![]() I use an old version of Final Cut Pro (7). Learn what to do if you don't see your camera displayed in iMovie, or if it unexpectedly stops importing, exporting, or responding. ![]() Found this on Apple’s website - may help with this question: Apple Support If iMovie doesn't recognize or control your camera or camcorder This may have changed in the past decade though (!). In terms of capture software - You could try iMovie, though historically it didn’t like USB input due to the limited bandwidth. I think it’s safe to say that the $25 dongle you are looking at won’t have TBC (it’s not listed on its features). This isn’t typically a cheap option though “Canopus” is I think the best known brand for this, but you’re looking at around $600 (!) for one of their boxes that includes TBC (or pick one up second hand to save a few $$). If the VCR doesn’t have TBC (like my own Sharp VCR), it can be achieved instead by the analogue->digital converter. (JVC VCRs in particular often include this feature.) It’s not essential (depending on the source material), but it helps to correct issues such as chroma shift (when the colours of the image don’t line up with the rest of the image), and also “wobbly / wavy” images, where the image has a lot of horizontal distortions. Hopefully you’ve got a VCR with “TBC” (time base correction) - it will improve the quality of the image. (VCR plugs into camera via its breakout port / cable, then Firewire into your Mac.) I haven’t used a box like that one, but presumably it works similarly to my method - using an older video camera (currently use a Canon MVX430 circa 2006 previously a Sony P104E) that includes the option to do “analogue to digital pass-thru”. ![]()
