Typical steps to get video from a digital camcorder onto your computer include:

1. Make sure any recording media (MiniDV tape, MiniDVD disk) is in the camcorder.

2. Open Windows Movie Maker or iMovie.

3. Turn on the camcorder and make sure it is set to the video mode rather than the

camera mode. If the camcorder has a camera mode, this means it can also take still

photos and save to a memory card.

4. Connect the camcorder to your computer with an appropriate cable.

5. Import the video with Windows Movie Maker or iMovie, then save to a format that

Photoshop supports. For supported video formats, import directly into Photoshop by

choosing File ➪ Open or File ➪ Import ➪ Video Frames to Layers. Figure 1.24 shows how

you can use iMovie to import video onto a Mac.
