DedupeHow to Import Videos from File-based Cameras to iMovie?
Last Updated :File-based cameras can record and store media like audio, video and still images on flash-based storage media, hard disk drives and much more. To import videos to iMovie from the file-based camera, you need to connect it to your computer using a USB cable that came with the device. You can also import your videos from file-based cameras via removable memory card. In this case, you can insert your removable memory cards into your computer. First you need to check whether camera is compatible with iMovie or not. You can import all clips or only some of clips as you wish. To import only some of the clips, select the clip you want to import by command-clicking each clip and then click 'Import Selected' button.
Following are the steps to Import Videos from File-based Cameras to iMovie:
- Connect your camera or camcorder to your computer using the cable that came with the device and turn the device ON.
- If you are using a camcorder, set it to PC Connect mode.
- Camcorder may automatically go into "Connect" mode if you turn it ON in playback mode while connecting to your computer.
- Click "Import" button from the toolbar.
- Select your camcorder or camera option from the Import window sidebar.
- Move the pointer left and right across a movie thumbnail in the Import window to preview the video.
- Position the pointer over the preview in the top portion of the Import window to control preview playback.
- Click "Play" button.
- To choose an existing event to contain the imported clips: Choose the event from the "Import to" pop-up menu at the top of the Import window.
- Click "Import All" button to import all clips.
- The Import Window closes, you can begin working with your clips in the browser. iMovie imports your media in the background.
- When your media is imported, disconnect the camcorder or camera.

PicBackMan does exactly what it's supposed to. It's quick and efficient. It runs unobtrusively in the background and has done an excellent job of uploading more than 300GB of photos to 2 different services. After having lost a lot of personal memories to a hard drive crash, it's nice to know that my photos are safe in 2 different places.

LOVE this program! Works better than ANY other program out there that I have found to upload thousands of pictures WITH SUB-FOLDERS to SmugMug!
Thank you so much for what you do! :) #happycustomer

I pointed PicBackMan at a directory structure, and next time I looked - all the photos had uploaded! Pretty cool. I use SmugMug and while I really like it, the process of creating directories in is pretty laborious when you need to make 80+ at a time. This was a breeze. Thank you!

PicBackMan was really easy to setup and has been running for 3 days now backing up all my locally saved photos to Flickr. My photos are really valuable to me so it's great to be able to have them easily backed up to a secure location.
Jim Griffin It's AWESOME!! I have tens of thousands of pictures...and they are now successfully uploaded to SmugMug, where they are safely backed up, and I can edit and organize them. If you are hesitating about using PicBackMan, hesitate no longer...try it...and you'll be glad you did!!

I started with the basic plan, went to premium and now on their platinum plan and it's more than worth the price for me. PicBackMan has saved me many tedious hours of effort moving many files between my various cloud and photo site services and my local computers.

I am very satisfied and surprised at the same time with Pic BackMan. The service is very good and useful. I used it to transfer my photos from Dropbox to my Flickr accound. I highly recomment it.

PicBackMan was an answer to many a prayer. How can I get this MASSIVE collection of photos onto a service that cripples uploading? PicBackMan. I uploaded approximately 85,000 photos in less than a month. It would have taken me close to a year to get all of those photos where they needed to go. Nothing short of brilliant.
Dary MerckensI have thousands of family photos and it's always been such a pain to upload them to various cloud services for offline storage. Well not anymore! PicBackMan makes backing everything up a complete breeze. I don't know how I ever lived without it!
Glen MartineauI was poking around the Internet looking for an easy tool to help me consolidate 15 years of my pictures from Google Photos and Flickr etc - this tool was very easy to use and was painless to setup.
