Uploading to iMovie with Canon DC10

I have a Canon NTSC DC10 Camcorder. I am trying to upload movies from it to no avail. iMovie doesn't recognize the file type. I've tried coverting the file using Handbrake also to no avail. Anyone have a suggestion?

As the Canon DC10 is a DVD based camcorder, this Apple article may help:

Issue with Canon Legria HF20 and iMovie 09

I am having an issue with using the Canon Legria HF20 (which is the PAL version of the Canon Vixia HF20) with iMovie 09, and I am trying to confirm whether other people experience the issue.
I recently purchased the video camera, and while I am having no issues shooting in 25p, I am having an issue with 50i. When I shoot in 50i and import into iMovie at 'Full-Original Size" the footage displays with a horizontal interlaced combing effect, whereby if the camera moves left or right, horizontal lines appear, which causes the edges of things to look jagged. This is difficult to see in the small preview box, but is easy to see if you preview in full screen. I have been told that this shouldn’t occur as iMovie should recognise that the footage is interlaced and adjust the footage when being previewed (thanks Steve Mullen for confirming that). Again, there is no problem with shooting in 25p.
This link has an example I found on the internet of what I am seeing: http://media.photobucket.com/image/deinterlace%20video/jlatenight/deinterlace.jp g
Also, when I export the footage from iMovie using 'Export using Quicktime' at either 1080i or 720p, the footage remains interlaced even though I have selected 'Deinterlace Source Video'
So far I have been unable to get to the bottom of this issue. I have spoken to Apple and they are saying that while the Canon Vixia HF20 (NTSC Version) is on the official list of cameras supported by iMovie, the Canon Legria (PAL Version) isn’t, although they couldn’t say whether this could have something to do with the issue I am having.
Therefore, I was wondering if anyone could confirm whether they have experienced this issue. Can you please confirm that you are using the Legria version and not the Vixia version of the Camera.
I would really appreciate your help.

Well, it seems to me that it looks the same. I am not an expert here, but it occurs to me that you can either shoot in 25p or de-interlace it from 50i. I think it gives the same quality but the latter is more complicated unless you have the Final Cut.
Here I got an intersting link on that matter:

Is imovie compatible with canon vixia M50?

Is imovie compatible with canon vixia M50? I have the latest version OSX 10.8.2

I cannot find it on this list:
http://help.apple.com/imovie/cameras/en/index.html
That does not mean it will not work, but if you haven't purchased the camcorder yet then I recommend limiting your search to those known to be compatible. Better yet, limit your search to manufacturers that specifically indicate iMovie compatibility.
Panasonic does; I am not certain about Canon.

IMovie'08 uploaded to YouTube with Jingles caused copyright violation notice

I just uploaded an IMovie '08 project to YouTube with my own video content from my camcorder, and audio solely from IMovie Jingles. I received a 3rd party content notification from YouTube stating that the audio content is owned by an entity called "Dance All Day." Somebody please tell me why, when I tried to avoid copyright entanglements by using only Apple's IMovie jingles, am I getting 3rd party use violation notice from YouTube? Who the heck is "Dance all Day" and why are they claiming ownership of Apple IMovie "jingles"? Who owns the rights to IMovie "jingles?"

I've had similar issues with these so-called copyright violations, simply when using Apple provided jingles in iMovie. Others here have also reported this. In my case it was a different entity that was claiming ownership of the jingles. After a while, the notices stopped appearing. YouTube place ads on the videos when there is a perceived violation, but these can be removed temporarily by clicking on the x icon. From memory, there was also a note stating that no action was required by the user, but ads would appear.

IMovie footage shot with Canon XL2 looks exports to m4v which looks lousy

Video shot with Canon XL2, captured/imported into iMovie, it looks good in iMovie but when sharing it, it turns into m4v. Is this correct? Burned DVD in iDVD and it looks lousy. Isn't it supposed to be a mov file and not m4v?

