About imovie: I'm trying to download a movie from a Sony DV videocam. I did it before but I can't remember how I did it. Am I supposed to clik something on imovie that will input the movie as I'm playing it from the camera? Thanks

While we all have MacBooks in this forum not all of us use iMovie. There's a iMovie Support Community where everybody uses iMovie. You should also post this question there. https://discussions.apple.com/community/ilife/imovie

To make it easier for you, I'll ask the hosts to move your post to the correct forum (iMovie).

This series of videos shows how iMovie 11 works. Unless you have iMovie HD 06, Apple has a tutorial for that somewhere on their site...

iMovie HD 6 is no longer supported, so I wouldn't expect any further kb articles...

And for the OP:

You didn't post much information; it would help if you posted:

model of your Macbook ?

Mac OS version you are running?

iMovie version you are running?

model of your camcorder?

format of the video clips ?

are they on a memory card or dv tape or hard drive ?
