    Is the Sony HVR-M15U compatible with a older Mac pro?

    I recently purchased a Sony HVR-M15U in order to capture many Mini-DV tapes in both DV and HDV formats. The unit appears to be working as I can view video on an external monitor etc. I connected it to my older MacPro and connected it via a firewire cable. I launched iMovie and when I turned on...

    Howdy All Hope everyone is safe and well :-) I have both Final Cut Pro and iMovie. Several years ago, I created some shorts for a business of mine at the time, made entirely of B-Roll. If memory serves, I did these on iMovie, but not 100% sure on that. Here is a link to one of them...

    iMovie's titles suck for making subtitles, no matter which title i use and desperately need alternatives!

    I've been hyping up my project for some time now but it can only work out if I have proper subtitles on my video. Unfortunately, iMovie doesn't supply that option so I've been using the titles, but oftentimes they dont appear against the background because the colour of the photo/clip washes...

    I'm running an early 2015 MacBook Air with Sierra 10.12.6 I have recently started editing video. I have iMovie 9.0.9 installed. There appears to be an incompatibility between these, such that my shared/saved videos are colour washed-out. I'm caught in a situation where my computer cannot run...

    Earlier today, I had some problems getting some items into iMovie, and I ended up with a "iMovie project damaged" notices and something with a "_trash" label on it (I think the project ended up fine).
