Clipstart recognizes most digital still cameras, USB-based video cameras, the iPhone 3GS, and the 5th generation iPod Nano. When connected, the "Import from Folder" button in the tolbar will be replaced with the name of the camera (or inserted SD card). Press the "Import" button to see a preview of movies on the camera and optionally apply a tag to them before importing.
Clipstart should recognize most cameras directly connected with a cable. If your camera does not show up, try taking the SD card out and using a USB or FireWire card reader so that Clipstart can access it.
See copying and file locations for more information about where imported videos from a camera are stored.
