Hope this is an easy question: re: 5DII, device not seen

[cdub]

Hi everyone,

Took some video with my 5D mark II last night, and want to import it to iMovie. When the camera is connected and turned on, Aperture 2 opens, as it should. Aperture does not handle video, however.

Upon closing Aperture, I open iMovie and visit the three "import" options under File. None of these recognize or can see my camera. Additionally, my camera does not appear as a device on my finder window, nor my desktop. When I visit my system utilities, my computer does recognize the USB as being connected to a Canon camera, but....

Any suggestions?

Allow me to answer my own question.

I bought a card reader. Problem solved. :barb

I was going to say that but it really doesn't solve your original problem. You will find it faster though than hooking this camera to the computer. I never do it personally, always use the card reader.

yeah, no kidding! Way faster (I got a firewire one) and no lost battery power.

Cheers!
