How can I get movies on a Canon Vixia HR R62 camcorder downloaded into iMovie or at least get them put onto my hard drive? The movies are recorded as AVCHD. iMovie recognizes the camera but does not show any of the AVCHD movies for importing. It can see the MP4 movies only.
iMac, OS X Yosemite (10.10.5)
Or how can I convert the AVCHD files to MP4 files? The camera does not show up in Finder so I can't view the AVCHD files from there. iMovie recognizes the camera but it doesn't see any of the AVCHD files, so I'm stuck.
Hello,
I have the same issue with my Canon Legria HF G30 since I moved to Yosemite and iMovie 10.
It' strange but I noticed that the AVCHD movies can be imported with Photos because it recognizes them.
So you can import your movies with Photos and access to Photos Library with iMovie.
I have just had a 1-hour phone call with Apple support to talk about this issue and
they don't know why it doesn't work directly with iMovie.
It's the only way for the moment.
Unfortunately, my computers don't see the AVCHD on the camera, whether they are in the camera's internal memory or on the SD card in the camera. Don't see the AVCHD files in Photos with Yosemite on my iMac or Yosemite on my MacBook Pro. Don't see the AVCHD movies even using the Canon Utilities CameraWindow DC software! Only see the MP4 files. I also tried an old iMac running OS 10.6.8 with iPhoto '08 version 7.1.5 and that old iPhoto could only see the MP4 files.
Thanks for your reply anyway!
