Will it work with iMovie 8.0.6. PANASONIC DVX 100A?

Hello
I am bidding on a Panasonic camera PANASONIC DVX 100A. I "heard" that it works with iMovie, BUT, I would like to double check with you on the support board.
I thank you all in advance.

Best to ask this question on the iMovie forum if you want to be sure someone who uses iMovie and that camera sees the question.
Still, if your computer has a firewire 400 port, the camera can be controlled by the computer.
Depending on the how much you want to use the camera and how many hours there already are on the heads, you may want to use less expensive DV cam (or find something like a Sony DSR-11) as the playback device to keep the wear and tear on the dvx down.
good luck,

  • I have a new imac with imovie 11 however my hd everio camcorder will only work with imovie 8 or 9 how do i download imovie 9? all i can find are updates and my mac says i don't need it

    i have a new imac with imovie 11 however my everio hd camcorder will only work with imovie 8 or 9. i tried to download imovie 9 but my mac says i don't need the update. How can i download imovie 8 or 9 complete not the update?

    I really appreciate all your help. Today I spent some time on the problem. First I purchased  any video converter from the ap store and then I connected the camera to the mac with the original usb cable that came with the camera. I turned on the camera and selected backup on pc and the logo came up on my home page. I opened it and after several attempts i found the 3 video files that were on the camera. I then converted them from a tod file to mp4 and then transfered  them to imovie. Now I have to figure out how to send the video to youtube or move it to an external hard drive which I have not been able to do. So far I am not too fond of imovie 11. If you could send me  the download for imovie 6 I then could try that route. When talking to apple support yesterday about the problem they suggested to get Final Cut Express. It's 200 bucks so before i order the install disc i would like to try your suggestion. My email address is [email protected] Again I thank you very much for your help! George

  • Will compressor work with imovie and vesa versa?

    I am needing to compress a large file, but I only have imovie to work with for editing because final cut pro is so expensive.  Will compressor 4 play nice with imovie and will imovie work with compressor 4?  Thank you

    That's correct. I don;t believe you need a compression program to do what you want. I had to look up the export options for the new iMovie because my versions are older. There is a File choice in the Share menu which gives you a custom settings option. From that a you can adjust the bitrate to your requirements for the Web. For example, a preset that I use often is 720p # 8 bits per second.
    Good luck.

    PS: BTW, I was impressed by what I saw of the new iMovie; for example I didn't realize that it supports Pro Res. 

  • Will it work with iMovie?

    Novice user, new to the Mac system but I need to change the format on videos to use with our presentation software. I don't have Final Cut pro yet, so we've been using iMovie.

    Yes it will... Just export the video from iMovie and import that into Compressor. Compressor is a stand-alone app. Meaning... doesn't need another program to work.

  • Does the Canon DC310 DVD camcorder works with iMovie '06?

    I want to buy this camcorder. Will it work with iMovie '06?
    Thanks

    What Karsten said and . . . . DVD cams are just about the worst choice of ANY of the various types of cam out there. A DVD is an end product, not intended to be edited at all. Shoot the movies this afternoon on the DVD cam and play it back tonight on the TV.
    You need to do some homework about your software and camcorders and what will make life a whole lot easier for you. HINT - a miniDV cam with Firewire.

  • 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.

  • Which Sony camcorder will work with iMovie 8, HDRTG1?

  • Will the AVCHD format from the Lumix FZ100 work with iMovie?

    Does this from Matti Haveri help?
    To convert a DVD or MPEG to DV with MPEG Streamclip (v1.5.1 or later):
    Open a desired .VOB on a DVD (DVD/VIDEOTS/VTS_011.VOB, for example) or a MPEG file. Select the In/Out points if you want to extract just a portion of the video. Choose "File/Export to DV.../Compression: DV (DV25)".
    Choose "Split DV stream in Segments" if the content is more than 9 minutes 27 seconds because iMovie 1-4 can't reliably handle longer clip files and it might be a good idea to limit the converted .dv file's size anyway (segmented clips play seamlessly in iMovie).
    MPEG Streamclip can optionally resample audio to 48 kHz which DV (and DVD) use (use this option when converting (S)VCD 44.1 kHz audio for DV).
    Other settings can usually be at their defaults. Sometimes you have to check whether the input/output is PAL or NTSC.

  • Full HD camcorders that works with iMovie 11

    Is there a list of Full HD camcorders that works with iMovie 11 directly - plug & play (import, edit,...), without need to use any workarounds ...
    No compromise as to the quality of video.
    I am about to buy a new camcorder and am bit confused reading practical/real life user experience presented on the Internet ...
    Thanks, Ivan

    Here is the list.

    iMovie will not import 60P video without a lot of tinkering, nor will TV sets play 60P video. So that is a feature that helps sell cameras but is not currently a must have. If you shoot a lot of slow motion, 60P can be very useful.
    Make sure the camera you buy will shoot 30P, 25P, 24P or 60i.

  • How can I get my new camcorder to work with iMovie?

    Hey
    I just bought the new Panasonic SDR-SW20 and it doesn't work with a Mac.
    At least that is what I read at amazon.com.
    The file types it records in are .MOD files. Can these be converted?
    And if they can, how do I do that and what program do I need?
    Could someone maybe explain to me how I can get it to work with iMovie?
    Thanks.
    Bye Sandra

    Hi Sandy,
    Yes, you bought the wrong format of cam for working easily with iMovie HD6. Your cam records in MPEG2, which will need to be converted to DV for use in iMovie. You might want to read what the following page says about that cam's format.
    http://www.camcorderinfo.com/content/Panasonic-SDR-SW20-Camcorder-Review-35018/F ormat.htm
    It doesn't give a good review of the video quality and that will only get worse with the conversion necessary to work with it in HD6. If returning the cam for something more suitable is possible, unless you have bought this solely for its underwater capabilities, that might be your best bet. The best cam for use with iMovie HD versions is a miniDV cam using firewire, to capture to your Mac.
    If you want to persue the workarounds, you will need to get MPEGStreamclip (free-Google it) and the Apple QuickTime MPEG2 plug-in (cost $20.00), available at the Apple downloads site.
    Hope this helps you.

  • Does any camcorder work with imovie???

    I recently received a Sony Handycam DCR-R45 and it does not work with my computer. I am running imovie '06 and considered upgrading to '08 but after reading all the woes on here about the sony handycam i'm thinking of returning it. Does anyone have a camcorder that works well with a mac? I am only using it to take video of my 12 month old! This really shouldn't be so hard! PLEASE HELP!!!!

    [These cameras work with iMovie 08|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1014]
    Your camera is not on the list, so I would take it back.
    Nothing will work with iMovie 06 except miniDV (tape) and HDV (tape) through Firewire.

    You may need many other updates to retain compatibility with Lion. I suggest you reinstall Snow Leopard. Unfortunately, you will need to erase the drive first. Be sure to backup your data if you haven't done so already.
    Clean Install of Snow Leopard
    Be sure to make a backup first because the following procedure will erase
    the drive and everything on it.
         1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
             with your computer.  Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
             After the chime press and hold down the  "C" key.  Release the key when you see
             a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
         2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
             button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
             After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
             size.)  Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.  Set the number of
             partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
             and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
             (Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
         3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed
             with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
         4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
             Assistant. After you finish Setup Assistant will complete the installation after which
             you will be running a fresh install of OS X.  You can now begin the update process
             by opening Software Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your
             installation current.
