Samsung HMX-Q10 video choppy when uploaded to iMovie, HELP!

So, my 14 year old loves making videos with his friends. We got him a nice camera for Christmas in the Samsung HMX-Q10.
When he pulls it in to IMovie to edit, it is VERY choppy. All the research I did on the web suggested this camera would work great on a Mac. Now he's really discouraged and I'm pretty frustrated. Seems pretty ridiculous to me that we are even having this issue.
Is it the Camera?
Is it the program?
Is it the speed/memory/etc. of the computer?
Is the affordable Mac program out there that will either convert to an easier format or that he can use like iMovie?
My Computer info is as follows:
iMac
Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed 2 GHz
# of Prcessors 1
# of cores 2
L2 Cache 4MB
Memory 1 GB
Bus Speed 800 MHz
If the system is too slow, can I make this computer faster?
You help is appreciated.

I don't see that. To me, it looks the same quality as any YouTube video.

  • Samsung HMX-Q10 camcorder

    Does the Samsung HMX-Q10 camcorder work with a Mac? The box says the bundled software is not designed to work with a Mac. Some reviews talk about hooking the camcorder up to a Mac with a USB cable.

  • Video degraded when uploaded to Facebook

    Since upgrading to Mavericks, which I did almost immediately after getting my new MacBook Pro 15" Retina Display, video is badly degraded when uploaded to Facebook from iMovie or iphoto. It  looks fine when view in iphoto or imovie, but after sharing right from either of those apps, to facebook, it loses an incredible amount of quality. Is it something in my settings? Or bandwidth from my ISP? My old little 13 macbook created great videos that looked just as good when uploaded to FB. Thanks

    Ther version of Premiere Elements 13 is the version on a MacBook Pro 2.8 GHz Intel Core i7; 16GB 1600 MHz DDR3, NVIDA GeForce GT 750M 2048 MB.  OS X Yosemite version 10.10.2
    When loading to Facebook the processing finishes - the progress meter gets to the end. The Error Message pops up at the end.
    Vimeo and YouTube built in Premiere Elements feature work?
    - I only tried YouTube but that did not work either.
    What specific error messages are you getting with the Facebook failures?
    - The error pop up message is above
    BUT....  What did work was mentioned in this chain.
    I exported the image to an MP4 video then saved it onto my HD. The imported the image to Facebook

  • IPhone 6 plus videos choppy when imported to iMac

    all of my videos from my iPhone 6 plus are choppy when I import them to iPhoto. They play fine on phone and the choppy parts occur at same spots of playback as if file is corrupt. I tried playing videos in quicktime and opening in iMovie. anyone have same issue? OS X 10.9.5, iPhone 6 plus

    So I figured out that Mavericks was not the problem. It still occurred using Yosemite. It played a short video at 60 when I posted last just fine, but wasn't fixed. The problem may lie in your video card not being able to support 60 fps. Its not a common format. I have no problem playing video recorded at standard 30 fps from iPhone. I've read iMovie does not support 60 fps, I don't know why it lets you import it. I only film 30 fps now and it works okay. I noticed that any hiccups in project smooth out on created file.

  • Ipod touch recorded video choppy when watch on my PC

    When I try to watch recorded videos on my PC they are extremly choppy. I have tried to watch in Quick time but the color is off and no sound. When I try to watch in picasa it is too choppy/jerky to watch with no sound. How can I watch my recorded videos on my pc?

    Maybe since your pc is running XP that it isn't fully compatible and it doesn't read the video from the ipod touch as it would on a new operating system? Have you tried a friends computer? I would try that.

  • Flash video lags when uploaded to Youtube.

    Hi.
    I have tried to upload one of my flash videos on youtube, the only problem is that it lags!
    The sound is perfect, but the film only shows about 1 frame per second, when it's supposed to be 12 frames per second. This is obviously nothing worth watching when the picture lags as much as it does.
    I have uploaded the same video on my facebook profile, and it worked pretty good, but as I already said, it lags when it is on youtube.
    I don't have any movieclips in the movie I uploaded to Youtube.
    Does it have anything to do with the settings on the movie? I eksported it in to a quiktime film before I uploaded it to youtube. I saw a tutorial where the person exported his flash into quiktime and uploaded it to youtube, and the animations were smooth, but when I do this, it lags.
    Can anybody help me?

