How do you connect (I know its USB - But camcorder only gives option of PC), and import video from Panasonic HDC-HS900 ?
Are there any other video (eg. Sony) that have similar problems.
Thanks
iMovie '11, Mac OS X (10.7.2)
This camera works with iMovie and connects with USB. It works in iFrame mode and in AVCHD mode. The only thing you have to avoid is recording in 60P. iMovie will not import 60P. Any other mode should work.
Follow the instructions in your owners manual for importing. For my Panasonic, which is a few years older than yours, I just insert the SDHC card in a card reader and iMovie sees it.
If you import from the camera, use USB and plug the camera into wall power. On mine, I set the camera to play. But check your manual to be sure.
This discussion would be helpful if you want to edit 1080 60P video in Imovie

Another great resource for forcing Imovie to accept 50/60P content (Imovie defaults to 25 or 30P depending on if your using NTSC or PAL) is this page

There are a few steps to take but I can confirm that IMovie 8 works well with this method and I shoot,edit, use and burn Blu Ray compatible 50P (I'm using a PAL camera) content all the time with my HDC-HS900
Panasonic HDC-HS900 connect to iMac and iMovie or Final Cut Pro
