Capturing some of your most important memories on video is great, but what good is it sitting in the camcorder? In order to make the most of your video, it should be transferred to a PC. The easiest way to transfer videos to a PC is by using a USB cable. After that is done, with the correct software, you can edit your videos like a professional, or just distribute them immediately!
Instructions
1. Purchase a USB cable that corresponds to both your camcorder and your PC. This can be done at any electronics store. Consult your owner's manual first to see what type is needed for your exact model.
2. Connect the camcorder and the PC using the USB cable. Make sure the cable is connected tightly to the port, but don't force it.
3. Turn the camcorder and the PC on. Normally the PC will recognize the device and pull up the appropriate program. If it does not, pull the program up manually.
4. Follow the on-screen prompts to upload the video to your PC.
5. Once the video has loaded, shut off the camcorder. Make sure you save the video before doing anything else.
