TS3634 Help, how to importing video in iMovie'11

I am using the Sony Handycam HDR-HC 9
OS X 10.8.4, MacBoo Pro early 2011
iMovie'11
I want to import the video shot with the Handycam into iMovie. The cable I am using is iLink to FireWire 800.
When I put the camera mode in to edit/play and I plug in the cable I excpected to be able to import the HDV into the iMovie.
It does not work, and I must say not any more.
About 6 months ago I did import  video from the same camera to the sam iMovie Aplication on the same MacBook Pro
I could chose the import from and select the Handi cam etc. and I cpuld control from iMovie the handycam.
Recvently I wanted to import clips from the camera to my computer again and I was unableto do so.
In the iMovie app. I am unable to select the camera, in the view finder of the camera it only shows HDV in when I plug in the iLink cable.
The omly thing that has changed in the last 7 months since i last imported movie clips is OSX updates and iLive updates.
could this be the reason?
If so how can I correct this and import clips again from the camera.
Will realy appreciated if anybody can help me solve this problem.
Thank you.

Ok
I tried that but no go.
In the handy cam viewer as soon as I plug in the cabe it shows HDV out iLink and immediatly changes to HDV in iLink. I assume that the cable is right than.
I have no possiblety jet to check the cable but it is only 6 months old and not used much.
The port on the MacBook pro is ok I used a firewire 800 external drive and it shows up an I can browse the disk.
Regards

    If you can the video clips onto your computer you can use mpegStreamclip:
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/video/mpegstreamclip.html
    which is free, but you must also have the Apple mpeg2 plugin :
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/
    which is a mere $20.
    Another possibility is to use DVDxDV:

    which costs $25.

  • How to import videos from iPhone 4 to PC?

    I'm trying to get a video that I recorded and edited with my iPhone 4 and iMovie, on my PC so I can share it with others. It won't email because the file size is too big (but the video is only 1:20...) and I uploaded it to YouTube but they removed the audio because it's copyright infringment. I've going through My Computer and a few other things and all the photos get imported but when I try and play an imported video it won't load and just freezes. Any tips?

    Thanks for the reply with additional details.
    In order to help you with the Elements Organizer 13 and Premiere Elements 13 issues, we need details of that video from iMovie.
    You should be able to get the important details of the iMovie video by telling us the export settings that you used for the iMovie export.
    Minimum information..
    Video Compression
    Audio Compression
    File Extension
    Frame Size
    First, update Premiere Elements 13 and Elements Organizer 13 each to the 13.1 Update (See Help Menu/Update in an opened
    Premiere Elements 13 project.)
    We will be watching for further details in order to plan and carry out troubleshooting strategy.
    Thank you.

  • How to import video frames as layers in Photoshop?

    How to import video as layers in PhotoshopCS3. When I press "Import Video Frames To Layers", an error message pops up: Could not complete the Video Frames to Layers command because the QuickTime version 7.1 or later is required." I've already installed and updated QuickTime Player, but this message persists. I'm currently running QuickTime version 7.7.5. Thank you for your help.

    Thank you R_Kelky for your reply.
    I'm running Windows 8.1. I do see the QuickTimeGlue.dll file as you stated.
    I have actually found a solution to my question. Since QuickTime 7.7.5 might be too new, I tried installing QuickTime 7.1 and the message went away. But now I run into a new problem: only .avi and a few .mov files can be uploaded correctly. When I try to upload other common video formats like .mp4, .m4v, etc, then the layers just come out as black, white, and sometimes green layers. The preview window where I drag the range length of video I want to import as layers is also blank as black, white, or sometimes green. You have any ideas what's causing this? At times, I cant even see the preview, I just get a new error message: "Could not complete the Video Frames to Layers command because the file name was not valid."
    Thank you for your help.

  • Hi, Importing video into iMovie from Windows XP

    Can anyone give me advice or point me to an instruction manual on how to import videos from Windows XP into iMovie.
    I would probably use MPEG Streamclip (free) for this. There are versions for both Mac and PC platforms and if the PC version works the same as the Mac version, it will allow you to convert your files to DV, AIC, Motion-JPEG, MPEG-4, or H.264 video with Linear PCM, MPEG-4 (AAC), or other audio compression formats know to be accepted by iMovie '08.

  • Importing Video into iMovie using Mac the Ripper

    How do I import video into iMovie using Mac the Ripper? I ripped the video content onto my computer but it was not converted into a file that I can import.

    I think it's trend for all users since we can get more funny from digital life. Also it's necessary sometimes for us to save our video or dvd files with other methods, i have no idea but use something like converters.To my experience, mactheripper is not what you want,maybe you can try this dvd ripper for mac.Maybe ripper is illegal, but i just get my oringinal files, and i want to do more with it, that's just it!

  • How to import Video to Aperture?

    How to import Video from Sony alpha nex-7  to Aperture?

    See:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5301
    Support for AVCHD was not added to Aperture until version 3.3, which requires 10.7.x to run.
    But iMovie should work with your camera if you do not plan to upgrade to Aperture 3.3.x

  • How to import video into adobe muse?

    how to import video into adobe muse?

    If you want to embed videos in your muse site, without using a service like youtube or vimeo, then you will need to manually upload the video files on the server and use them via the video tag available in html5, HTML5 Video
    To insert the video tags in your muse pages, you will need to use the 'Object -> Insert HTML' option.
    Since this option is not available in Muse, out of the box, I will recommend that you post this on our ideas section over here, https://forums.adobe.com/community/muse/ideas, and let our devs team know of this requirement.
