Mac Compatibility with Sony Handycam Camcorders

This video shows how Sony AVCHD camcorders work with Mac. You have to have an Intel based Mac and you do need at least Leopard for your OS (OS X 10.5 or greater). After that, it's smooth sailing for both pictures and HD video in iPhoto and iMovie.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!

[RedYps23]

Thank you for this video. With my Sony Handycam, at least, it's also vitally important to hook up the camera to its power source. So you'll have the power cable to the outside of the camera and the USB connection to the inside.

[JakeEvansProductions]

[donneggy23]

did you just use standard usb from the camcorder or was it ilink? And can you use hdmi from the camcorder to connect to the mac?

[ChloeVlogz]

@RGMFilms2 quit iMovie, then start it up again, and re-do his steps :)

You're an angel for making this video. I wish I was exaggerating when I say I spent ALL day today reading forums and blogs on this when I gave up and googled 'handycam for mac' & your video came up.....so simple! Now to delete all 4 converter programs I was told to download

[elizabethannshapiro]

PLEASE HELP!! For someone reason, when I go to "share" so that I can upload my newly imported video to "youtube", neither the "facebook" or "youtube" option is clickable. Please tell me why this is happening, and what I can do. Thanks so much!!

[elizabethannshapiro]

[shakecandy1]

[miraclesandmadness]

[voxrecordings]

[purplepick1]

@MsKTMvalley thank you for this tip. you are right. NO ONE mentioned the fact that you have to have iMovie open. THANKS!!! :)

[TheKaandonbekci]

okay now mine has two option for recording Standard and HD. When I plug my device (i think) it only finds the standart quality videos. I imported them but i cant import the other ones. Do you know haw can i manage to import the HD ones too.

Additional Info: My device is HDR-CX115E and i am using imovie 2008.

Thanks for your video but please turn back to me.
