TZ20 (ZS10) import videos on iPad 2 via camera connection kit?

I have a Panasonic TZ20 (ZZ10) which takes HD movies in AVC format (.mts files).
I have an iPad 2 and am thinking of getting the camera connection kit and iMovie for iOS. My question is I know the. CCK will import full resolution the still photos, but will it also import the videos, and can I then import them to iMovie for editing? I want to use this direct method, ie TZ20>CCK>iPad 2>iMovie.
Has anyone had success in importing videos via CCK from a compact camera? Do they play fine on iPad 2? Can you see them in photo/video roll? Do they have to be converted via iPad 2 import 1st?
Cheers

...will it also import the videos, and can I then import them to iMovie for editing? I want to use this direct method, ie TZ20>CCK>iPad 2>iMovie.
No.
iMovie for iOS ONLY work for video shot on an ipod, iPhone or iPad.
Or video converted to a format that is the same as that shot by iOS devices.
Has anyone had success in importing videos via CCK from a compact camera?
I have tried, but it just does not accept video that is not mp4, 720P.
You will have to convert on a computer.
And while you are there you might as well edit it on the computer as it has more space, more speed, and can edit better.

AVI videos from iTunes don't sync/play on iPad, but via Camera Connection Kit - YES

I synced about 100 events (containing both photos as well as .avi "video" files) from my MacBook Pro-13" (10.6.8) to my new iPad 3. NONE of the avi files transferred, but then I kinda expected this as I understand iPad can only play m4e or MP4 video formats.
BUT then I transferred an avi file from an SD card using the Camera Connection Kit - and the video played just fine! I'm going to redo this -- the 58 second video appears in the videos section of my iPad under "movies".
Can anyone explain why this worked via the Camera Connection Kit but not via iTunes - and indeed why the avi file plays at all on the iPad?
Thanks.

Thanks for your comment – but my issue is not with pirated or other movie video from the www, rather (as Menneisyys points-out) with videos I take with my Nikon Coolshot camera. What has perplexed me is this:

Why on the same iPad with the same .avi video does it transfer via the CCK and play on the iPad, but not via an iTunes transfer.
PERHAPS THIS?!: The .avi movie NEVER MAKES IT into iTunes because iTunes cannot play an avi movie; therefore if it is not there, it can't be transferred. That must be it or something like that. (The avi movie I transfer from my Nikon is in iPhoto - and it plays in iPhoto - but since photo and video transfers to the iPad go via iTunes, and iTunes apparently can't bring-in avi, then it cannot act as the "bridge" in the way the CCK does.
Is that it?
Thanks everyone for any comments.

Can anyone help me move video from Sony HDR-XR550 to ipad 3gs via camera connector kit?

Can anyone help me move video from a Sony HDR-XR550 to ipad 3g via camera connector kit?

You can use iPhoto for the import. iLife apps are integrated. From within iMovie you have direct access to iTunes for adding music, and iPhoto for photos and videos in the iPhoto library.
Or you can use the Image Capture application for the import if you prefer placing such imports into manually created folders and not using iPhoto.

See this article: iPad: Using the iPad Camera Connection Kit
No, this canot be done, afaik. When your camera or card is connected, you will see the thumbnails in the camera pane, but not full size preview. So to browse your photos on the iPad you will need to import them to your camera roll. But you need not delete them from the camera or card after importing, so you might simply import selected photos to your camera roll from the camera grid and then delete them again from the camera roll after importing and browsing, without removing them from the card/camera.

I can't import vertical photos to my iPad using the camera connection kit. Horizontal photos import without a problem, but verticals have a red exclamation mark. Help?!

I can't import vertical photos to my iPad using the camera connection kit. Horizontal photos import fine, but verticals have a red exclamation mark, and do not import. Help!?

I have the same problem and apple needs to fix this - but in the mean time you can manually select the vertical photos then "import - import selected" and you can get your verticals. We need a better fix. THIS IS A BUG!

When connecting the Camera Connection Kit to a camera or SD card all you see are the thumbnails of the photos. I suggest you review those, select the photos you might want to see full screen, then import them to your iPad. After viewing them you can always delete them if you no longer want them on your iPad.
I also suggest Keeping the photos on your camera or SD card until you import the to your computer and back them up to at least one other location.

Is it possible to put films on an ipad using a camera connection kit?

I have just bought a camera connection kit for my ipad 3 and a 16GB sd memory card. i was wondering, is it possible to add mp4 films (such as Transformers) onto the ipad using the camera connection kit from my sd card?

