How to import a video from camera into iMovie?

How do I import video files from my Canon HF10 into iMovie HD 6?

  • I have iMovie 6.0.3, and am on a 12" Powerbook G4 running on OS X 10.4.11. I recently purchased the Canon HF10 video camera, and I cannot import the video files into iMovie. I've heard some people can do it, and others can't, but I've never been given a straight-up answer. I just want to know what's going on. I have the camera plugged in, and I have two (one for the hard drive, one for the memory card) drives available on my desktop, but iMovie doesn't detect any device being plugged in and doesn't give me an option to import any files. When I check out the two drives on my desktop, I see nothing vaguely looking like a video file. Some help would really be appreciated. Thank you!

  • Answer:

    You can use the software and the usb cord that came with it or you can use a card reader for the memory card.
