How to Connect Your Camcorder to Mac for Live Streaming?
First, you’ll need to gather the following supplies:
- A MiniDV or HDV camcorder.
- A FireWire cable.
- A Mac with a FireWire port.
- Once you have all of the supplies, you’re ready to start connecting your camcorder to your Mac.
Here’s how:
- Plug one end of the FireWire cable into the FireWire port on your Mac.
- Then, take the other end of the cable and plug it into the DV out or HDV out port on your camcorder.
- If your camcorder has both ports, we recommend using the DV out port.
- Once everything is plugged in, turn on your camcorder.
- At this point, your Mac should recognize the camcorder and prompt you to open up iMovie or QuickTime Player.
iMovie
- If you’re using iMovie, simply click on the “File” menu and select “Import from Camera.”
- A new window will pop up showing you the video that’s currently on your camcorder.
- You can then choose to import all of the video, or just a portion of it.
- Once you’ve made your selection, click on the “Import” button and iMovie will start importing the video into your project.
QuickTime Player
- If you’re using QuickTime Player.
- Click on the “File” menu and select “Open Movie in New Player.”
- A new window will pop up showing you the live video feed from your camcorder.