You can. It's just not the easiest thing in the world to do.
MP4 files play just fine. Handbrake is one very good video converter app.
Make and have the file on your computer.
Using the explorer on your computer, You make a folder on the SD card named DCIM
You give the movie a 8 character name TRANSFOR.MP4 for example - has to be exactly 8 characters + extension
You put that file into the DCIM folder using your computer
Eject the card from your computer.
You attach that card via the camera connection kit, to your iPad
The photo app should pop up and you'll see either a poster frame or a black box representing your video
You go through the import process and move that file to your iPad
You finish the process, taking care not to delete the file off the card (the CCK always gives you the option of deleting the photos or movies you just imported)
You open the photos app and tap on the movie, it'll open the video app and play the movie
You finish the movie then have to delete it off your iPad.
You will not see file names, so if you have multiple movies on a card you likely can't tell one from the other.
And you have to have room to import the file, you cannot watch it off the card.
So it works, but isn't exactly seamless and easy, largely cause the preferred method is that you simply purchase and download the same movies from iTunes

Not able to upload .jpgs on a SD card to Ipad 3 with camera connection kit. What am I doing wrong?

I downloaded .jpgs only from a video recorder on to a SD card. Using the camera connection kit, the Ipad 3 is doesn't recognize any files in either Photos or iPhoto. Currently do not have iTunes available to sync photos. What do I need to do to get the iPad to recognize the jpegs on my SD card?

Solved my problem. Created a folder named: "DCIM" on the SD card. Moved all the .jpg files to this folder. Reconnected to the ipad with the camera connection kit, upload to ipad started outomatically in Photos app.

Hi, my iPad and the camera connection kit is completely useless to me, ever since the update where Apple restricted the device from connecting to certain external devices. I've tried everything, but is there eny way I can get rid of this?

Hi,
My iPad and the camera connection kit is completely useless to me, ever since the update where Apple restricted the device from connecting to certain external devices. I've tried everything, but is there any way I can get rid of this annoying problem? The bottom line is that I'll stay away from apple, because they basically make it so the devices control you, and you don't control the devices. I've even jail broken to try and fix this. I need my USB drives to work as they have many folders. Formatting doesn't work, so it is definetly down to the software and it's restrictions.
Please help.

The camera connection kit is to be used to connect a camera or an SD card and transfer photos/video. You can't fault them for something that happened to work and doesn't any longer. There are drives like the seagate available if you need access to extra storage

HT4101 Once pictures are moved from your camera to your iPad (using the camera connection kit), how do you get the photos off of the iPad? They do not show up in my photo stream or my iCloud.

Once pictures are moved from your camera to your iPad (using the camera connection kit), how do you get the photos off of the iPad? They do not show up in my photo stream or my iCloud. I am able to see any photo I took on the iPad using the iPad camera (in iTunes, photo stream, or when I open windows explorer and browse the iPad director), however I cannot see any photos transfered from my camera to the iPad. The camera connection kit must have put my photos in a directory I cannot get to and cannot sync.

Can I import a Keynote presentation to my ipad with the Camera Connection Kit?

IMovie for iPad 1 with Camera Connection kit?

For those of us who use our Camera Connection kit, will iMovie ever be supported on iPad 1?
I mean I get that iPad 1 has no video recording capabilities, but it does have the ability to import from SD cards or cameras. I'd love to be able to edit videos taken on my DSLR on my iPad 1.
-Heres to hoping Apple isn't a bunch of morons about this one...

Apple.com only lists iPhone 4, 4th Gen iPod Touch and iPad 2 as supported devices.

IPad 4 with camera connection kit doesn't work with 64GB SDXC card on iOS 7.1.1

I have an iPad 4 and official Apple camera connection kit. Even though ios 7 was supposed to provide compatibility with SDXC cards there is obviously an issue. I'm using 64GB SDXC and 32GB SD cards - both Sandisck Extreme Pro with RAW Canon 5D Mark III files. The 32GB cards work fine - thumbnails appear quickly and pictures import fine. After inserting the 64GB cards thumbnail holders appear very slowly but the thumbnail images do not appear so I cannot import. I'm a pro photographer and I need this functionality so that I can show pictures to clients on location. Any ideas?

Are the photos on the 64GB card in RAW format? If so, this may apply.

Workflow of ipad 1 with camera connection kit

Hi, I am very new to ipad and wonder the following is possible:
I know ipad can view photos in memory cards with camera connection kit (CCK), but can I view the photo and delete it straight away from my ipad without copying all the photos into my ipad? I shoot raw, will this make a difference?
The answer will be very helpful as I am deciding whehter I should get a CCK.
Thank You

if shooting raw, 16G iPad wouldonly store 5xx photos if shooting in raw and leaving at least half of thecapacity for apps & videos... which is useful but not quite helpful, that'swhy I want it to work like a bigger screen instead of the 2.5".
Besides, Idon't have that many backup at home and some are very obvious can be deletedthrough big screen (e.g. out of focus) but not the small one (the crappy screen in 40D will notlet you recognize any out of focus photo..)
