Transferring video from a camera

I bought got a panasonic DMC-ZR1 as a present and at first thought I would never shoot video with it but would like to try it. Is there a way to download it to my mac and using some third party software burn it to a dvd? This camera imports photos to iphoto fine but I know video is different. The format says motion JPEG not the Mac friendly AVCHD lite that some of the Panasonic cameras have. My wife has one of the intel based macs with iMovie 8 vs my iMovie 6HD if that would help. Thanks. I have one of the first flip video camcorders and was able to use that by converting files using a program called mpeg streamclip but I do not know if that would work here. Thanks.

What happens if you try to import the video file from the camera into iMovie?
(I think it should work.)

  • Transferring video from still camera

    I have taken some 30-40 minute videos with my Nikon still camera. I am unable to download these too my MacBook. I have tried image capture, iPhoto & Nikon's picture transfer software with no success. Pictures & smaller video (1-2 minutes) download perfectly. My new hard drive has ample space but how can I get these video files onto my mac? Could limited RAM be a problem?

    Download MPEG Streamclip (Use Google to find it).
    Import your clip into MPEG Streamclip and export as DV. DV is iMovie's native format. In your case, you need DV-NTSC. PAL countries use DV-PAL.

  • My friend's iPod touch 5th gen is locked somehow for 41 years and she does not have a backup. Is there a way to unlock the iPod without restoring it or loosing the pictures and videos from the camera roll?

    My friend's iPod touch 5th gen is locked somehow for 41 years  and she does not have a backup. Is there a way to unlock the iPod without restoring it or loosing the pictures and videos from the camera roll, the applications can be redownloaded and she had no music. Is there any known bug about ipods locking on their own because no one seemed to have tried to bypass the 4 digit code and it is locked for 26 million minutes.So thank you if anyone has any information or help for us.

    Your friend may have placed the ipod next to an object that repeatedly pressed the screen.  Under certain circumstances this can lead to what appears to the iTouch to be failed attempts to access the system.  After repeated failed attempts, the Touch increases the waiting time required for the password and may ultimately lock in the way you describe.
    It's been a while since this was posted, but this might be informative to someone else who finds themself in a similar predicament.

  • Transfering videos from Iphone 4 to laptop, the video is rotateed 90 degrees

    After transferring videos from Iphone to laptop, Why would the video be rotated 90 degrees?

    IIRC, the iPhone is configured that "normal orientation" for video recording is horizontal with the home button on the right.  If you are holding it in a different orientation, then that would be encoded in the EXIF data on the recirded video file.  Now if that file is edited and that EXIF data is removed or altered, then you could see what you are seeing.  It is also possible that the player yo uare playing the videos back in does not properly support the EXIF data embedded in the videos, which would have the same results.  When I record video on my iPhone 5, the playback on my Mac works properly.

  • I transferred video from iPhone (4S) to iPhoto and then to iMovie9.  Footage in iMovie is stretched.  Is there a way to fix that?

    I transferred video from iPhone (4S) to iPhoto and then dropped that footage into iMovie9.  The footage is there in iMovie but it is stretched.  I have tried to adjust using aspect ratio options but that doesn't work.  Is there a way to fix that in iMovie (or at any other point in the process)?

    It shouldn't be this way.  Did you shoot the video in portrait or landscape mode?  Many people shoot in portrait mode because they typically hold the phone upright.  This is really shouldn't happen if the videos are shot in landscape mode.

  • How do i transferring video from iphone to mac

    how do i transferring video from iphone to mac, i synced it but nothing shows up

    I don't believe OS X has the ability to receive AirPlay (which is what you're using).  There's some advice on the matter on the Wikipedia page, though:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AirTunes
    Scroll down to "Third-party software implementations".

  • 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

  • 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.

  • When I placed a video from my camera roll on my ipad to keynote on my ipad I lost sound how do you make sound work?

    When i placed a video from my camera roll on my ipad to my keynote presentation on my ipad I lost sound how do I get sound?

    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?

  • 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.
