Video camera that will work with imovie

I've been asked to look into getting a video camera for work. Mostly to do interviews and product demonstration. I can see the potential for more. I did borrow a Mini DVD video camera last year. Had to jump through 2 hoops and save 2 different ways in order to just finally view the stuff on the computer. Never mind edit it. I don't seem to be alone with these problems of video camera/mac compatibility. Pain in the…
I'm looking to plug and play into my mac and hopefully use iMovie to edit.
What are some of the best choices under about a grand? Preferably $500?…
Thanks for you expertise!

If you want high definition, pick a camcorder off this [list of supported camcorders|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1014] for iMovie 08. There is a slightly different list for iMovie 09. Pick an AVCHD model in either SDHC card or hard drive format. DVD camcorders are not recommended (by me) because people have too much trouble with them.
If standard definition is good enough, any miniDV camcorder will do.

Which Sony Video Camera's will work with Final Cut

Hi,
I'm getting *Final Cut* and can get +Sony Video Camera's+ at a discount, but like to know which +Sony Video Camera's+ will work with *Final Cut* or should most work without any problems?
Thanks,
Sal

You got to do better than that.
Any idea on the TYPE of sony video camera's available to you? They make quite a few.
I'd stay away from anything with a DVD in it... also HDV can be tricky too... but not undoable.
What are you looking for?

HD camcorders that will work with imovie.

I am considering replacing my old Sony mini DV SD camcorder with a mid quality HD one. I read that there are problems with most of them on the apple website. Does anyone know which memorycard camcorder will work with imovie or do I have to go with an old HD DVtape one? It will be used mainly to video show jumping indoors. There are good discontinued Sony ones still available but I would prefer newer technology and it needs to be reasonably compact and light, but a step up from entry level.

This is a user to user forum. Think of it as asking for help from a neighbor. They will generally help if they can. You can ask your neighbor to borrow a cup of sugar. But don't get mad at your neighbor if they don't have any sugar.
The etiquette here is that generally people do not clutter up a thread with "I don't know" answers. The fact that I don't know doesn't mean that there isn't an answer, and when someone posts that answer, it makes it difficult to find if a bunch of people are chiming in with "I don't know."
If you have a problem that no one knows the answer to, usually the best thing is to contact Apple directly. There is a "Contact Us" link at the bottom right of this page. I don't know what support infrastructure Apple may have in your country, but you can find it at the contact us link.
Good luck.

Video Cards that will work with AE CC

I need a card to work with my AE CC on the road..(LAP TOP) for video editing and AE production of changes.I understand the list provided by adobe is a partial list I would like some other choices
Thanks Dave
[email protected]

If you're using AE CC, there is no need to use the ray-traced renderer. It has now become obsolete with the arrival of faster-rendering, more powerful solution that comes FREE! Check out the details of CINEMA 4D integration with After Effects CC (12.0)
The card list on the Adobe page is for cards that are certified to accelerate rendering of the ray-traced renderer. Otherwise AE uses the GPU for very little. Read more on the GPU (CUDA, OpenGL) features in After Effects CS6 here. Now, some third-party effects (like Element 3d or Red Giant Universe) make use of the GPU, but their requirements are very different and they could use a much broader range of cards. If you plan to use any of them, you'd need to consult their requirements.

Help.Looking for a new HD/ mini DV camera that will work with FCP ExpressHD

I just bought a imac with final cut express HD and am looking to buy a new HD/mini DV camera for under $900.00 that i will have no problems with my mac.I was looking at the Sony-HDR-HC3 HD mini which i found for $700.00 and that seemed pretty good.Does any one have any suggestions??I would greatly appreciate it.

When you say no problems with your Mac are you aware of the workflow difficulties editing HDV? e.g monitoring via external HD monitor is an expensive option, burning HD DVD's similarly so.
However this cam has an HDMI out to enable you to connect to your HDTV to view your recorded content, so if you can live with monitoring through your computer for editing, this is a decent camera for the $$'s.
A friend of mine has a Sony DCR-HC96 and is pleased with the larg(ish) single CCD, giving improved low light capabilities over other domestic miniDV camcorders.
At around $500, it is a miniDV alternative worthy of consideration, if more suitable for your budget without the HDV editing headaches.
It depends whether you really need/want HDV rather than SD and what your final output requirements are.
Good Luck, Dave

Any Skype Video that will work with the A1 ?

Is there a version of Skype Video that will work with the A1 ?
Moderator Note: Edited subject to match content.

