Transfer videos to Mac

What is the best way to get my videos shot with my VIXIA camera onto my MacBook Pro?

"the software transfers?" do you mean that using the canon software you can transfer the files? If so, than the original question by the original contributor has been answered. If you are asking a new question on what to do with the files, you can "import" from the camera directly into iMovie without making duplicate files or you can "move" or "copy" the files. If you are going to use something else that costs more money like Premiere Elements you may also want to consider Final Cut in the app store or Avid. If your objective is just to get video files from a vixia camera to a MacBook than any one of these solutions will work. The "best" is what works for you and your budget.

Cable needed to transfer video to Mac?

Hi all,
In a few days I am purchasing a Macbook which (among MANY other things), I will be using to occasionally edit homemade video(nothing hardcore, just the general, 'cut this part', 'add music to this part' and so on). I just need to know what kind of cable I need that goes from the Digital Video Camera to my Macbook. Thanks!

I've got a Panasonic PV- GS15 MiniDV camcorder. It has a mini USB slot and a slot with 4 pins and written above it is i.DV. Should this camcorder work? I am planning on purchasing this cable if the camera is in fact compatible.

The best way to transfer videos between devices and mac?

I have an iphone 4s, ipad and a macbook pro - is there any way to transfer videos wirelessly betwen these platforms?
As far as I know icloud only allows photostream of photos only but nit videos. This is quite inconvenient for video users as I normally take videos using my iphone 4s and would like to edit using ipad/mac's iMovie. I suppose I could transfer videos using a wire between iphone and Mac (still a PAIN without being able to transfer wirelessly), and what about between iphone and ipad? I understand Apple might be concerned about storage and speed for video transfer via icloud, if we could selectively do the transfer and have the option to delete them from icloud after the transfer it will be very much easier for video editor like myself.
Or have I just missed something? Is there indeed a way to do so??

If you want to transfer photos and videos from the Mac to the iPhone (but not in the other direction) you can use iTunes and sync via wi-fi: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1386
If you want to wirelessly tranfer videos in the other direction you may want to look into a 3rd party app such as http://www.photosync-app.com Note that I have not used that app so be sure to investigate others as well.

How to transfer video files from Sony Handycam DCR-SR42 to Mac?

How do i transfer video files from a Sony Handycam DCR-SR42 to Mac?

First suggestion would be to read your manual that came with the camea for proper cable use for transfer. The iMac has a FW800 port and also USB2.0 port. Once connected you can import them into iMove and edit them from there. Some Sony codecs may require converting.
Firewire Cable is first needful thing.

HT4792 How to transfer video files from my ipad to mac?

I recorded a video of my daughters ballet recital on my company's ipad. I would like to transfer it to my mac or pc and delete it from ipad? Can I do this?

Connect your iPad to your Mac, then turn the iPad on. If the iPad is locked with a passcode, enter it.
In Image Capture, select iPad in the Devices list.
Use the buttons at the bottom of the Image Capture window to view the thumbnails as a list or as icons to change the size of the thumbnails, or to rotate or delete images.
From the Import To pop-up menu, choose where to save the images or which app to use to open the image.
To import only some of the photos, select those photos, then click Import. To import all the photos, click Import All.
Choose AutoImporter from the “Connecting this [device] opens” pop-up menu to transfer images from a device to your computer whenever you connect it to your computer.
Select “Delete after Import” to remove the items from the iPad after transferring them to your computer. You can also select individual items on your iPad, then press the Delete key on your keyboard.
You can also transfer videos from iPhone to Mac with the above way.

How to transfer video in ipad2's Video App to Mac/PC?

Hi,
My friend who borrowed my ipad2 for quiet sometime, has made and inserted a special thanks video into the Video app in my ipad.
This ipad is synced to his computer all along.
And now, when i want to do a backup to my own computer, i couldnt figure out how to transfer that particular video.
I've tried using iPhoto, This could only detect and copied the videos that shown in Photos App - Camera Roll.
When i try to 'Tick' the Sync Videos/Movies from iTunes, it says that all music and videos that is currently in my ipad will be removed.
Thus I cancel this option.
I really wanted to keep a copy of this video before i pass this ipad for my family.
Is there any way for me to do this video transfer to either Mac or PC platform as long as it works?

If the macBook Pro will not read the card/files then you might need a converter, check out:

You don't. File transfer, by Bluetooth, has never been supported on any iPhone. To import pics/videos in your camera roll, read here:

ICloud won't let me transfer videos from iPhone to my Mac!

Prior to upgrading my Iphone to IOS5 and Icloud, videos I shot on the phone were automatically transferred to my Mac when I plugged it in. Now, I can't seem to get them to transfer to my Mac, and a bunch of them are "stuck" on the Iphone. What am I doing wrong??

In IPhoto 9.3.2 on MacBook Pro, I've found one way that works:
1. Open the video in IPhoto
2. Share
3. Facebook
4. Wall

On the iPad from the computer does not make sense. If you want to go from iPad to computer - connect the iPad, launch iTunes, right click the iPad name on the left under devices and select Transfer Purchases.
From the computer to the iPad .....
Sync with iTunes.
Connect the iPad to the Mac and launch iTunes.
Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
Click on the Movies Tab on the right.
Click on all of the movies that you want to sync to the iPad.
Click on the Sync Movies Heading.
Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes

Transfer video from 8mm tape onto a Mac

Hello.
This has already been discussed and the discussion is now archived so I can't post a question there. I just want to be clear:
In order to transfer video tape media onto a computer for viewing/editing an interface in between the tape player and the recording computer is needed.
There are two paths available:
One that will simply transfer the content of the media onto a computer with limited to no editing capability, and one that will convert the tape content into digital format before storing on the computer in which case more editing capability through iDVD will be available.
Cheap path: Eye TV or equivalent.
Professional path: Canopus ADVC-110 or equivalent.
Have I got it right?
Thanks.
Farzad

I do lots of this.
ADVC300 > iMovie 06 > iDVD 09 / 11
The program that comes with the ADVC300 has some nice filters that can improve video and audio of the source material. The ADVC300 will take Audio and Video from any source and convert it to FireWire (iMovie will treat it like a camera).
http://www.grassvalley.com/products/advc300
I would use iMovie 06 with iDVD 09/11.
iMovie 11 uses 'single field processing' meaning every other horizontal line of the video is thrown out, which reduces the sharpness of the footage. iMovie 06 uses ALL of the image to form the video.
Your workflow is editing DV clips and making DVDs, so iMovie 06 is better suited. Your movie will arrive at iDVD in DV format, which is an ideal match for making a DVD: same resolution, same pixels aspect ratio, and original quality. If you share your movie from iMovie 09, it gets re-rendered at 640x480 or less, and then iDVD upscales it back to 720x480. The end result is obviously not as good.
iMovie 06 and iDVD 09/11 is a "lossless" combination.
