May 23, 2012 10:53 AM in response to Klaus1by coolthing,I bought the same camera. To my surprise, it is not supported. What can I do to get HD on iMovie? DO I need a 3rd party app? or can I upload it into (something) then transfer it to iMovie? Going on vacation soon, and need any help.. Much appreciated..

Might have been an idea to reverse the process: check what is supported and buy one of those?

Jun 1, 2012 9:05 AM in response to wernerfromedgertonby Sandrewb,As Klaus1 mentioned above. I have a MBP with Lion and iMovie '11. It imports right into iMovie '11 with no problems. I am on my way out but will try in FCP when I get back later and will let you know.