Skype works wonderfully on the HTC Thunderbolt. The Tegra single core is just fine. It's not the chip, it's this device. As I've written as well, playback of any video is poor and any HD video is unwatchable. The phone plays HD video reasonably smoothly.
The Skype issue is the same - the app sees that it is video capable but cannot find the front facing camera (or any camera for that matter.) I'm surprised to find that video functions on this device don't work very well. Hopefully the company will be behind supporting this device. I'm surprised that it has Gingerbread only but you can't expect them to dump these out without having made sure they worked properly just for simple things that have worked properly on comparable devices.

I had this video file and I was trying to flip it to a format that would work with iMovie. It used to have the Quicktime image with it. So, I assume it was a QT file. But, somehow I've changed the file from a video to a folder.

How?
Please detail ALL you have done so far in the way of troubleshooting? Need this info to avoid the been there done that scenarios.

Where did you get the video from?
From the pic I noticed that the folder is 841.9mb. What's inside? Or what happens when you click on it?

DKA790GX Platinum - What's the best card that will work with hybrid crossfire?

Hi everyone. I know this board is a bit old now but I've set it up for my kids to play oldish games and it occurred to me that video cards from that era might be inexpensive these days. What's the best possible card to use with the on-board card for its hybrid crossfire? Would it be better to just get a separate standalone card? If so what's the best that will work with this board? I'm completely out of the loop these days on tech and have no idea what will even be compatible anymore.

Good news! I resolved my graphics issues without buying a new card. It all came down to a little logic. It used to work just fine. The game it's installed off the same disc as before, and there us no noticeable change in the install media. The hardware has not changed unless there has been some sort of electrical damage I cannot see. I had however updated my drivers many times over the last few years, and always from the AMD website.
I installed the latest MSI drivers for my onboard graphics and voila, it works!
All graphical glitches are now gone, though it runs a but slower.
I may still buy a new card. I'm favouring the HD4870x2 as the top of my motherboard's era or the slightly newer HD5770 which some reviews say is equivalent in performance. The latter uses the same GPU and shaders as the 6770 and is considerably cheaper.
If I go with NVidia it seems the best card in my price range is the 440GT.
Thanks, everyone, for all the advice!
i'd say the 790GX chipset would run a saphire radeon HD5770 card fine i have 1 of them on a different maufactures board that uses the AMD 690GX chipset and i have put both my HD5770's in that with crossfire on and had no issues at all just to try it out!
and the AMD 690GX is a lower more old chipset then the one your board has so i wouldnt see any issues with the board not accepting the HD 5770 cards at all!
i like the saphire branded ones better as they run much cooler and quieter then a stock card!

I have an older Power Mac G5 Quad, and my video card just went out. I am trying to find a video card that will work for my Power Mac. I have duel screens but I can't seem to find the appropriate video card

I have an older Power Mac G5 Quad, and my video card just went out. I am trying to find a video card that will work for my Power Mac. I have duel screens but I can't seem to find the appropriate video card. The serial number on my computer is: RM620603R6W. Apple won't help me because the computer is older than suggested. Please give me the exact video card that will work best for my computer.

Hi Mike, make sure the card has Mac ROM, or is a PC card with Mac ROMs flashed to it...
G5 PCIe options are listed here:

Looking for shelf system that will work with 5th gen 8g Nano?

Hi,
I'm looking for a shelf stereo system with integrated iPod dock that will work with my 5th gen 8 gig Nano that I received as a gift. I've been researching this and have a found a few candidates such as the JVC UX-GN8 or UX-LP5, or the SONY CMT-BX20i. But... have been unable to confirm if they work with this new 5th generation model. Anyone have one of those units, or something similar, that works? Also, is it true that the Apple Cradle ($49.99+cable) has some problems docking the 5th generation Nano in the sense that all the features are not accessible (audio, video, etc.)? Thanks for any and all responses.

have been unable to confirm if they work with this new 5th generation model.
If their websites do not specifically state that their product works with the *iPod Nano 5th Generation _with video,*_ its more likely their product is not compatible. You can try calling them if possible to confirm.
Have you checked MacMall's website?

Which version of camera raw will work with elements 9 and a Nikon D5100? How do I download photos to it?

I have Photoshop Elements 9 and use a Nikon D5100. I have downloaded camera raw 6.5 but cannot download photos to it. Does camera raw start automatically or do I have to manual start it?

That did I, thanks.
