Sony Handycam to iMovie, import/transfer Sony MTS, M2TS to iMovie 11

Handycam is a Sony brand used to market its camcorder range. It was launched in 1985 as the name of the first Video8 camcorder, replacing Sony's previous line of Betamax-based models, and the name was intended to emphasize the "handy" palm size nature of the camera, made possible by the new miniaturized tape format. This was in marked contrast to the larger, shoulder mounted cameras available before the creation of Video8, and competing smaller formats such as VHS-C.

 

Sony has continued to produce Handycams [14] in a variety of guises ever since, developing the Video8 format to produce Hi8 (equivalent to S-VHS quality) and later Digital8, using the same basic format to record digital video. The Handycam label continues to be applied as recording formats evolve.

 

However, many people want to know how to import Sony Handycam to iMovie. That is because when Mac users recorded videos with Sony Handycam, they will find that dozens of camcorders are not supported by iMovie software for editing as below.

 

Q1: How to import Sony HandyCam videos onto iMovie?

Hi. I am currently trying to import videos from my handycam onto imovie. I have it connected to the computer, and all the cam corder has said for the past ten minutes is "connecting... Do not unplug the USB cable. Do not turn off the power." When I go to iMovie and hit file>import or press the little button with the camera, my video camera does not come up. On the little button thing, all that does is the isight.

 

Q2: How do you upload footage from Sony HandyCam to iMovie?

I'm trying to upload videos from my Sony HandyCam to my Mac OS X iMovie. When I open the iMovie application, I wait to see if it recognizes the camera, but no luck so far. I've been reading some forums, and it's been rumored that the Sony HandyCam isn't supported by the Mac OS X system.
