Mar 13, 2015 9:53 AM in response to vassegoby Karsten Schlüter,You have mixed formats on your card (AVCHD and mpeg4).
iMovie accepts only one per card...
Erase the mp4s and most probably, the AVCHD encoded clips can be used.
btw: iMovie suports AVCHD v2, proRes, … lots of codecs.

Mar 13, 2015 9:57 AM in response to Karsten Schlüterby vassego,Thanks for the quick reply. I should have noted that this was the case even when I had recorded only AVCHD-encoded clips.
Also, I'm using internal memory, and not an SD card. Would that matter?

MAy be?
as far as I know iMovie 'expects' a very specific folder structure... Can imagine, that your devices file system has a different order.
does your cam allow to transfer from internal to external mem?

Mar 16, 2015 4:00 PM in response to Karsten Schlüterby vassego,It's taken me a few days to get a memory card. I've tried formatting the internal memory and shooting only AVCHD, and still not luck importing into iMovie.
I've also tried shooting directly to the external memory and shooting only AVCHD, and iMovie also says there are no recordings available.
The camera does allow transferring from internal to external memory, but that didn't help either.

Mar 16, 2015 4:57 PM in response to vassegoby vassego,Just following-up after I was able to get a temporary workaround in place. The camera doesn't show up in Finder or Disk Utility either.
However, I am able to connect a memory card reader and import video from the memory card using that method. This still isn't ideal, because I can't use the internal memory, but at least this will work for now.

hmm. perhaps there's some setting in your cam which has to be selected… cannot find a Manual on the fly,... I've seen camcorders, which need to be set 'usb output' or 'play' or 'remote' or whatever ...
Clever idea of yours, to test a card-reader - that narrows to reasons for fail ...
