How to import Olympus E-M5 video to iMovie

The best workflow to import Olympus OM-D E-M5 videos to iMovie is to transcoding to Apple InterMediate Codec, which ensure best results when working with iMovie. Here is how.



The E-M5 is the first camera in an OM-Digital lineup that will run alongside the PEN series and, according to the company, its Four Thirds models. For reasons of clarity, it should be stated that this isn't a continuation of the old OM line - the OM-D models won't be SLRs and are based around Micro Four Thirds, not OM lens mounts. However, they do embody the spirit of the much-loved camera line - a small, well-built camera designed for enthusiasts. And, particularly in silver and black form, the E-M5 is one of best looking cameras we've encountered in some time.

Most Olympus cameras support capturing 1080/30p full HD video and maybe you often use E-M5 to record videos. If you're take a glance at the footage, you may find the E-M5 recorded video is formatted in MPEG-4/H.264 MOV or AVI format. The files you are getting out of Olympus E-M5 are suited to be delivered as is, which is not one you want to use for editing within iMovie. Therefore, in order to import Olympus E-M5 videos to iMovie 08/09/11 for editing smoothly, you need to convert them to a more editing-friendly format, such as Apple Intermediate Codec which ensures maximum editing quality and efficiency when working with iMovies.
