Use a firewire cable to connect your camera to your Mac. Have your camera at the place you want to start copying and put it in play back mode. Open iMovie in your Mac. In the iMovie window, move the little blue button to the left (to the camera icon). Then click the Import button at the bottom of your picture. If you haven't used iMovie before play around with it. It's a great movie editing program. Good luck!
Open the System Profiler on the Mac and establish if the camera is connected to the Mac's firewire BUS.
If not, try another cable and also test is the camera's firewire port is working.
It's either a cable or socket issue.
Some cameras require that the menu of the camera be set to output over firewire, check this as well.
Connect with a firewire cable and open iMovie.
You should be able to capture.
If not open the System Profiler and see if the camera is recognized by the firewire BUS.
The connection would be, analog into device, firewire to computer. Play
the analog device and import into iMovie, Final Cut or other editor.
They should see the signal and therefore import to a digital file. Check
with System Profiler to see if it sees the firewire device. If your
software allows playing to the firewire device, the ADVC300, then you
can record to those analog devices.
Hi, I managed to down load mine by connecting with a firewire and setting the camera to playback mode (not PC), opening imovie, turning the camcorder on and selecting file -' import from camera". a screen came up then I started playback on the camcorder and was able to select import from the screen on the imac.
Hi, Well, congratulations on the new Mac upgrade.
You will be pleasantly surprised to hear that there is no mac software for any video camera.......
Because all the necessary software for any and all digital video cameras is built right into the MacOS and the iMovie application and the iPhoto Application.
So, all you have to do is connect your camera to your Mac, using the cable that came with your camera, either firewire or USB turn on the camera and then launch iMovie and the Mac will automatically recognize that a camera is connected and it will ask you if you want to import...
Voila Fantastic merveilleux hooolala !!
