The video from my camera doesn't appear in the iMovie monito

Hi,
I'm working imovie 5.0.2 (111) and i just got a new sony DCR-PC55.
I'm trying to import video from my camera and The video doesn't appear in the iMovie monitor. my camera set to VTR mode and i'm connected with FireWire cable as always.
PLEASE HELP!!!!

I have found a solution. A google search of "iMovie HD problems" turned up this link
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/vt3/10228
Seemed weird but it worked. Basically it said it is a Core Audio problem that can be cured by opening Garageband and playing a few notes with the keyboard window. I had to do this a few times but eventually iMovie import worked. I even left Garageband open and switched back and forth between it and iMovie. I am next going to open the quicktime video of the iPod announcement from earlier this week as I was having problems getting any audio with the video when I used quicktime.
Hope this is helpful. I am importing video footage as I type this.

HT2479 My Macbook Pro is not letting me import videos from my camera or usb to work on iMovie. How can I fix this?

I recently bought a Macbook Pro because I like working with imovie. The first day that I started working on imovie, I imported some videos from my camera to the computer with no problem. But after I closed imovie and started working on that same project the very next day, the videos were not saved. The editing and music of my videos were saved but the videos wouldn't show. So, I tried to import my videos again and the computer did not let me. I turned off the computer and after a week I tried to import other videos and when I press the import button, it doesn't do anything. How can I fix this? I have version Ox 10.9

What happens when you try to download the new iPhoto and iMovie? Do you get any message and if so what is it? What do you mean by "theft of my iPhoto or iMovie"? Who do you think stole them?
One trick to try is to move the iPhoto and iMovie apps to the Trash in the Dock but don't empty as yet. Then go to the App Store and try to download the apps again.

How to upload photos and videos from a camera via an SD Reader after the iOS7 upgrade?

Since uploading iOS7 I have also found that my iPad2 will not upload from my SD card reader (in this case Model A1362). With iOS6 it worked perfectly. I also cannot now upload videos using iTunes, only photos.
This is a major loss of functionality for me since, when travelling, I would upload pictures and videos from my camera to the iPad, edit them on the iPad, and then post them on social media. It also acted as a backup in case the SD card was damaged or lost.

Mine works now too. Maybe it was the upgrade to iOS 7.0.2? Or maybe it had something to do with changing SD cards? I was using a high performance 4GB card, switched to a standard 2GB card and it worked and now appears to work with the 4GB cards as well (standard and high performance).
Go figure.

Can now with imovie 1.2.2 and iOS5 edit 1080p high definition videos from DSLR cameras like the EOS 5D Mark II on ipad 2?

That would be great, you would open the door to professional video editing ipad 2. Is there an accepted camera list?.

There does not appear to be a list yet.

Is it possible to stream live video from a camera to an iPad3 via bluetooth or a cable?

Is it possible to stream live video from a camera to an iPad3 via bluetooth or a cable?
I want to use my iPad as a screen for a reversing camera in my van and want to know if this is possible. do i need a bluetooth camera and is there a specific one that will connect to the iPad? Or is there any form of adaptor that I can plug the camera straight into the iPad?
Any ideas?

no
only "live" thing one can do is to airplay mirror the screen of a ios device or a newer mac with mtn lion

Not sure of the answer, but does the sound disappear when it was added to the photo roll, or when you try to import it into Keynote?

Photos/videos in the Camera Roll can be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera.
If you use iPhoto for this with any other digital camera, you can use iPhoto for this. Or you can use the Image Capture application for the import if you don't use iPhoto.

I cannot get CS6 to recognize my Sony DCR-TRV340 camera for capturing video from that camera. The CS6 capture box keeps putting up a message that capture device is off line. The Sony DCR-TRV340 camera is not listed in the CS6 Device Type list in the CS6 DV/HDV device control settings box of Sony cameras. I've downloaded what I think are the correct drivers for the TRV340, and when I plug the camera into the computer, the computer shows it listed in the devices and printers box, but CS6 will not recognize it. Do I need to install these drivers into a specific folder in the CS6 program? If so, where do I find these drivers in the windows 7 professional operating system, and into which CS6 file folder would I copy them to?

Most camera's are not listed in Device controle, set it to Sony and generic. Yours is very old its a Digital 8 camera (I still got a TRV210). Johns second link wont work with your camera.
You do not need to download drivers nor do you need to install anything. Most likely its the Legacy driver.
Read though this document.

General rule is connect camera to pc wait until windows reconigzes the camera.
Fire up Premiere and capture.
Never connect the camera to pc when the camera is on.

I can't import and view videos from a camera.

I can't import and view videos from a camera. Even if I open the file and copy the .avi files onto the hard drive. I have tried iMovie, Quicktime, and Flip player. Flip player will open it but I only get the audio, Quicktime freezes, and iPhoto tries to automatically import only to then error saying the files are not compatible.

Hello Hese,
try the following:
1. delete preferences (com.apple.iMovie.plist) and empty the trash
2. repair disc permissions with Disc Utility and reboot your mac
3. use Diskwarrior or MacJanitor for disc clean-up
4. disconnect any other firewire devices
5. take off any non-system desktop pictures
If nothing else helps, you might want to consider resetting your Firewire port(s)

Editing a movie with video from two camera angles

I made video of the home birth of our third child using a miniDV and a Nisis DV6 camera. The DV6 has very lousy sound, but some of the DV6 video was critical to use for a period of time. I imported the overlapping clips, exported the audio on both, muted the DV6 audio, then moved the audio from the miniDV clip so it lined up with the DV6 audio. With a little more fading in/out on the audio from the two tracks I seemlessly/gracefully switch camera angles and preserved good audio.
I have a comment (a wishlist item) and a question. I wish I would have had the ability to take the two overlapping video clips, line up the audio waveforms and at the same time overlap the video clips on the timeline. I wish I could have then played both clips at the same time with the ability to switch between the two camera angles. I would take the ability to view both camera angles without the ability to switch between camera angles in real time, but then I'd wish I had the ability to specify which clip to use at any point in the timeline rather than having to manually insert the video from one camera angle or the other the other then insert a transition. Does any Apple-compatible video editing software thats provide some or all of the capability I desire? If Apple software developers are out there I hope you think this might be another great innovation.

As David and Karsten said: FinalCut Express is really the software, you are looking for. I have only worked with it twice (unfortunately I am still waiting for my - first - Mac now for two weeks, so as a Win-user I had no chance to have a more intensive look on FCE). But it is a great program.
What David said about the learning: It is quite easy. I have learned digital video editing on Adobe Premiere and on a Avid-machine, which is nearly the same as handling FinalCut. You'll perhaps need one evening. But after that you'll have the basic knowledge for editing your videos. The rest comes step by step. It is just learning-by-doing.
Another advice: Adobe Premiere Elements is also a good program for what your want to do. But it is much cheaper and a bit easier to learn. For editing simple home-movies perhaps the better choice. It has even a build-in DVD-authoring.

Import Video from old camera with s-video output

is it possible to download video from a camera with an s-video output?

There is a gadget called an EyeTV Hybrid from ElGato that will let you capture from S-Video.
