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.

  • Is the Samsung HMX-W300 imovie compatible?

    is the Samsung HMX-W300 imovie compatible?

    This worked for us with some modification as the version of Quicktime 10 we have doesn't have send to iMovie.
    Connect Samsung video camera to laptop
    Open the the “video” folder on the camera and copy videos to your desktop.
    Double click on the movie to open in quicktime.  Click on the box with the arrow on bottom right of the quicktime movie.  Scroll down and select "send to iTunes".  Select desired format (usually apple tv choice) and send to iTunes.
    Open iMovie and go to FILE - IMPORT - MOVIES and browse to iTunes movies and select the correct video file from iTunes movie folder. 
    Once the video processes you can edit the video in iMovie ‘11

  • 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.
    How do most YouTube videos look to you?

  • 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!

  • Premiere Elements 8 & native support for Samsung AVCHD MP4 video?

    I'm excited about the release of version 8 of PSE and PE, but my big unanswered question is stated in the subject line: will Premiere Elements 8 natively support the MP4 files produced by my Samsung HMX-H104 ?
    I've been entirely unsuccessful with this file format and PE7.
    I've read throught the product descriptions and FAQ and Adobe makes reference to cameras from flash-drive camcorders, but doesn't offer any specifics. Native support looks like a crapshoot. Anybody with some insight to contribute?

    Thanks for pointing that out -- yeah, I see my error. I just did a little bit of web searching and it's not AVCHD. This seems to pretty well summarize it:
    http://www.camcorderinfo.com/content/Samsung-SC-HMX10-Camcorder-Review-34476/Format.htm
    "The Samsung ... outputs video in the H.264/MPEG-4 format (the file extension is .MP4). This highly-compressed video codec should not be confused with the competing AVCHD format. AVCHD is a type of H.264/MPEG-4 codec, but the version Samsung employs is different, with both benefits and drawbacks.
    "...the MPEG-4 video ... is adequate. ... this type of MPEG-4 is space efficient and less processor-intensive to edit than AVCHD."
    ...and...
    http://www.camcorderinfo.com/content/Samsung-HMX-H105-First-Impressions-Camcorder-Review-3 6130/Compression-amp-Media.htm
    "The Samsung HMX-H105 records video in the MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 format, the same as models from the previous years. MPEG-4 has clearly been adopted as the format of choice for HD camcorders, split into two camps. Sony, Canon, Panasonic, and most recently JVC, all use AVCHD, which is a subset of AVC/H.264. AVCHD experienced some serious stumbling blocks in its first few years, as existing hardware and software choked on the heavy data loads. It has, however, gotten much better in the past year. AVC/H.264 is also data-heavy, at least compared to old standard definition camcorders, but the format is easier to read. QuickTime can work perfectly with the files, and has the benefit of being free and dual-platform."
    I know this aspect has all been covered to death on these forums in the past, with respect to PE7 (which chokes on any Samsung .MP4 file I throw at it). While I've bookmarked the workaround posted by you in this thread (thanks!), I was hoping to avoid the extra steps à la native compatability with PE8.

  • How do I connect my Sony HD video camera to work as my webcam on a mac-mini

    I have just purchased a 2.5GHz 4Mb mini-mac.  I am using a Samsung HD TV and want to use a Sony HD video camera as a webcam.  I have mini-display port, HDMI port and thunderbolt port on the mini-mac.  The video camera has mini HDMI port and I have mini HDMI to HDMI cable.  I also have HDMI to mini-disply connector.  So far I have tried connecting the TV via the HDMI to HDMI cable and the camera via mini HDMI to HDMI/HDMI mini-display convertor to the mini-mac.  The TV is showing the display but the video camera (turned on!) doesn't automatically appear or show in either Finder or as available when I am trying to set up Skype.  Then tried swapping the two around at the mini-mac with the TV now going through the HDMI to mini-display convertor and the camera going to the HDMI port.  Same results as previous set-up.
    Can this be made to work? Is there a HDMI to thunderbolt convertor that will work?   Is this plug and play technology or are there more complicated set-up [rocedures?  Any help much appreciated.

  • Digital video camera compatible list

    hi, i cant seem to find the list here for compatible digital video cameras with mac.
    i really like the JVC hard drives, but have read here there is a loss of quality, and they are hard to work with IDVD?????
    thank you

    general rule:
    any firewire connected, miniDV
    camcorder has access to the simplicity & convenience
    of the iApps...
    This is not absolutely correct. I have personally suffered a great embarassment when I tried to showcase iMovie HD on my PowerBook G4 17" to a colleague who had a couple years old Samsung MiniDV camera with him that day. iMovie wouldn't even recognised it. And he uses it with Adobe Premiere on a PC with no problems. We then tried some JVC camera lying around and it worked perfectly. Being PC user he took it for granted but I was really shocked.
    I have immediately Googled for that camera model and, apparently, it is incompatible with iMovie at all. I can't remember the model now but if you search the net for it you'll find out.
    Since that time I am more cautious about making bold statements.

