 after you point it in the direction of the LAME encoder's DLL, which is included with many players. Chances are you have one of them already.

  • How I calculate the flv file size whe I recording from camera and microphone?

    Hi all:
    I'm recording video from my webcam and my microphone.
    I would like to know how I can to determinate via some formula, approximately, the result file size due to camera and microphone configuration.
    I show you my actual configuration:
         // setup cam
        cam = Camera.get();
        // setting dimensions and framerate
        cam.setMode(320, 240, 30);
        // set to minimum of 70% quality
        cam.setQuality(0,70);
        // setup mic
        mic = Microphone.get();
        mic.setRate(22);
    Only ohert question:
    What enconders are using to encoder video and audio by default?
    Regards, Roberto.

    I'd say 9.4 mb is correct. Email attachments always put on a lot of weight, so 12 mb as an attachment is probably right too.
    Why don't you use a free service like Filemail? It's very easy to use, and you dont't have to sign up to use it.

  • Difficulty importing Video from camera to either iMovie or Final Cut Exp

    Hi I am looking for some advice on importing film to imovie or final cut express. I was able to hook up the Canon HD camera to the my new Macbook Pro and import a game film to both iMovie and final Cut express last week. This week same camera and the movie runs but Imovie and Final Cut shut off almost immediately or if I use manual setting the video runs but nothing is captured?
    I have thought that I may have changed settings on the camera but I do not actually do the filming. We have been able to download continuously to an older Mac using a newer camera from the same manufacturer Canon also HD.

    Your camcorder must be set to the correct output mode. On some camcorders, this is called VTR or VCR mode, but not all camcorders use the same terminology, so check the documentation that came with your device. On some camcorders you must set the output to DV mode or HDV mode, depending on whether the content is standard (DV) or high definition (HDV).
    If all was working correctly I would unplug everything (camcorder wise) and clean out you plist and caches. See http://uimfaq.us/b3aANe then give it another go.

  • Is it possible to move pictures from camera directly to iPad?

    I'm considering buying an iPad before our overseas trip. I want to directly offload/transfer captured images from my Sony digital camera to the iPad. This would allow me to view the images as well as clear storage space on the camera's memory card. Is this possible, or would I have to go through a computer and iTunes to make this happen? If so, that would preclude the iPad in favor of a traditional laptop? Thoughts... Thanks.

    You can use the camera connection kit to transfer photos either directly from the camera or via an SD card reader (the kit contains both) : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4106. You can then transfer the pictures off via your computer (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083).
    Pictures transferred to the iPad via the kit can be deleted directly off the iPad without the need of a computer - so you can do some basic filtering on the iPad and potentially free up some space on it whilst awat from your computer. Depending on what sort of memory card your camera uses though I would probably advise taking enough spare cards with you so that you don't have to empty them whilst away, especially if it's somewhere that you're unlikely to go to again.

  • Can't transfer videos and photos taken with my ipad (3rd gen) from camera roll to iMovie

    Hey guys,
    Last week I purchased iMovie for Ipad! I was looking forward making some nice clips, trailers etc. but I realized, I can't add videos nor photos what I've took with the iPad to iMovie! When I click on 'add photos' or 'add videos' option, no folder comes up, not even camera roll. Do you guys know how can I fix the problem? Or is there something what I'm doing wrong? Thank you so much in advance!
    Markus

    Hey Gerry!
    You solved my problem, thank you!

  • Cannot record from cam in quicktime 7.0.3

    Loads up the cam, and I see the image, but when I ask it to begin recording, it say the disk is full, or not writeable. Disk is not even the least bit full.
    I was thinking there might be another app that had the cam open, but did not see one.
    BTW - EvoCam records just fine.
    Thanks!

    Ok, silly me - You MUST set up a capture FOLDER and not the desktop to get the cam to save a file.

  • Is there a way to download pictures from a camera directly to my iphone

    Is there  a way to download pics from camera directly to my iphone/pad?

    Unfortunately, I dont think so, but one thing you can try is taking your charger, and plug the USB in the camera, and the charging end into your phone and see what happens.

  • I run Final Cut Express 4.0.1; I shoot with a Sony HDR-CX260V. How do I import from the camera directly to Final Cut, without having to go through the intermediate step of using iMovie?

    I use Final Cut Express 4.0.1; I shoot with a Sony HDR-CX260V.
    How do I import from camera to Final Cut without going through the intermediate step of using iMovie?

    If you shoot in one of the following modes you should be able to Log & Transfer directly into FCE:
    HD:  1920x1080/60i (FX or FH mode)
    HD:  1440x1080/60i (HQ or LP mode)
    SD:  720x480/60i
    1080/60p (PS mode) seems to be the default mode in your camcorder.  FCE only supports progressive video in 720p50 or 720p60.   That's probably why you have had to import via iMovie.
    It would be better to upgrade to Final Cut Pro X, the version currently supported.  FCE was discontinued over 18 months ago and is not supported on Lion or Mountain Lion.

  • Recording directly into imovie from Camcorder

    Does anyone know if you can record directly into imovie from your camcorder without using the small cassette tapes?

    Without information on the make and model of the camcorder, it's difficult to provide a specific answer.

  • What cameras will import directly to iMovie?

    Years ago I used a mini-tape firewire camcorder that imported directly into iMovie. Since I switched to cameras that record both video and still images, I must transfer all videos from iPhoto to iMovie (a real pain since I take a lot of video).
    I am in the market for a high quality, HD video camera, but I want to be able to import directly into iMovie. I am willing to splurge so price is not an issue.
    Any suggestions??

  • Record directly into iMovie?

    I was wondering if I could set up a camera, and record directly into iMovie. I have a long program I need record, and would love to record (import) directly into iMovie.

    Yes you can. But there may be occasional short pauses while your Mac "takes a breath" and indexes what it's storing on your hard disc, etc.
    Remember that DV video takes up about 13 gigabytes of space per hour, so you'll need that much free space on your disc per hour of recording, and keep about 10% of your total hard disc space free, so that your Mac can still do its internal housekeeping.
    You'll need, of course a camcorder with a FireWire/DV/i.Link connection (..all the same thing; just different names for it!..) which generally means a tape-based miniDV camcorder.
    (..Although hi-def HDV camcorders have the same FireWire connection, and record onto the same miniDV tape, there's quite an 'overhead' of processing power which your Mac requires in order to convert the incoming hi-def video into the 'Apple Intermediate Codec' format which lets iMovie edit hi-def, so I'd stick with standard-definition DV if I were you!..)*
    Depending on the make and model of camera, you may need to put a tape in the camera - or not - and switch it to either Record or VCR mode. (..In a quick test here I've just turned on my Sony camera in 'Camera' mode with a FireWire cable connected, and iMovie is displaying the picture from the camera, and imports it when I click iMovie's "Import" button..)
    "..I have a long program I need record.." ..erm, if you're pointing it at a TV screen to record that, you'd want the camera on some sort of support, and - if you have Manual Focus - you may want to de-focus slightly to avoid the moiré pattern which you might get from tightly focused dots (pixels) on the screen. You'd also want to adjust the camera's White Balance so that the screen looks the right colour!
    *P.S: hi-def HDV takes up more than 13GB per hour, so if you were to use hi-def HDV you'd need to allow much more (..up to 4x more..) hard disc space per hour of recording!
