Import Videos from a Digital Camera

You can import videos from a digital camera or smartphone and save them on your computer. If your camera stores the videos on a memory card, you can also use a memory card reader attached to your PC to upload the digital videos from the removable drive that Windows sets up when you insert the card.

To perform the import directly from your digital camera or smartphone, you need a cable to connect your device to your PC. Most digital cameras and smartphones come with a USB cable. After you have the digital videos on your system, you can view them.
