I cannot figure out how to transfer movie clips from the internal HD of this camcorder into iMovie or iPhoto. I follow prompts and the USB icon spins on the camcorder, but nothing shows up on my MAC. Has anyone figured out how to get these movies off the camera? Help!
Hi, Answerseeker11,
The Canon Vixia HF G20 is listed on Apple's list of compatible cameras, so it should work.
Here's a link that explains how to import from a file based camera:

Also, instead of importing directly into iMovie, you can use the Image Capture app on your Mac to import onto your Mac desktop, and from there you can drag the videos into iMovie.
Another way is to import into the Photos app. Your videos will be accessible in iMovie from the Photos item in the sidebar of an iMovie project.