Does that require me to get rid of my 100 Hz or 200 Hz screen and exchange it for a 24 Hz screen?
No. This stuff looks equally good on CRT, Plasma or LCD. (Though I do recommend leaving off such things as 100 Hz modes, as they have a tendency to produce the opposite effect, making film look more like video.)
Film shot at 24 FPS is shown as 48 half frames,
Where on earth did you get that idea? Film is always shown theatrically as whole frames, whether 24 or 48 fps.
When will you send me the ticket?
Opening day for my first fiction project will be in my cousin's basement home theater, on a 9 foot screen with overhead projection. I'll let you know when the release date approaches. Better get your ticket early, though. I'm expecting a line all the way around the shed, stretching clear to the garbage cans.

How can I create a file in iMovie with a lengthy audio file, but only 1 picture?

Let me state first off that I'm a blind user using the Voiceover screen-reader in OS X.
Now, I want to upload some audio to Youtube, but they do not allow simple MP3 files. As such, I want to create a file in iMovie with my audio and 1 picture to use as a visual. Within iMovie, I add my audio file, select a picture, but when I publish, the audio is cut off after only a few seconds. Can someone please explain how I can fix this issue so my entire audio clip will play?

iMovie is a visual medium, so you need to make the duration of your photo at least as long as your voiceover track. You should be able to double click on your photo and then enter a duration.
See iMovie Help at this link.
http://help.apple.com/imovie/#mov3a883915
An MP3 file may work for you, but for best results, use a WAV or AIFF file (uncompressed). You can convert MP3 to AIFF in iTunes. Let me know if you need instructions.

When I upload photos from my Canon Rebel 1000D to iphoto the images are labelled JPEG, yet I shoot in RAW.How do I get iphoto 11 vers9.1.3 to not convert the photos to jpeg.

HI,
When I upload photos from my Canon Rebel 1000D to iphoto the images are labelled JPEG, yet I shoot in RAW.How do I get iphoto 11 vers9.1.3 to not convert the photos to jpeg. I seem to have tried and read so much but just can't figure it out. How do I get iphoto 11 vers9.1.3 to not convert the photos to jpeg. Or do a have to use a different system? I have Adobe Bridge. Or can I upload directly into photoshop?
Also how do you install dmg's properly I am having problems installing them?
I have a Mac OS X 13 inch Version 10.6.7
Advice desperately needed
Thanks

Do you have Aperture installed? I found your model on a compatibility list; however, there was a note that it requires Aperture 2 to be installed:
http://www.apple.com/aperture/specs/raw.html
According to this excerpt:
To see a list of digital cameras with RAW-format support that are compatible with iPhoto, visit this Aperture webpage (any camera compatible with Aperture, Apple’s advanced photo editing and management program, is compatible with iPhoto as well)
which is at the bottom of this page:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iPhoto/9.0/en/pht41627265.html
I may be wrong, but I interpret that info to mean you need Aperture 2 before iPhoto will work with RAW?

Importing with canon ZR100

I am trying to import into iMovie with my Canon ZR100 miniDV camcorder. I think part of the problem is that my help file seems to be giving me info on iMovie HD 6 and I am using iMovie 4. I can control the camcorder from iMovie fine and I can see the movie and hear audio. The problem is that the help file says that there should be an import button above the play button in iMovie and there is nothing there in my app and I can't find or see anything obvious that would be for importing. Maybe someone can just direct me to some sort of manual for iMovie 4 or if you do have some insight that would be great.

there's a little "switch", scissors and camera under your main screen...

