Hey all, I'm having trouble importing video from a Sony HDR FX-1 HD camcorder onto my Macbook Pro.
I am using iMovie, as I just want the raw video on my HDD.
iMovie opens, and it detects the camera connected, but when I click 'import', the camera starts playing like it should, but not video appears on the computer screen. All I get is the blue VTR screen with the time stamp showing that the tape is playing. Is there something I'm doing wrong?
iMovie also detects that the camera is HD, and adjusts the screen and preferences to match.
I just dont see any clips appearing on the 'clip screen' when i click import. This is the first time I've imported HD video directly onto this computer, so I'm thinking theres some sort of setting i have to change, and its just not obvious to me.
Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks.
