Samsung -imovie

i have a samsung HD camcorder that is not listed as compatible on IMOVIE - am I out of luck?  Any options?

Samsung sc-x105l... nice toy, but definitely no video camera...
iMovie is a video edit app meant to work with firewire connected miniDV camcorders
.. no word about flash-mem based mpeg 'corders....
and:
fw miniDV don't need any addtional software installed to work with iMovie...
give iPhoto6 a try, recognizing files of your "camera"
iPhoto6 allows import of mpegs from still-cams/probabyl your camera...
import into iPhoto
try to catch files from iPhoto bin in iMovie
mpeg4 needs to be converted, poor resolution, poor pic quality.. no fun with iMovie

    Got a new video camera for Christmas, Samsung HMX-F80, it down loads pictures just fine, but videos I just can't get it to down load.  I was able to down load to my PC part no problem.
    MY Imac, System 10.5.8, Imovie 8  (7.1.4).   Do I need to upgrade?  Or what.
    Any help is appreciated.

  • Can i connect a Samsung VP-D381 to iMovie to import videos?

    I have recently bought a Samsung VP-D381 Mini DV camcorder, and have just tried to connect it to iMovie to import a video that i have just recorded, only to find that Samsung do not have any software or drivers for the Apple OS...
    I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on how i could get this to work?
    Thanks

    Hello,
    (I posted the same answer to a similar thread)
    I have the same camcorder and same issue, though with iMovie '09.
    Symptoms on my Samsung VP-D381 are :
    I can import when in Camera mode (live capture)
    I cannot import what has been recorded on tape (import window stays blue)
    I can forward and rewind and stop.
    I found a trick I hope will be useful for you :
    open iMovie.
    without connecting it yet, put your Panasonic on "Play".
    when video plays, plug the DV cable in.
    iMovie opens the video import window and then you should see the tape playing.
    press the "Import" button to capture the DV stream.
    Let me know if you find other ways to get it to work. I'm quite frustrated Samsung cannot make a DV camcorder work with iMovie, 14 years after DV went out!

  • *NO* Samsung camcorder supported in iMovie 10?

    I just upgraded to Mavericks and to iMovie 10.  Lo and behold, I see that NO Samsung camcorders are supported.  What the heck?  I've been using my Samsung HMX-H300BN in the previous version of iMovie with no issues.  Is there a reason NO Samsung camcorders are listed on the compatibility page?  Are there plans to add them?  Does camera support generally get added in subsequent releases?  It is really disheartening.  This is not an old camera at all.

    any camcorder using AVCHD (or 'antique' miniDV) is supported by iMovie.
    That list you're reflecting to, is only mentioning devices, Apple has tested.
    Apple can not tewst ANY camera on the market.
    There are also many popular cams from Sony, JVC, or Panasonic notl listed…
    … and 'Apple/Samsung'… hmmm?  rings a bell here …

  • I created a iMovie with photos, music and titles; shared it with the media browser and burned it on a DVD RDL. The disc will play on my MacBook Pro, but it will not play on my Samsung Blu-ray Disc Player or a smaller portable DVD player. Why?

    I created an iMovie with photos, music and titles; shared it with the media browser and burned it on a DV+RDL. The disc will play on my MacBook Pro, but it will not play on my Samsung Blu-ray Disc Player or a smaller portable DVD player. Why?

    Probably because they don't accept that media.
    Try using Verbatim DVD+DL (if your project exceeds 2 hours) or Verbatim DVD-R if it doesn't.

  • Can't get my samsung sc-d353 to work on imovie 09'

    I have a samsung sc-d353 camcorder and I can't get the video to convert to imovie 09' how can i fix this?

    Your camera is very confusing. It appears to use a proprietary Samsung format called SMP4. But it also appears to have a Firewire connection.
    It would be worth a try to get a firewire cable and connect to your camcorder through that. Firewire (IEEE1394) is a standard, and no special drivers are needed. If your Mac has Firewire 400, then you need a 6 pin to 4 pin FW Cable. If you have a newer Mac with only a FW800 port, you need a 9 pin to 4 pin FW cable.
    If that does not work, [see this long conversation about converting the SMP4|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7892755]

  • Imovie opens only audio, no video .AVI clips Samsung camcorder

    I am using the SD storage with USB transfer on the Samsung SC-D363. the window opens and the files transfer fine, but video is missing. Maybe only DV tapes can be used to tranfer video to my mac?

