  • 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.

  • Import videos from Canon Powershot camera to iMovie

    I recently bought the Canon Powershot D30 underwater camera. I tried to import the video clips to iMovie without success. It can only export to iPhoto and the video clips when dragged to iMovie became still shots. How do I transfer the videos to iMovie for editing? I have a MacBook Pro with iMovie 11

    Not sure of what you mean when you "never find where the video went". Did you use the import function of iMovie or ? If it is from the camera software, I suspect the video went to your Movies folder in your user folder. But...
    Just checked this out and it is simple. I assume your video is on an SD card or something like that. Just download the movie to your desktop from the camera, then open iMovie 09 and go to the import function under the file menu and import the movie from your desktop. As to

  • Can I import video from a Firewire camcorder using the Thunderbolt to Firewire Adapter?

    I have an older camcorder that has a firewire interface. My new iMac does not have any firewire ports. Can I import video from the camcorder using a Thunderbolt to Firewire Adapter or is the Thunderbold adapter only used for hard drives and displays?

    Rather than an adapter, I would suggest you purchase a 4 pin to 9 pin Firewire 800 cable to run from the camera to the Thunderbolt to Firewire adapter. Those FW 400 to 800 adapters frequently do not work so well for importing video in my experience.
    The Firewire cables are pretty inexpensive if you get them online. For example try Monoprice.

  • Can't import videos from Sony A55

    I can't import videos from Sony A55. Anybody can?

    Fellows,
    I have an A55 as well and iMovie 8.0.6 and can not import the AVHD movies. When I look into my Kingston SD card I get a directory with 5 folders, AVF_INFO, DCIM, MISC, MP_ROOT, and private. In private there is a folder called AVCHD, in which there are 3 folders, AVCHDTN, BDMV, AND IISVPL. In BDMV there is 3 folders and two files. The folders are CLIPINF, PLAYLIST, and STREAM. In STREAM there are the .MTS files. I have tried importing them, importing STREAM, and importing BDMV, all without success. Do you know what I am doing wrong, do I need the new iMovie, any other ideas ?
    Thank you

  • I can not import videos from my camera or open them... quits finder

    So i have a canon powershot SD300 and I can't import videos from it using I photo (the program quits)... so I used the camera software and when I go to click on it to show review, or try and open the video files (avi-quicktime) my finder quits! What's up with that? I have added an Xvid update so I could run Xvid files... I don't know if that would do anthing. Can anyone help?

    JordanFox,
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    Your friend is correct; iPhoto 2 does not handle video files. You'll need at least iPhoto 5 to keep videos in your library. There is no other way to get it than to purchase a copy of iLife, either version 5 or version 6. Upgrades from one version to another cost money, updates within a version (ex; 6.0 to 6.0.6) are free downloads from Apple.
    Try using Image Capture (in your Applications folder) to upload the video clips to your Mac. You can manage them yourself in your Movies folder.
    Regards.

  • Can you import video from a DVD?  If so how

    Can you import video from a DVD? I have some home DVD's made on my PC. My PC program (Roxio) allowed me to pull clips off of a DVD, but I can not seem to figure out how to do it with iMovie on my Mac.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

    Hi, I'll see if I can help. The only way I know of importing directly from iMovie off of a DVD is with a converter box hooked up to an external DVD player. However there are a few freeware programs you could try. One is Handbrake, with it you can convert your DVD into a MPEG-4 file, this is incredibly easy however the quality will be a little lower than that of a DVD. Another program is MactheRipper which will rip the entire DVD onto your hard drive but you will have to hunt through all the files to find the ones you want. I hope this helps.

  • ImageJ in Yosemite can not import video from QuickTime plugin

    Thank you Benjt and Sue:
    I have first chosen to followed Sue's suggestion concerning the firewire connections since that looked to be the one most easily done quickly. I therefore had to make more room on the hard drive in my MacBook Pro since the drive is only 100 GB. I normally use an external 400GB drive to hold my video files since one of the plays last May required about 200GB! However, the play this time was a short one and not really High Density anyway like the one was in May with a much finer camera. I have been connecting the external HD via Firewire800.
    I simply moved a number of files from my MacBook Pro drive and put them in the external HD as well as another HD and then disconnected the external HD from my MacBook. I was, indeed, able to import the entire tape in one shot into iMovie. iMovie is still not working right since I found that I had to click "import" in iMovie to start collecting a clip and then hit "play" on my camcorder to actually import the tape contents into the clip. I found the whole play, just 50 min this time, in that clip when we returned home this evening.
    I can now get the editing done one their last play for the kids and have DVDs for them when I go back up to Gainesville to record their current play on Thursday evening.
    I will then devote some time to trying to solve the rest of the problem, looking into Benjt's suggestions.
    Thanks very much for your very timely critical and positive help this afternoon. For your information, I also have been working on learning Final Cut Express but as I tried to put all of my reading into practice, I now I can't even get FCE to open - but that's another story and a very different problem.
    Thanks again.

  • 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.

  • My computer is no longer allowing me to import video from my Sony HDR camera.

    My computer is no longer allowing me to import video from my Sony HDR camera.  I don't know if it is the operating system or the version of imovie or what.  I also have imovie 06 and I was always able to import into it and can no longer do that either.

  • Importing Video From a Sony HVR-Z5E into Adobe Premiere CS5

    Hi,
    I am importing video from the Sony HVR-Z5E straight into Premiere using the capture option off the file menu but the colour looks completely different to what it looks like on the camera. Why should this be? When I preview the video in the capture window the video looks fine. its just after I have captured it.
    OS: Windows 7 x64
    RAM: 3 GB
    Please HELP??!!??
    Many Thanks

    Either your camera or your monitor is not properly calibrated. Lucky for you, capturing is just a transfer of digital data without any modification at all, just like copying files from A to B. They do not change in the copy process. So either it is in the eye of the beholder or you monitor is not properly calibrated or you are just imagining things.
    Wish you luck with editing HDV on such a system.

  • How do I import video from a Sony DSC-HX100V Camera into iPhoto

    How do I import video from a Sony DSC-HX100V Camera into iPhoto? . . . i can see all the photos but the videos are not visable (I also connected the SD card with a USB Sony SD Card Reader - again only the photos are accessible - no video files are shown) . . .

    If you're shooting AVCHD then you'll need to upgrade to iPhoto 11v9.3 to import this material.
    A note on AVCHD: This format was developed for people who are shooting to edit the material afterwards. If you're shooting to edit, then iMovie or Final Cut are the correct home for this material. If you're not shooting to edit consider using one of the other video formats on your Camera.