How to re-upload YouTube video with same settings

I d/l'd a YouTube movie. When I opened it in iMovie, the dimensions and quality appeared (visually) to match what shows on YouTube.
I made some edits (added some titles), and re-uploaded it following the instructions at https://www.google.com/support/youtube/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=165543 which say to
[list][*]File -> Export -> Compress movie for: Expert Settings -> Share -> Export: Movie to QuickTime Movie -> Options
[*]In the Video section select the following: Compression Type: H264; Frame Rate: 30; Data Rate: Automatic; (if you choose to restrict the Data Rate, make sure to choose the highest value acceptable to you- more bits = better quality); Key Frames: Automatic; Frame Reording: Unchecked
[*]In the Video section click "Size": Dimensions: Set this to the original size of your video (Note: HD resolutions preferred- 1280x720 or 1920x1080)[/list]
I tried both "Current" and "1280x720".
[list][*]In the "Prepare for internet Streaming" section: Select the "Prepare for internet Streaming" and choose "Fast Start" from the drop-down menu.
[*]In the Audio section, make sure that the audio codec is AAC. Always use ACC as the preferred audio codec.[/list]
But when I upload to YouTube, the frame is both substantially shorter and narrower than in iMovie. Also, the video is much poorer quality (even after YouTube finishes processing it).
How can I re-upload the movie with the same dimensions and quality as when it was downloaded?
Thanks

re-checking; ignore for now; thx

I cannot upload my iMovie video to Facebook, etc. I cannot even attach it to an email, an 'error' message comes up when almost complete. It plays fine in imovies, VLC, mplayerx. Confused, is the file damaged somehow?

The Deskjet series printers connect to wireless networks with what is called USB to Wireless.
You will need a supported operating system to connect a Deskjet to a wireless network. Supported operating systems to connect the printer to a wireless network are Windows 7 (32bit and 64bit), Windows Vista (32bit and 64bit), and Mac OS X (10.5, 10.6, and 10.7).
While there is a software download option for Linux distributions, this is not the full featured software that is capable of adding the printer to a wireless network. Most printers have a wireless setup wizard to accomplish this task, but the Deskjet series printers connect in a different way.
Once the printer is connected to a wireless network, HPLIP 3.12.4 drivers should be able to locate the printer.
Click on Installing the Product Software for a Wireless Network Connection to receive instructions to connect to a wireless network using Windows and Mac operating systems.
Click on Software & Driver Downloads - HP Deskjet 3070A e-All-in-One Printer - B611a to download the appropriate software for a supported operating system to connect to a wireless network.

Canon DC10 DVD Camcorder - compatible w/iMac?

Am a newbie to iMovie and the world of DVD Camcorders - the one I just got is a Canon DC10 mini-DV, and the manual states that one can only download still images to Mac. I suspect that if I can get the video into the Mac, I can use iMovie to edit, etc. Do I need to connect via firewire? Is this camcorder model even compatible w/Mac at all? (NOTE: Canon Customer Service unable to help me...)
thanks

DVD Camcorders always seem to cause problems and iMovie will only work from firewire.
Look at the thread http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=967074#967074
Karsten's posting might help but the whole thread will give you some useful information.

Imovie and canon hv30 compatibility

is the canon vixia hv 30 compatible with the iMac OS X 10.5.4 and OS X 10.5.3? It looks like you connect with a USB port instead of Firewire and I thought you had to use firewire to connect to iMovie.

Hi
Canon HV30 is compatible with iMovie 08. You connect with a 6pin-4pin firewire cable. The USB cable is for transferring still images from the camera. Hope this helps.

Importing m2t into iMovie with only one conversion

Ok, so m2t files have been beaten to death in these forums, but I'm still puzzled. Here's my situation. I have a Canon HV20 and only replay the tape once to avoid wear and save time (really?). So I capture to m2ts. Fine. Now I'd like to be able to use these in iMovie with only one conversion. I can convert the stream to a framed (QT) format like AIC. But I'd like to do this just once. Meaning, when I convert clip.m2t to clip.mov I'd like to drag this to iMovie and have iMovie just "copy" an not import/convert. Can I convert to a format where I can just drag to the media folder in the given iMovie project?
For those watching. My toolchain is
1. rewind the tape
2. capture with HDVsplit (win), DVHScap (mac), or whatever
3. split/clip the m2t files with HDVsplit (win) or MPEGstremclip (mac/win), or HDVxDV (mac) and leave as m2t
4. convert the m2t clips I want in my movie to QT+AIC
5. import these QT+AIC .mov clips into iMovie
6. edit
I'd like to optimize 4 and 5. (And by the way, someone should port HDVsplit to mac.)
Thanks,
WL

