Hi, this is my first post on the new braintalk forum!
I'm having a problem with imovie. I shot a little film and I was trying to import my footage from a GV-HD700 deck into imovie. When you connect a camera or a deck to imovie a little "import window" pops up but when I try to import the computer thinks I want to import from my built in isight camera instead of the deck(i.e it shows the feed from the built in camera rather than the footage in the deck). I'm not sure why this happens. I'v heard it could be happing for a number of reasons. I got a firewire from Radio Shack to connect the deck to the computer. I called them when I had the problem and they thought I had the wrong kind of firewire so I tried to get the type they thought I needed but they were out of them. What bad luck! I'v heard it could be a compatibility problem with the deck(though I'm pretty sure it is compatible with imovie 08). I'v also heard it could be a problem with the isight camera itself. Anybody have an idea of what might be wrong or what I could do? I'm going to the Apple store in a few days but I thought I'd ask anyway in case there might be a way to fix it that cost less money. Any answer is helpful!
