Transferring camcorder video to Macbook Air 13"

Hello,
i have an old Panasonic 3ccd camcorder with many tapes that I was hoping to transfer to Imovie and edit, save etc. The USB hookup doesn't work and I guess there's no firewire connection.
Any suggestions?

Only the supplied software is incompatible with Mac, as it's Windows only, the camcorder itself will work perfectly well with a Mac.  Connect it up to your Mac and you can use iMovie instead.

  • How do I upload my videos from my panasonic HDD camcorder onto my macbook air?

    I am trying to upload videos from my panasonic HDD camcorder onto my macbook air. While it sees the photos that were taken on the camcorder, it does not seem to see the videos as when I select the import function it does not show anything listed under the camcorder when it is plugged into the macbook via usb. Thoughts? Do I need to convert the footage to something imovie can work with? If so, what program do I use and how do I do that. thanks so much. m

    You can move videos or photos taken with iPad by connecting your iPad camera to Dropbox.
    Or
    You can upload individual photos or video by selecting "open in"  and selecting Dropbox.   Save to Dropbox

  • Import slideshow video from Macbook Air

    I am trying to import a slideshow created in iPhoto and saved on my desktop as a .m4v file. I can see it there but can find no way to transfer it to my iPhone 5S (IOS 8.0.2) or to my iPad (2) iOS 8.0.2. I have tried to connect Air drop but it doesn't seem to connect them and the file is much too large to email. Neither are synched through iTunes to my MacBook Air (Mavericks OS X 10.9.5).
    Any suggestions would really be appreciated!

  • Video from MacBook Air camera looks stretched vertically. How can I change this?

    I just got a MacBook Air and it looks like whenever I use the camera for video chat or webcam, the results are really stretched vertically. This is driving me nuts since I have to be on client video calls and I look really silly.
    How do I fix this??

    The warranty entitles you to complimentary phone support for the first 90 days of ownership. If you bought the product in the U.S. directly from Apple (not from a reseller), you also have 14 days from the date of delivery in which to  exchange or return it for a refund. In other countries, the return policy may be different.

  • Live Camcorder Output To MacBook Air

    I have a Sony MC2000e camcorder and a November 2011 MacBook Air.
    I would like to livestream the output from the camera, as it is being recorded, into my MacBook Air.
    The camera has HDMI, and component output but no firewire.
    Can anyone give me some guidance as to what software or hardware I need in order to take the live camera output and stream it online?
    If there's a way of completely bypassing the MacBook I would.
    Grateful if you can help.
    Colin

    Thanks for the helpful clarification.

    If I understand what you want to do, you will need some compatilble HDMI to Thunderbolt connection.  Check your Apple retailer or other cable/connector source to be sure of what is compatible.
    If you do not already have it, you will also need software to do the streaming.  You can use the appropriate Apple's pro-level app for what you want to do or, if you want something a bit simpler to use, some third party software may meet your needs.

  • What is the best way to store videos using Macbook Air?

    I have a Macbook Air and I don't want to store videos on the hardrive because it will fill up fast.  I have a lot of videos - for people that also take a lot of videos - what is the best way in your opinion or best place to store video? For example, on a server, on a cloud server, etc?

    Ok, so do you have a recommend brand and space capacity?
    You mentioned that one of your primary needs is to store video, which demands large capacity. As a consequence I'd suggest a drive with at least 1Tb, perhaps greater, capacity. I don't have a preferred brand or manufacturer - it's a bit like recommending which is better between Ford and Chevy - but I have a couple of Western Digital external USB drives which have proven very reliable, and a Seagate which is used as a daily backup and has worked flawlessly.
    DWB's point about backups is important too, because when you store files on any drive there is a risk of that drive failing - and indeed, all drives will fail at some point. The question is, can you live with the total loss of those files if the drive does fail? If you are storing files that you value, then a backup is needed to help protect those files. Ideally that would mean two drives, not one. One to use for the storing the files, and the second to use to back those files up.

  • Elements v.9 is not transferring or installing on MacBook Air

    I recently transferred from Mаcbook Pro to Macbook Air using Migration Assistant. When I started Elements for the first time on MBAir, it said that something was wrong with the installed Elements and I should reinstall. First I used the Air's ability to use another computer's DVD drive (it has none itself). The installer failed. Then I used an outboard USB DVD drive, but the installer failed again. I then deleted the Elements on the new computer and tried to install again using the disk in the USB drive. It failed. If there is anybody there who can help, i'd very much appreciate it!

