Sorry, but I have read and reread other threads and I am completely lost.
My problem is that I have been importing movies from my new Sony DCR-SX63 Handycam into iMovie '11 and the quality is blurry and horrible. I am looking for a reasonably simple solution to being able to import video and make decent movies with iMovie. Please be gentle. I am so confused about MPEG4, AVI, DV, MPEG2 and all of the other stuff. Here are some specific questions:
1. What format is best for iMovie and how do I convert my video to it? I think my camera shoots in MPEG2.
2. To keep it simple, is it better to just buy a different camera? What kind and what format does it need to shoot in?
3. What is the step by step simple way of importing my video to iMovie in a format that it likes?
Thanks for any and all responses!!!!
