Q: How to download Movie Files to my computer
I know this is not strictly an Aperture question but how does one download video files taken on a Canon G-15 point-and-shoot to my Mac Air book.
I have a USB cord that goes from my camera to my Mac Air book ... I successfully downloaded from a 4 GB memory card my still pictures to Aperture 3.4.3 but I could not figure out how to download a video I made on the same memory card, not to Aperture which of course does not accept video but to my computer.
I turned off Aperture and then searched in my computer but the camera was not recognized anywhere in my Mac Book.
Any help will be appreciated greatly. Thanks in advance

Don,

Aperture does import movies from your memory card, if you do nor disable it in the "Import" settings:
In the "File Types" brick of the "Import" setting make sure that "Exclude videos" is unchecked, and the "Raw&Jpeg" setting should be set to "Both".
I turned off Aperture and then searched in my computer but the camera was not recognized anywhere in my Mac Book.
Probably you dismounted the camera, when you finished importing into Aperture. You could try to unplug it and reconnect it, and then check, if iMovie will recognize the camera.
The Canon G-15 is listed as compatible in the list of video-formats supported by Aperture, have a look: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4025?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
