iMovie HD Import Problem - FIXED!! - djoel123

Amazing advice!! This saved me tons of trouble having to deal with apple support. Dunno why imovie corrupted - everything was fine and then all of a sudden it stoped displaying the camera screen even though imovie it was able to control the camera. I opened Garage band and played a few notes, closed it and then reopened imovie and everything worked!! Go figure?!? Thanks

Great fix. Don't know what core audio has to do with importing video, but it worked. Also fixed sound problems in some of my other applications (games).

My problem was that 243 dv clips were ending up in the trash as soon as I tried
to create a new movie and could not import the movie. I have tried for many days to
find answers at the Mac Imovie support sight and many others with no success,
no indictions of my problem .I gave your procedure a try and it did the fix.
I hope others with my problem are fortunate to find your fix. Thanks a million. SAM

iMovie HD Import Problem - FIXED!! - elektronblue

I hope this will help someone/anyone who has googled this exact problem as I did.

I too had the problem with the blue screen, I was about to scream out! - YET, here is the fix.

Simply open up the FX1 Menu screen on the back - by pressing the "Menu" button next to the battery.

Use the jog dial to select "i.LINK CONV" then press in the jog dial to select it.

Change the setting from "ON (HDV->DV)" to "OFF"

Then press the "Menu" but to save your changes.

PRESTO - open up iMovie like you normally would have and press import after connecting your camera - and it should work just like mine did!

This may work with other HDV cameras - it was more or less a hardware issue - I'm sure Final Cut Pro wouldn't have this problem since it doesn't have to translate.

I believe the problem is due to the camera is trying to down convert the HDV to DV where then the computer is trying to take the supposed to be HDV into it's iMovie language/codec (not realtime HDV like Final Cut Pro). Hence, it's having a tissy fit about the playback.

I know, I know what many are thinking - WHY THE HECK iMOVIE with your FX1 ???? Well - simplicity at this time - I currently don't have the harddrive space to install the 35GIG Final Cut Pro Studio - so with my MacBook Pro - I just wanted to start light. Anyway, this is my very first with videography.

HOPE THIS HELPS! Props to "Nar1117" on MacRumors forums!

I'm just paying it forward!

iMovie HD Import Problem - FIXED!! - elizabeth15

Holy smoke! Was having a slight heart-attack as I had put today aside to import our wedding video's... sat down to enjoy reminiscing and was greeted by the "Blue Screen Effect". Did a quick Google Search and stumbled across this post. Read the solution and thought "yeah, right"... Despite being the only person in the office, I looked over my shoulder hoping no-one was watching me open GarageBand as per the advice in the post. . . No doubt someone would think I'd lost my marbles gain. . .

Followed "thebryceman's" instructions. . . Opened up iMovie and voila - fixed! Blue Screen gone and video ready to import! "thebryceman" - I could kiss you!

Thank you!