    I can't find any reference anywhere to a Samsung SC-D363 ..perhaps there's an error in the model name or number.
    Any device which creates videos on SD storage should automatically copy them into iPhoto when you start that up with the device connected via USB.
    Or, if that doesn't work, connect the Samsung and look in your Mac's 'Applications' folder for the 'Image Capture' program: that should recognise the camera and import from the SD card.
    With either of those methods - but especially with iPhoto - any movies which are playable in iMovie can then be imported from iPhoto.
    iMovie can play MPEG-4 videos (..mini videos which have been saved in MPEG-4 format ..see your Samsung's instruction book to find out what format the camera uses for movies..) and it can play some .avi and other movie formats. In some cases, though, you might find that the video plays OK, but there's no sound. In those cases you could try playing the movie(s) using the QuickTime program.
    If your Samsung is a normal DV camcorder which also saves mini-movies to the SD card, then you'll be able to use a USB cable to copy the mini-movies, as described above, but you'll need a FireWire/DV/i.Link (different names for the same thing) 4-pin-to-six-pin cable to copy normal DV video from the camcorder to your Mac.

  • 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?

  • How to get Samsung F34BN movies into iMovie

    I just got a Samsung F34BN for Christmas and I can't see from the instructions how to import its movies into iMovie (either 6, 8, or 9). Help OB1, your my only hope

    I have a samsung hmx-h100...try this...if the camcorder came with windows software, turn it off in the camera's menu setting...if it has a memory card (like mine), once you've taken your video, connect the usb cable to your mac...the camera should mount on your desktop...double click the samsung icon, navigate to the video folder, and you should see your video clips...drag them onto the desktop...then open up your version of imovie, click import, and select the clips on your desktop...I had various degree of success doing that with imovie 6...imovie 8 handled it well...the other thing you can do if you want to use imovie 6 is use MPEG Streamclip, drag your clips into it, then export to quicktime...you should then be able to import your quicktime movie into imovie 6 and edit...

  • Akward Samsung HMX10 workflow and IMovie 08

    This is the workflow I have for bringing video clips from an Samsung HMX10 into IMovie.
    1. plug in camera.
    2. Wait for imovie to recognize the clips.
    3. Cancel IMovies suggestion to import the clips
    4. Move the clips from the USB drive to a "cliptray folder" (Imovie won't delete them after import if they are on a USB drive)
    5. Import the clips into Imovie. DONT STOP HERE.
    6. Restart IMovie.
    As far as I can tell, I can't script most of this as IMovie doesn't have an apple script interface I am aware of. Maybe F-Script?
    Can anyone suggest a simpler way?

    Unfortunately, Samsung camcorders are not on the supported list. You are doing well to find a way to make it work.
    You are correct that iMovie 7 does not have applescript or automator interfaces. I don't know a workaround.

  • Hi, haven't used iMovie in years.  I shot some video with my cell phone camera (Samsung Galaxy S2).  When I tried to make a movie, the clips I downloaded played back sideways on iMovie.  Is there any way I an flip the video from horizontal to vertical?

    Hi, haven't used iMovie in years.  I shot some video with my cell phone camera (Samsung Galaxy S2).  When I tried to make a movie, the clips I downloaded played back sideways on iMovie.  Is there any way I an flip the video from horizontal to vertical?  Thanks.

    You actually want a vertical video??
    What would you show that on?!
    Rotating video or photos in iMovie 11:

    In earlier versions of iMovie you can also do this using Quicktime Pro 7:
    Open MOV file in QT Pro (QT 7.6.6)
    Window -> Show Movie Properties
    select "Video Track"
    select "Visual Settings" from lower window
    check "Preserve Aspect Ratio"
    Click on appropriate rotation icon (MOV rotates!)
    Click back on the open MOV in Player Window
    FILE -> Save
    You can also do this using TransformMovie, available here:

  • 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