  • Low video quality when uploaded to youtube

    I edited a YouTube webseries for some friends of mine using iMovie 11. It was filmed using a Sony Handycam DCR TRV33. This is not a high definition camera, it is standard definition, but the video quality still looked pretty good when I was editing it on iMovie. I exported it to Quicktime, then uploaded it to YouTube from my desktop (I had read that this was better than uploading it directly from iMovie). In Quicktime it looked fine, but then once it was on YouTube the video quality was significantly worse. Does anyone have any tips on how I can improve this? Here is a link to the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1KPhrnisMQ
    Thank you for your help.

  • Video freezes when uploaded on LMS

    Hi,
    I created a file in Adobe Captivate 7 trial version. Swf output, published it. The motion video was recorded using the 'record additional slides' function in captivate. When I view the .htm files offline, locally, they work fine.
    However, after uploading the zip file, and viewing the file, the audio and static slides work fine, but the motion video FREEZES right at the beginning of the video while the audio continues.
    How do I overcome this?
    Thanks!

    OK.  Based on this new evidence my guess would be that your LMS server is not set up to serve MP4 video files.  Captivate 5.5 used FLV video for Full Motion Recordings.  Cp6 and Cp7 now record simulations as CPVC files which are then published to MP4 video before insertion into Captivate projects. 
    By default web servers are only initially set up to serve certain types of files.  My guess would be that your LMS web server permits FLV video files but has not been set to also serve MP4.  SCORM Cloud IS set up to serve MP4 and that's why your content works on SCORM Cloud but not on your current LMS.

  • Samsung HMX-W300 Video Camera

    Can the videos on this camera be imported into iphoto or imovie?

    I don't see it on the list for iMovie support. Most work with iPhoto to import video.

  • My camera roll photos and video won't upload to iMovie. Any suggestions?, My camera roll photos and video won't upload to iMovie. Any suggestions?

    I haven't had a problem until I updated my iPad. Now my camera roll photos and videos won't show up in iMovie. I updated the App and shut down my iPad.  I would love some help.  Thanks.

    Go to SETTINGS--> PRIVACY and then PHOTOS; make sure iMovie is set to "on".
    Should work then. (Did for me).

  • I cannot import video clips when working with iMovie

    I have a 13" Macbook Pro running Mavericks versión 10.9.4 but lately I do not know what happened since everytime I try to import video clips into my movie or trailer I am unable to get it. Those thumbnail are grey out, I can't drag them out into my project. Why ?

    In Lion, one can select a video clip, go to finder services, and click on encode video...it will transcode the .mpg to something iMovie can handle. Far as I can tell, .mpg is not something iMovie likes to play with.

  • Why does my video skip when importing into iMovie?

    I'm using a Canon HD video camcorder (HV20) to import my home videos into iMovie.  After starting the import, the video being recorded in iMovie often "skips" (flickers on the computer screen / sound is also affected) yet the video playing on the camcorder plays without any issues.  Can someone help?

    You would get better results if you convert the MP4 ciips into Apple Intermediate Codec before editing. After editing you can render them back into MP4 if you want.
    MPEG Streamclip (free) will do this conversion. Or get iMovie 09 and it will do it.

  • Using iMovie 09, when downloading video fromm Samsung HMX- H106SN, The video image is stretched. Anyone have an idea for a fix?

    Using iMovie 09, when downloading video from Samsung HMX- H106SN, the video image in iMovie is stretched. I see no obvious way to adjust this in iMovie.  When played on HDTV directly from camera using HDMI, the video image is fine.  Is this a compatibility issue? Anyone have an idea for a fix?
    Thnx, olive.c

    Thanks guys! Appreciate the help. Unfortunately I'm just not getting the same quality/file size/performance that I'm getting from the traditional Apple TV export option.
    I did however find what I think might even be a better solution for anyone using a mono wireless mic system like myself... use what's called a 3.5mm stereo jack to 3.5mm mono plug adapter. They're only like $5 and not only convert the audio so it comes out of both speakers, but this is probably a better option cause now in post production (iMovie) the other tracks like music etc... are still in stereo.
    Here's a link to the adapter on Tiger Direct... http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/searchtools/item-Details.asp?EdpNo=93027 7&sku=C184-03174&srkey=3.5mm%20mono%20plug%20to%203.5mm%20stereo%20socket
    Hope this helps!

  • TS3195 I can upload photos and smaller size videos but when a video is 24 minutes long for instance, it doesn't upload at all from my iPhone to the PC. How do I upload these videos that are longer in length?