    You've posted on the 'Digital Editions' subforum by mistake.  Try the forum for Elements.   Good luck with more info there.

  • Editing HD video on Macbook Air 11"

    HI, I'm looking to buy a new computer have some questions about Macs. I've been using a PC for sometime now but it's really outdated and I need to upgrade. I'd like to upgrade to a Mac if it can be done for a reasonable amount of money. If not, I may have to stick with a PC. I've been looking at refurbished Macs and have been pleased to see a number of Mac Minis and Macbook Airs for under $900. I was especally interested in a 2011 Macbook Air 1.6ghz i5 with 4GB RAM and a 128GB SSD. I know it would be sufficent for my usual daily commputing (web browsing, office, itunes, word processing, etc...) but I'm also looking to get a 18MP DLSR that takes full HD video. I would only be putting together short (3-5min) videos occasionally, nothing to big. I realize the Macbook Pro would be much better suited for editing video but I'd rather spend the couple extra hundred dollars on a better camera or camera lenses.
    So, can the Macbook Air (even if it's not the fastest) do a reasonable job editing hi-def video?
    Additionally, I routinly edit RAW photos and use Photoshop Elements on my current desktop. I would like to get a Mini Display Port to VGA adapter for the Macbook Air so I could use my bigger Dell flatscreen. It's not to fancy (only 1280x1024 and 17") but it would be more fitting than the Air's screen for Photoshop/video work. Would it slow the Macbook's peformance much? 

    I've been editing 1080i footage from a sony NX5 on mine (which is a late 2010 core2duo 11")
    it's not the fastest but it works fine. The only real downside is rendering - which takes a while.
    I'm really happy with it though, it's not an editing powerhouse but it'll do me fine
    the i5+ models should be a lot nicer to work with.
    Still - use the external display if you can, final cut seems rather cramped on 1366x768.

  • How can I make sure fonts in a Keynote presentation developed on iMac will show/match when transferring the presentation to MacBook Air?

    It would seem (to me) this should not be an issue, but I have an iMac and MacBook Air with the identical version of OS (10.7.4) and Keynote ('09 5.1.1).  Yet, the fonts don't match.  Fonts I would regularly use when developing the presentation on the iMac do not transfer (create "Review" errors) to the Air.  How can I fix it so that all the fonts on iMac show on Air?

    If I am understanding your question correctly what you are wanting to achieve is not possible. You can't run the same keynote presentation on both devices at the same time. Also, why would you want to use the small screen size of the iPhone as your display instead of the iPad? If it is just to see your presenter notes then print them out and use the iPhone as your remote.
    Perhaps more info is needed so i fully understand your issue.

  • Transferring files off dead Macbook Air

    So I'm currently working on this persons' Macbook Air, and as far as I can see, the HDD s totally dead (DiskWarrior can't even do anything), but aside from the fact that it's practivally dead, I can't seem to find a way to get the files off of the HDD, though I can clearly see that they are still intact in Single User Mode.
    Does anybody have any advice for getting the files off of this computer?  It's a ~2009 Macbook Air with a ZIF HDD, so a SATA dock is out of the question >.>
    Thanks Guys.

    can try data recovery service to retrieve the data, some apple service providers offer this service for a fee
    if you have access to another mac you can also try target disk mode to get the data off the old mac, this article tells how to do that:

    hopefully one of these 2 options works for you

  • Transferring music to new Macbook Air

    WHat is the best way to transfer all my iTunes music, podcasts, etc., to my new Macbook Air from my old PC laptop? I have an external hard drive with all my backup on it, but it seems like it would be easier to do with my old iPod Classic, as it has everything I want on it.  How would I do this?
    Also, I am considering getting iTunes Match.  Would that work to transfer?  How do current users like Match?
    Many many thanks!

  • Cannot play you tube videos on macbook air why?

    Make sure you have the most up to date version of Flash installed.  Safari doesnt come with Flash installed when new, as Apple wants you to download the most up to date version of it from Adobe.