MPEG Streamclip allows you to export as QuickTime with Apple Intermediate Codec (also QT Player can do this but I prefer MPEG Streamclip for these tasks). I think you should set the resolution to 1440x1080 because that's what iMovie uses internally for 1080i.
I did a quick test and iMovie seems to accept such AIC-encoded .mov files directly to its Media folder. But run some tests through your complete workflow before trusting this will work!
Ok this was helpful. If I take 1440x1080 QT/AIC output from MPEGstreamclip, I can efficiently copy the file in the project. Works like a charm and looks great in iMovie. (I can also now take the 1920x1080 QT/AIC output from streamclip and do the same; not sure what change there. I did a test on a 1:24 length mpeg-2 stream. The 1440x1080 with and without deinterlacing were 700MB and 600MB respectively, while the 1920x1080 is at 800MB. So it makes sense to do 1440x1080 since iMovie handles it fine.)
In summary (hope this helps someone), here's what I do:
0a. Macbook with iMovie HD
0b. LaCie macos formated external drive drive (hfs+)
0c. Canon HV20 filmed at 1080i (not sure what do with the 24p cinemode)
1. use DVHScap (mac) to capture the stream from the HV20. This gives file.m2t, for example. This can be viewed with VLC, for example. (on windows use HDVsplit to capture). Copy the m2t file to the external drive.
2. now use MPEGstreamclip to disect the m2t file. use the 'i' and 'o' to mark inputs and outputs and then "save as". Save this as file_clip.ts for example. The .ts is the same as an .m2t file, so save it as either.
3. now you should have 1 or more file_clip.ts depending on how many times you do step 1 and 2.
4. use MPEGstreamclip in batch mode to take the file_clip.ts or m2t files and "export to Quicktime". Select Apple Intermediate Codec as the type compression type. Yank the quality up to 100%. Select 1400x1080 (4:3) as the frame size and click "deinterlace video" (my opinion on the deinterlacing). Save the movie on the external drive as file_clip.mov.
5. now start a new iMovie HD project and save the project to the external drive. Quit iMovie. open-apple-click on the myproject.iMovieProject to "show package contents". After this you can move your file_clip.mov files to the media directory under this package. A move is best since copy does an actual copy. Move just moves a pointer.
6. start up iMovie and view the trash can when prompted ("Some stray files were found in the project...."). Now drag the trash files to the clips area in iMovie.
7. now edit.
This is a nice approach for a couple of reasons. The .m2t files are great storage formats. The conversion from mpeg-2 stream (m2t) to a framed format like QT+AIC (mov) is done +only once+. And the quality is maintained. Also, I can do this all to an external harddrive, which is nice since I'm limited on my macbook.
I don't have HD gear. Currently I archive SD DV to tape and to big harddisks. In the future I would like to continue to archive HD content in its native compressed (non-AIC) form. Obviously this works via DVHScap, right?
Yes. The m2t files are a great archival format. The 1:25 long clip above was only 275MB while the framed formats were 3 times that. The stream saves differences so it's a lot more efficient (but you don't have frames for editing). VLC is also quick as quick for viewing these. DVHScap never drops any packets (mpeg-2) when capture (for me at least). HDVsplit is also great, but only for windows. HDVxDX also worked like a charm.
Well anyway, thanks for the chatter.

When I try to upload an iMovie to YouTube as I've successfully been able to in the past. I get a message that keeps saying that I need to sign in to YouTube when I am already.

I'm sorry! This is my 1st post to the support community and I put my problem in the topic bar!
