Mov

Does MOV work in iMovie and After effects as my DV is broken at the moment, so all I have is my digi cam, will a MOV file be able to edit directly into iMovie or After effects?
Thanks.
And does an iMac have the wire for the DV... whats it called?

Ive only got a wire that has the wire on the right on BOTH ENDS, can that connect to my imac?
Thanks for your time.

Oh wow, sorry for the huge image, is there a way to resize that?

MOV files will work in After Effects. I don't use iMovie so I'm not 100% sure but it should as MOV works very well with Final Cut.

And as for the firewire (DV) cable you have, you have a 6pin/6pin cable. Your iMac SHOULD have a 6pin firewire port but I use a PowerBook so no guarantees. But to work with your MiniDV camera, you will need the cable you have a picture of (4pin to 6pin cable). They should be available at most electronics retailers for around $30-$40.

Imagewell is a great little free app for resizing.

aww, so my 6pin 6pin wont work then?
Thats crap lol.
Oh well, I guess I'll work with my digi cam, the only problem is it wont pause, so when I make a movie thing, if I do different angles it will be a new file every time

No the 6pin won't work unless your camera has a 6pin port on it (very unlikely). Like I said tho, if you have a best buy or circuit city or compusa nearby, they have those 4pin to 6pin cables available for around $30-$40. heck, check compusa because they're supposedly having a going out of business sale.

Oh no my mini dv has a 6pin one, so does that mean 6 pin 6pin will work?

Wow, your MiniDV cam has a 6pin port on it? Well yeah, if your cam has the port then I don't see why it wouldn't work. Just to make sure we are clear, in your picture, the plug on the LEFT is a 4PIN and the plug on the RIGHT is a 6PIN.

oh no mine has a 4 pin lol ¬¬
So i guess I have to buy the 4 to 6 huh

yeah looks like it. and u may want to watch those 4 letter words. i got a warning for using the AS+S word and H-E double L. lol

whoops.

Click to expand...

You're supposed to resize it yourself.

If you can't add resize it, add it as an attachment to your post: it will put a thumbnail below your post which when clicked on will open a new window for the full sized image.

Usually a forum layout accepts an image that is 800 pixels wide, no more otherwise it breaks the layout like your did above.
