![]() ![]() Or, you may find that importing into iMovie HD 6 works, even if it won't import into iMovie '08. Well is your "playback device" so different from my Sony TRV330 camcorder? If it's not, then -p-e-r-s-e-v-e-r-e- and you may suddenly find the trick to making iMovie accept an import. Intel iMac, then you'd need to find something similar which is a 'Universal' application (i.e runs on Intel Macs as well as PowerPC Macs).Ĥ. PowerPC iMac, then downloading BTV Pro will do the job. I could find another piece of sw to do the capture. probably more references to them in iMovie HD 6 Discussions than here in iMovie '08 Discussions, though.ģ. Mmm: Canopus or one of the others I don't remember which one(s) people generally acknowledge to be the least troublesome: better search within discussions. ![]() I could play back the analog through an ADC. but if your existing one doesn't work - though I did get mine to work OK - what's the betting that ".a new playback device." might also not work? I'd persevere with your existing playback device.Ģ. So don't give up try various relevant settings in your camcorder's menus, and try starting the import by pressing Play on the camcorder as well as just Play or Import within iMovie.ġ. So I think it may be the old problem - as mentioned in Dan's FAQ - that iMovie and the camcorder aren't sure which one is "taking command" of the FireWire circuit, and by forcing the EDIT command, iMovie finally accepts input from the camcorder. It didn't quite import, so in the camcorder's menus I also chose "A/V>DV OUT" and set that to "ON", so that the camcorder knew that an analogue signal had to be converted to digital - though I suspect that didn't actually make a difference, as that's intended for changing signals which enter through the A/V IN socket so that they simultaneously travel out through the FireWire cable.Īfter a few more tries at importing, the camcorder displayed its "D8>A/V 8" message on its monitor again, and finally started importing the analogue signal into iMovie '08. I tried that, and a more promising import message came up in the import window. Guessing that my old trick to force Sony camcorders to work correctly with previous versions of iMovie might do the trick (.see 'Sony camcorder special fixes' inĢ - Press the Menu button (or relevant touch-screen button)ģ - Scroll down the Menu to the 'ETC' option, if there is oneĤ - Click the 'ETC' item and choose 'VIDEO EDIT' if it's thereĥ - Click 'VIDEO EDIT' and 'MARK 1 IN' may appearĦ - Click on 'MARK 1 IN' and then exit from the Menu options, by pressing the Menu button again The camera has to reset itself, too, so that it reads the signal from the tape asĪnalogue instead of digital, and when swapping over from analogue to digital it briefly displays "D8>A/V 8" or some such on its built-in monitor. I've just tried this with my similar D-8 Sony TRV 330E.Īt first no video is imported, perhaps because the Mac is waiting for a digital signal with timecode to come down the FireWire cable. ![]()