  • Best video camera to use with Apple TV?

    I have Apple TV and love it so far. I want to buy a video camera, and need to know what is the best choice for a camcorder in the $200-$300 range, that will record quality video which can be easily downloaded into iTunes and played on Apple TV. I know there are issues with converting video from the "pocket" HD cameras such as the Flip and Kodak Zi8, so it can be played on Apple TV. I don't mind making such a conversion if it's easy and doesn't require a big expenditure on additional software/ accessories.
    My set-up is: iTunes 9 on a Dell PC with Windows XP
    Apple TV (connected via wireless network)
    Samsung 52" LCD HDTV

I want quality video that can be easily downloaded into iTunes and played on Apple TV. I don't mind standard definition if it will still look good on a large HDTV. Two concerns I have with the HD cameras (other than price of course) are file storage issues, and the problems with converting the HD video files so they can be played on Apple TV. I don't mind doing such conversions, just as long as it's not too cumbersome and doesn't require a big expenditure on additional software or accessories. I actually just bought the Kodak Zi8, but it seems incompatable with iTunes, and I'm not really all that impressed with the image quality for an HD camera.

  • Importing VCR/DVD to Mac via video camera - HELP

    Hello,
    I'm trying to transfer video from a dvd/vcr combo into iMovie, and can't get it to work. I have a Samsung DVD Recorder and VCR (DVD-VR375), and a Sony HandyCam.
    I've tried pretty much everything that I can think of to get the video capture to work, but I get no picture, and no options to choose my Video Camera from the iMovie screen. I've also tried to burn the VCR tape to a dvd and then load the DVD into the Mac, but that isn't working either. I don't know if I'm not using the right dvd or what. I don't know if it might be that the Samsung player isn't compatible, and if that's the case, if anyone knows of a compatible player, please let me know.
    I'm very frustrated, so if you can help me out, it would be appreciated.
    Thanks in advance for your time!

    How did you do it? I'm trying to upload videos from a JVC-GR-72U Mini-DV into my MacBook via firewire. I'm ignorant to the creative world of Mac.

  • Best Affordable Reliable Video Camera for imovie

    Does anyone have suggestions for the most affordable and reliable video camera for imovie? I have tried to use an older model Samsung (w/mini-dvd), but, at best the uploads are 'quirky'!

    Hi Sheila,
    You still need to buy a miniDV camcorder if you want to capture your video into iMovie, without going through some conversion software, which will cause loss of quality of your image. Then just burn it to DVD, although the editing process can be a whole lot of fun, plus you can add music to your movie, if wanted.
    Check out the Panasonic line of miniDV cams and for lots of helpful info on all Panny cams, go to the following website. I don't work for Panasonic, by the way, just the proud owner of a superb GS-500 (discontinued- sorry).

  • FCP compatibility with Everio & new HD, HDD video cameras

    Hey, I have this beautiful list of hard drive/DVD+R hi def video cameras below. I'm set on the JVC Everio series, but i want to know from my fellow FCP users on how well these new AVCHD based cameras work in Final Cut. And is the 1920x1080 HD footage compressed or uncompressed and will I need to format the footage to DVCPROHD to reduce render times? I currently shoot with a Sony A1U, HDV based video camera and I am editing the 1080i based footage in native HDV on a Dual Core MacBook Pro. I have also converted the footage to DVCProHD on several occassions to reduce render times.
    1. Panasonic HDC-SX5
    2. Sony HDR-UX7
    3. Hitachi DZ-BD7H
    4. Canon HR10
    5. Samsung SC-HMX10
    6. Sony HDR-CX7
    7. Panasonic AG-HSC1
    8. Sony HDR-SR5
    9. Canon HG10
    10. JVC GZ-HD3
    11. JVC GZ-HD7
    12. JVC MG255
    13. JVC MG155
    14. JVC MG130

    HDV is highly compressed, probably compressed more than any other format any camera shoots. The format is an MPEG stream. (takes a long time to render effects etc with it, however FCP 6 improved it a bit. You can capture native via firewire, then render to ProRes faster... it's a setting found in the sequence's settings.
    There is a list of qualified devices for FCP here: http://www.apple.com/finalcutstudio/resources/devicelist.php
    Might take a peek there if no one can confirm that your camera of choice works.

  • 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.
