Canon Optura Xi

iMovie will see my camcorder (Canon Optura Xi) so I can load the video. Premiere Pro will not see my camera. How do I fix this?

Premiere does not support dv/hdv capture over firewire anymore on a mac nor can you edit the footage.

I am not sure you can cpture over imove and play the files on Big Sur.

Use Windows File Explorer and a USB cable to copy the files from your camera to a folder on your hard drive... then point PPro to that folder
