Transferring video from Panasonic NV-GS300 to imovie

We have hours of video footage on tape from our Panasonic NV-GS300 video camera but have no idea how to transfer it to our Mac Book Pro. I would be grateful for advice on what cables/leads I need and how I actually make the transfer - if it is possible. Many thanks in anticipation.

For a start you need a FireWire cable with a 4 pin connector for the camera and a suitable connector for the socket in your MBP, which could be a FW400 (6 pin) or FW800 (9 pin).

Impossible to import videos from Panasonic SDR s26 to iMovie 09, previously no problem. Why?

Impossible to import videos from Panasonic SDR s26 to iMovie 09, previously no problem. Any way to solve this problem?

I don't have your model but here are some things to try.
1) Make sure you are powering the camcorder with AC power not batteries.
2) Open iMovie before connecting the Camcorder
3) Connect the USB Cable and turn on the camcorder
4) Open the LCD screen of the camcorder. Does it give you a choice of Pictbridge vs. PC Mode. If so, choose PC Mode.
5) iMovie import screen should come up.
Also, make sure you have installed all software updates. (/Software Update). If the software update requires you to restart your Mac, then restart your Mac before proceeding. Install iMovie, iLife, Quicktime, and Leopard updates.
If that still does not work, try taking out your SD card and putting in a USB card reader.
If that still does not work, put the card back in the camcorder and make a disk image of the card using disk utility. After making the disk image, try formatting the card using your camcorder menu. Then retry shooting some footage and importing.
By the way, using MPEG streamclip should not create files any larger than iMovie will create using an import function.

Have you checked that your Easy Setup is correct and has not altered?
With the camera connected and switched on in VTR mode, go to View>Video Out and click "Refresh Audio/Video Devices".

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.

Transfer videos from SanDisk memory card to imovie

I am having problems transfering videos from my memory card (SanDisk) to imovie. I have watched the tutorials and they dont seem to help.

Mount the card to the desktop in a card reader or your camera if it mounts and drag them to a folder - right click on the folder and burn to Disk
Or import to iPhoto and export as kind = original to a desktop folder and burn that

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.

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:

Scroll down to "Third-party software implementations".

How do i import video from my sony cx130 to imovie

how do i import video from my sony cx130 to imovie?

Follow the steps below to troubleshoot if the computer does not recognize the USB connection from the camcorder.
Turn off the camcorder.
Ensure the USB cable is connected securely to the camcorder.
Ensure the other end of the USB cable is connected securely to the USB port on the computer. NOTE: Connection through a USB hub is not supported.
With the exception of the mouse, keyboard, and camcorder, remove any other USB connected devices from the computer.
Turn on the camcorder.
On the camcorder LCD screen, touch the computer or hard disk icon.
If the issue is still not resolved, connect the USB cable to a different USB port on the computer.
If the issue is still not resolved, try uninstalling and reinstalling the USB driver.
If the issue is still not resolved, test the USB port on the computer by connecting a different USB device.

Connect the iPhone to your Mac with its USB cable and launch iPhoto. In iPhoto you can select which files to upload into the library. Once in the library export them out of iPhoto to a folder on the Desktop via File ➙ Export ➙ File Export with Kind=Original. That will give you copies of the videos in the folder for use outside of iPhoto.
If you want to bypass importing into iPhoto try launching Image Capture and manually upload the selected video files to the folder of your choice.

Trouble Imprting video from canon hg 10 to imovie 08

Hi, I am having trouble importing video from my canon hg10 to imovie 08. When I try to import video imovie 08 tells me my camera is not connected even though it is. The canon hdd appears on the desktop. I have an intel core duo mac mini and have updated imovie 08 to v. 7.1. Any ideas would be much appreciated, Thanks.

Hope you all had a great Christmas.
Now back to the problem at hand. Nathan, did you get your Mac to recognize the camera.
I spend 2 hrs. with Apple Care x-mas morning, had to cut them off 'cause my children wanted to open their presents. Recorded them on my HG-10. Haven't had a chance to call back to continue case.
I want to find a solution, before having to go to the extreme of initializing the drive in camera.
Anyone?

