Does this camera work well with iMovie HD 6?

Sure. Just connect the camera to the computer and the app will import the video.

I use it with imovie all the time... just depends on the setting you put it at... the large memory settings take up a lot on the computer, but i do a lot of video... ~1TB... i find if i go with a little lower setting but still HD it's less memory and i can't really tell the difference.... i've liked the camera though. i am guessing it is going for less than i pd... bought it Jan 2012 i think?

Yes. I works pretty good. Just got mines about a month ago and it's awesome. However, does have the image stabilizer feature when in the 2 to 3 hundred range. But not with an tripod is perfect. 9 stars

Yes, it works great. Great CAM. I get complements on the video quality all the time.

I have this camera and had no problem importing the HD footage into iMovie on my powerbook.

I have an intel based mac and the hg10 cam. I was unsure weather the cam would work when I bought it. Best buy said it would and told me if it didn't I could bring it back if it didn't. It does work with Imovie8 but DOES NOT work with previous versions of imovie. You must have or purchase Ilife 08 to make the HG10 work with Imovie. I put a first test movie up on utube with the cam and software and it worked perfect. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bXeFjOfewiI

C. Brown, I've got this camera and I love it. It works absolutely fantastic. It's got a High Def mode with Skype so you get pretty good picture quality in it with nice connections.

I just bought this camera, plugged it in today to my Macbook Pro, used the dv/firewire cable. It works fine with iMovie with no tweaking. But downloading is in actual time, so slow. just rewind your tape, put the little wheel on view and hit import.

I dont own one of these cameras but Im currently borrowing one from a friend, its the 8gb newest generation. I take my video, plug it into my Macbook pro, go to iMovie, click "import video from camera" and im done.

Yes, I am very happy with this camera. I use a Leica M9, how ever it is not suitable for all circumstances, this camera fills in the gaps.

AJ is right H.264 is the encoding on the Zi6. I have one and have had zero problem importing files in iMovie. It takes pretty good video and gets about 3hours HD60 on a 16 Gb SD card. I understand it takes up to 32 Gb, but what would be the point?

This camera uses a new codec- an H.264 version of an HD Data stream called AVCHD. While Macs are good at working with H.264, currently, only Final Cut Pro has codecs for H.264. Its not clear that Final Cut Pro can read this new format (AVCHD) currently, though one can expect that Apple will probably update it to do so soon (Since H.264 codecs come with the application.) iMovie HD, however, does not support H.264 video, so it is not clear whether it will, or when it will, work with the AVCHD format video this camera produces.

What mac are you using? I have an older 2.0 Gighz G5 (not intel based) with 10.5.2, imovie and FCE HD. Any issues because its not an intel based mac?

its a widely known issue - macs dont recognise memory card formatted by this camera. it's a joke trying to get files onto iMovie...

I have recorded video on my panasonic digital camera from time to time, but I primarily take stills so I cannot attest to the hd video......but the stills come out great.

Manual says IMovie '09 is supported. Sorry, I don't know anything about MACs so I don't even know what IMovie is! The software that comes with the camcorder is Windows only.

It looks like it is proprietary for LUMIX, although you can probably buy an extension USB for it...not sure if you can find 6" with the right camera connection on it. Good luck. Very good camera for the money.