    I can upload photos and smaller size videos but when a video is 24 minutes long for instance, it doesn't upload at all from my iPhone to the PC. How do I upload these videos that are longer in length?

    Are you using any software to import videos? Did you tried Picasa or you just open your iPhone from My Computer?

  • Late-2009 iMac elusive freezing when uploading video

    Hey All,
    So I am currently experiencing a freezing problem when I try to upload youTube videos through firefox and/or safari after... a checkered past. Hopefully this isn't TMI, just being thurough to save your valuable effort.
    iMac Details:
    21.5-inch, Late 2009
    3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    4 GB 1067 MHZ DDR3
    ATI Radeon HD 4670 256 MB
    OS X 10.8.5 (12F45)
    I am using bootCamp with windows 7
         -fyi i did have w7 virtual RAM manually defined (properly or so I thought) and have since reverted to cpu defined vram.
    Funny part is when I was exporting a video from iMovie while simultaniously mixing tracks on virtualDJ while playing a youtube video, everything was fine. Now the history...
    1. Trouble started when I was getting the 'click of death' and the 'beach ball of death' seemingly at random while running various apps one at a time.
         -I reset my PRAM
         -I was and am still totally unable to run AHT (superdrive is dead and all key comands do nothing)
         -I verified disk permissions (there were a lot of errors so I repaired them)
         -I verified the disk (it passed), I repaired the disk even though it didn't need it.
         -I downloaded, installed and ran MemTest. (passed 100%)
         -I determined that I might have a kernal extension problem so I deleted Virtual Box and that seemed to calm things down... for awhile.
    2. So there was peace in the galaxy for a couple months until after running in my windows partition I tried multiple times and could not boot into my OS X partition.
         -I again reset PRAM
         -I again verified and repaired disk permissions (all went fine, tho agian there were many permission errors)
         -I again verified and repaired the disk (even though it passed)
         -I safe booted, it worked
         -I booted into OS X, it worked.
    3. Now, I can restart OS X whenever I want but hard freezing (finder is not responding and refuses to relaunch) still occures when uploading video to youTube having tried multiple browsers.
         -Before when it froze Activity Monitor showed no disk activity, and plenty of realMemory was available.
         -I haven't actaully gotten a read form Activity Monitor when trying to upload. I will tho.
         -I have been unable to find any 'memory leaks' tho I may not understand how to track this
         -My bootcamp partion is totally fine and I've since allowed the CPU to define vram
         -Memtest just now passed all tests.
         -I have had to do hard restart several times while trying different internet browsers.
         -My OS X partition has 344.22 GB free of 1.35 TB.
         -I have no external hardware plugged in, only a USB keyboard and mouse.
    So, a few questions...
         1. Did my manual addition of Virtual RAM on my bootcamp partition mess up my ram? if so why does it still test okay?
         2. Do I have to run memtest as the root user to get a real read on my ram? I haven't done this, yet.
         3. Why do I still get freezes while uploading video even tho when I try to max out my memory usage everything runs fine, no freezing?
         4. Is my hardrive messed even tho it passes checks when I'm booted to an external recovery drive?
         5. Is Apple trying to tell me they want more of the money I don't have anymore because I bought this thing 5 years ago?
    Ya'll are heros for even trying. You knew that. I'm just reminding you.

    So, I've been attempting to solve the issue by using diskUtility to erase free space on my mac and bootcamp partitions to identify bad drive sectors. Unfortunately erasesing free space did not work after defrag on the bootcamp partition. It simply crashed.
    Intitally on the OS X partition I did successfully erase free space and that improved all problems for about 3 days. Then freezes became random and increased in regularity. So I moved about 500GB of data to an external drive (the important stuff) and tried to erase free space again to make it identify bad sectors. So I've tried both booting into my external and recovery drive and having the utility erase free space. Both atempts failed when the utility simply gave up after 2hrs and would no longer recognize the drive. I'm booted into my mac partition right now and am gettimg more random freezing with 2/3 of the drive free.
    I'm resigned to claiming warranty and replacing the drive after upgrading it about 2yrs ago but can't find any real info on what my model and serial number are. All info that I've found does not seem to direct me to the correct information as I've tried entering it into Seagate's website and it will not accept my input. Any advice on claiming on my Seagate warranty and possibly what the model and serial number should look like? I can't seem to find the right numbers.