Problems transferring video from iTunes to iPad

Can anyone help with transferring video from iTunes across to an iPad. This has worked smoothly in the past but now nothing seems to transfer across. Within iTunes on my computer, I've opened the iPad and chosen a new movie to transfer (ticking the box adjacent to the film). There apperas to be plenty of space left on the iPad (currently 3.98GB) .Then I've clicked Sync. At the top of the iTunes window, the iPad is shown as syncing (very quickly) but when I check on the ipad, the movie hasn't transferred.
Next, I've disconneceted the iPad from iTunes and restarted it - I've also tried restarting within iTunes - then reconnected to my computer and tried a fresh Sync. Same problem; the movie won't transfer. On the list of movies shown in iTunes as being on my iPad, the new movie shows up (albeit in grey - so not loaded). As it's not displaying in videos on the iPad, I can't delete it to start afresh.
Any suggestions welcome....

Thanks for the link. As noted I've managed the transfer on many occasions before, but for some reason the iPad and iTunes no longer feel like syncing. I did finally manage the transfer by restarting the computer (as well as the iPad) then trying to Sync the iPad. It shouldn't be such an issue however!
With regard to the home sharing, point taken but my wifi doesn't reach the room where I want to watch the movie on the iPad. This option doesn't work for me...

Transferring video from imovie to dvd

so i imported some live music video from a camcorder into imovie, where it is now saved as an event. the problem i'm having now is, how do i burn it to dvd? can i just burn it straight to dvd without using iDVD? i've tried opening iDVD and bringing the footage over from imovie, however, there is nothing intuitive about this process. both programs seem to want me to create a "movie" to make them work, which i do not have the time or patience for. i just need to burn this raw footage onto a dvd asap so i can mail it to a professional editor who can run it through final cut. this is a time sensitive mission and i'm at my wit's end -- HELP?!
thanks so much,
jy in s.d.

Q: can i just burn it straight to dvd without using iDVD?
A: You can burn directly to dvd-r ... however you must use iDvd's One Step procedure. You can do this directly from the camera or from a QT movie / folder located on your hard drive. Does the camera / camcorder you use have firewire? If so, it makes the entire One Step process very streamlined.
Click Here
To burn a OneStep DVD:
Insert the DV tape with your movie or footage into your camcorder.
Connect the camcorder to your computer using a FireWire cable.
If your camcorder uses a dock, put the camcorder in the dock and connect the dock to your computer. See your camcorder’s instructions if you’re not sure how to do this.
Switch your camcorder to VTR, VCR, or Play mode. If necessary, turn your camcorder on.
Open iDVD and click OneStep DVD. Or choose File > OneStep DVD.
Insert a blank DVD disc into your computer’s SuperDrive or external DVD burner when you are prompted to do so.
See the following to burn from a movie located on your hard drive:

Hope this helps but if not just come on back.

Capture Video from Panasonic AG-HMC40

I am having trouble capturing video from my camera - Panasonic AG-HMC40 HD camera
I keep getting a message: Capture Device Offline.
I am able to capture from iMovie and Final Cut X....
Does anyone know the correct capture settings?

You don't have to capture. You ingest.
IE: Copy files from your camera memory card onto your hard drive using the media browser.
See extract from Adobe Help below:
Import assets from file-based sources with Media Browser
You can import assets into Premiere Pro directly from tapeless media. However, it is more efficient to transfer tapeless media contents to a hard disk before importing. Also, playback performance is much better from a dedicated internal hard drive or RAID than from a camera or memory card reader.
Use the Media Browser, instead of File > Import, to import files from tapeless sources. The Media Browser assembles the relevant files into coherent clips, and does not import irrelevant non-media files sometimes found in the folders of tapeless media.
(Optional) Transfer the entire contents of one or more P2 cards, Sony Compact Flash cards, XDCAM media, XDCAM EX SxS cards, hard disk camcorders, DVDs, or AVCHD media to a hard disk. For information about transferring these media, see About transferring files.
Note: For XDCAM EX, copy the entire BPAV folder and its contents, not just one MP4 file at a time.
If the Media Browser is not already open, select Window > Media Browser. Note: You can dock or group the Media Browser like any other panel in Premiere Pro.
Browse to the folder containing the media files. The Media Browser shows a thumbnail or icon (depending on the format) and shot name for each shot in the folder. The Media Browser automatically aggregates spanned clips and shot metadata from the subfolders into single clips for any of these formats. The Media Browser shows different sets of metadata for different formats.
(Optional) To preview a shot before importing it, double-click the shot in the Media Browser. Premiere Pro plays the clip in the Source Monitor without importing it into the Project panel.
Either select File > Import From Browser, drag clips from the Media Browser into the Project panel, or drag clips from the Media Browser into a timeline.
The asset or assets are imported into the Project panel as whole clips.
