How to import a video from camera into iMovie?

How do you connect a panasonic camera to a macbook to import the video into imovie... what wire do i need?

  • Answer:

    You forgot to tell us what type of camcorder you have. If it's a minidv camcorder, you need a firewire connection. Firewire to USB adapters do not work for downloading video. Maybe some day. If it's a minidvd camcorder you have to convert the files using a file converting program like http://www.handbrake.fr/ (free download). If it's a hard disc, then download using the USB cord. If it's a flash drive, you can either use a card reader or USB and copy and paste the photo's from the card to the file of your choice. Be aware that some camera softwares do not work with Vista especially Vista 64 bit. Http://www.vista4beginners.com is a good site that deals with Vista problems. Sometimes just plugging the camcorder in without installing the software might work.
