This may be a stupid question, but I just bought a mbp (and I love it by the way) and I want to import video produced on my pc to my mac for editing purposes. Is this even a possibility?

stealthsniper96 What Was I Thinkin'?
um yeah aslong as im reading this right. just connect to the windows pc over the network and transfer them.

It will be faster if you connect both computers with a firewire cable or a crossover cable. What program will you use for editing?
-
First of all, I am a basketball coach and using a basketball play animation software on my pc (there isn't an equivalent for the mac). I'm producing the video clip through camtasia (making a Quicktime file - although I don't know what file type would be compatible with the mac, but I assume Quicktime would be). I tried emailing the file so that I could download it from the email to my mac, but the mac wouldn't recognize the file as a video. I want to edit the clips and put together in a video using either imovie or Final cut express.

What's the extension of the file you mailed yourself?
-
The extension of the file is .camproj which must be an extension from camtasia. Now that I look at it. It is only 3 kb?
-
That's not actually a video file, it's a reference file. I'm not familiar with Camtasia, but this How to Tutorial Video may help you. It shows a variety of ways to share Camtasia video files. Brace yourself for an annoying voice over.
-
The .camproj is probably a reference to the project itself which should be somewhere else, and would be quite bigger. If Camtasia doesnt have a mac equivalent, then you're pretty screwed unless you can somehow find the quicktime movies associated with your project.

After watching this video it looks like all you need to do is open the Production Wizard and configure a few options. The video is specific to the iPod, but you can choose a variety of options to output Mac-compatible video.

Thank you, all, for your help. I will try these suggestions and see what I come up with.
