Chapter 4 Bringing Video Into iMovie HD 33

Follow these instructions to connect your video camera and import your video

manually.

To import your video into iMovie HD:

1 Insert the tape with your video footage, turn on the camera, and switch the camera to

VTR mode.

2 Connect your camera to your computer using a FireWire cable.

3 Open iMovie HD and click Create a New Project in the iMovie HD project window.

In most cases, iMovie HD automatically detects the type of camera you’ve connected

and selects the appropriate video format. You can also specify the video format of your

project by clicking the Video Format disclosure triangle and choosing a format from

the pop-up menu that appears.

5 Click Create.

6 In the main iMovie HD window, set the mode switch under the iMovie monitor to

camera mode, as shown below.
