Hi jcm2656,

iMovie ’09 does not support the Sony HDr-PJ230 camcorder. See this article for a list of cameras supported for that version of iMovie -

iMovie ’11 however, does support it. See this article -

Note that iMovie does not support footage recorded in 1080-60p from this Camcorder.

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

Best,

Brett L
