Anyone having problems importing movies from Canon Vixia after the high sierra update?
I had four clips just stall since last night.
Thanks for the tip Luis, I uninstalled Perian and now can import the videos directly from the camcorder to iMovie just fine, after a lot of frustrating attempts and going through the file conversions. I should have tired this first, thank you!
No issues with my Canon HF50 importing. Works with iMovie and Toast 10
Thanks Luis, problem solved! Kudos to you.
No. I verified AVCHD. I also tried with both iMovie 9 and 10 and with Toast. No issues importing. Not sure why so many are having issues.
That's very strange, I have no idea why my set up will not work. It also looks like the "iMovie Expert" I talked to for two hours also has no idea. Thanks for checking that.

Well done Jon, mts direct import and Perian's removal managed to resolve the date stamp issue too. Credit to you and shame on Apple's incompetence. Every day more like Microsoft unfortunately.
I posted this problem last October with some interesting further replies (including contact from Apple)
imovie 10.1.7 wont import avchd files
Still no solution. Perhaps in imminent 10.13.3?!
One can say Apple has been fast to resolve the issue. Not sure I am going to continue to use their software. So unreliable.
Could you be more explicit by indicating the steps to find Perian in ‘audio’ to delete on my iMac, please.
"3. With the Canon still hooked up I tried to import the files directly [into iMovie] and it did not see the files, even when I unchecked the hide files after importing box. (X)"
"4. I used Free AVCHD to MOV app and I was able to import those mov files but when I went to create a single mov file from these [files in iMovie], it gave me an error [and] wouldn't continue. (X)"
"5. Finally I used the MTS files from step 2 [using ImageCapture] and transcoded these to MP4 files [in Handbrake] and will try to import these to iMovie and see if I can make one file.
I just use your first "Q" after having read the various replies, I resume:
1.Apple must quickly up-grade High Sierra to allow again working properly on iMovie (ex SD cards..Sony, Canon - camcorder avchd /H.264). Hope they hurry up and forget their trend to iPhones for a while...
2. Since 6.01.2018 I can import clips ex memory card (Sony HDR-CX570E) into iMovie but there is no sound on the clip as described by you and other people using MAC-Apple (imovie).
3. It was not even possible to exit the CD card (saying it still works), neither to disconnect iMovie (also in work!!) When forced to exit (via Apple sign), the SD card got free, but all the clips (image without sound) got into an image with a "?" sign. Thus useless. I had to cancel all of them, even the whole project.
4.I decided to use a Canon photo camera G16 for still photos und "filming": and here the big surprise:
a) I could import photos / clips to "PHOTO" and also clips to iMovie which produced image and linked sound (below the image).
5. Now what is wrong with imovie/High Sierra and with the Apple Team ?
6. By the way I went to an Apple approved shop near Morges(Switzerland) and had the SD card (ex Sony Caméscope CX570) inserted into their iMac for a check up: surprise, the clip showed the image and the sound connected to.
My iMac 27" with i7 was produced as per info in late 2013. I hope it's still a "new" one.
Appreciate Apple's reaction to keep their clients happy. (When ? )

Please indicate how to proceed to find the hidden
Perian that stops importing sound in clips and blocks importing
Avchd clips from memory card.
Assume I must open “Finder” ... what next?

Can't import AVCHD to iMovie after High Sierra update
This was the fix for me. I removed the Perian, but that didn't do it, this file was still located in the audio/plug-ins/components folder and once removed and rebooting, it worked. Spent 3 hours looking for this fix. THANK YOU!
