video import from HandiCam = no file created
I’m trying to import some footage that was recorded on a Sony 8mm Handicam ( model DCR-TRV330 NTSC) into iMovie (version 10.0.6). I’ve got the camera hooked up via firewire. I can select ‘import video’ from the iMovie window. iMovie is able to control the transport of the camera and I can see playback in the iMovie window.
I click on “import”, the video plays and it shows “recording….” in the top left of the import window. It also says “No Data from Device” in the top right of the window. When I’m done importing there is no data file created in the selected library. In short, everything seems to be working as I’d expect, but there is no video file being saved!
What to do?
