I have MOD files from my Everio camera. I no longer have the video camera so I can't connect to my MAC. I just have the original downloaded video files in MOD format. I want to convert them to use them on IMOVIE.
Help?
MacBook Air (13-inch, Mid 2012), Mac OS X (10.7.4)
You will need to convert the MOD files to work in iMovie.
You will need MPEG Streamclip (which is free). Download MPEG Streamclip here.
It is possible that you will also need the Apple QuickTime MPEG2 Playback Component (about $20) which you can get here. The best way to see if you need it is to drag one of your MOD files into MPEG Streamclip and see if it tells you to install the Apple QuickTime MPEG2 Playback Component.
If you need the component, be sure to read the MPEG Streamclip website above for instructions on how to install it.
Drag your MOV file into MPEG Streamclip. Then, click FILE/EXPORT USING QUICKTIME. Choose Apple Intermediate Codec as your video codec. Leave the audio codec as uncompressed (or AAC should work as well). Name and save the file to a place where you an find it later.
You can now import it into iMovie by using the FILE/IMPORT MOVIE command from the top menu.
MOD Video,
Please re-post in the iMovie forum, that is where the iMovie guru's hang out. According to your profile you have a MBA, this is an iMac forum so you're not even in the correct hardware forum. 🙂
iMovie itself can convert .mod, yet, if you want to convert .mod for more output video settings, such as divx, rm, flv, wmv, or need further easily edit the source mod, you can try this Free mod converter for mac
iMovie doesn't support MOD format. Therefore, in order to successfully import MOD to iMove for further edition, we need a third party app to convert MOD to iMoviesupporting formats like MOV, MPEG-4, DV.
I am using a Mac MOD Converter (http://brorsoft.com/mod-converter-mac/index.html).
U can give it a try.
