How to firewire out

[methuenbill]

I have a project that I want to firewire out to a Mac. I connected the firewire up to the mac using a female to female adapter as the apple has a larger firewire on the computer input side.
I started imove and the Apple did not see the 4000. I went out finish and hit play and still the apple did not see the 4000k. Any Idea as why it dosn't see the storyboard?

To my knowledge MS has never succeeded in making the Bogart units firewire compatible with the PC or Mac.

Hi Bill

You have to go throught Media Manager and save it to a USB stick (if you can and the project isn't to big)
Just bought a Mac book Pro and I can't fire wire my footage in by using any of my camera's as they
changed it to a 8 pin fire wire connection and it is not suported. Maybe if you have the 6 pin you could try to go back to tape and
then fire wire in the Mac. I don't know if thet works but I would give it a try by connecting the camera to your Mac.

I found using Project back up with both SD and HD footage to a USB stick was more reliable than using Media Manager for that.

Thanks for that Tim I only starting to do that in the last 2 weeks when I bought my Mac.
I will try your methode next time.
