Transfer video from iphone to pc free :
If you're new here,all the links to everything,I mention in this post.you can find linked in the given below.
So let's jump into it. Now whether you have shot your videos on your iPhone or iPad and you want to edit them on your PC or you've got the footage saved from your camera on your Windows computer,but you wanna edit them on your iPhone,the process to actually import or transfer the files between your PC and your iPhone or iPad is unfortunately not as seamless as you might hope.
The good news is that there are actually a few easy ways to do it. So in this video we're gonna run through the options that I'd recommend that'll have you covered no matter what your circumstances.Just a heads up that there are actually a couple of different options that we're gonna cover off here and you might find that one of them works particularly well with your workflow,so I definitely suggest sticking around to see all the different options available before you jump off and put it into action.
Okay, so we're gonna start off with getting your files off your phone or your iPad and onto your computer.
How to transfer videos from pc to iPhone with itunes :
So the first wat we're gonna look at is using the cable that came with your phone.So you wanna plug your phone using the lightning cable into a USB port on your computer.
Now, it may pop up straight away saying that you need to trust or authorize the device, so make sure that you accept that, then all you need to do is open up a Explorer window and come over to this PC, and then you can open up there Apple iPhone.
So double click on that.Internal storage.DCIM, 100 Apple.And here are all your photos and video files on the phone.
So, to get them off, all you need to do is select the ones that you want and you can just drag them into the folder that you want or drag them somewhere like your desktop and they'll start to copy off. So really straightforward. If you don't have your cable with you or you wanna transfer them off using wifi, then if you go to the app store and install the VLC for mobile app. With that app installed,you just wanna open up then the photos app and hit select and pick the photos or the videos that you wanna transfer to your computer.
Vlc for iphone :
So just tap on the ones that you want. Let's press these five. Then we'll go share down in the bottom left, and here you wanna pick save to files. Go through and prepare your files to copy them over,and then you'll just wanna pick the VLC folder and choose add.That shouldn't take long at all 'cause it's just copying the filed internally into that VLC app.So now when we go back to the VLC app, you can see that we've got these files here in it ready to go.
So now that you've got your files in there,you do wanna turn on one more setting,so that we access those from the computer.
So let's go back up to that marker cone there in top left hand corner and make sure that sharing via wifi is selected.
Vlc app : click to download
You'll see that it's got a web address there. 192.168.86.23, that might be different depending on your actual network setup.What you wanna do is type out that web address into your desktop computer.
Now both your computer and your phone will need to be on the same network, but they don't necessarily need to be connected via wifi.So your computer, if it doesn't have wifi,this is still gonna work as long as the two are connected to the same network.So if I open up my web browser, I will then type in that address,and that'll open up that app on our phone as a website,but we can directly interact with our phone.
You see we've got the option here to download those files that are in there. So then it's just a matter of picking the files that we want.So this one here, it'll start to play but we can pause it.Let me just right click and choose save video as, and we can choose where we want to save it to,
so maybe here just under downloads, hit save, and that's gonna happen pretty quick because it's not going over the internet,it's just talking direct to your phone.So if we open up Downloads now, there's the file there.So that's how easy it is to get your files and photos and things off your iPad or iPhone and onto your Windows computer.
Now to get the files back the other way,the process is pretty similar,but depending on the app that you wanna use these files in, the process can be a little bit different.
So the first method I'm gonna show you is using iTunes.
Now for this method, you will need to have your phone connected to your computer again, with the USB to lightning cable that came with the phone.So once you've plugged in
your phone, open up iTunes.Now you may need to grant access or give permission to your phone again to allow it to connect.And what you wanna do is click this little picture of a phone here.Then you wanna come down to file sharing and you can see here that we've got a heap of different apps.
Transfer photos, videos from pc to iPhone or iphone to pc in easy way :
DJI Go, iMovie, Fronto,all of these apps here will have something to do with video or photo and editing and playback.So these apps here you can actually directly import the files straight to those apps for use in it.
So all we need to do is either pick the app that you want,
so for us, we'll just pick iMovie.So you can either then drag and drop your files into this window or you can click add file here.
But our files are right here on the desktop,so let's just grab these files here and drag them over to this area.You can see when we let go,the files start copying over automatically.
So this will work with any audio files, video files,or any photos or anything that you want to use in your iMovie app.
So once the files are on the actual phone,we'll jump back over to the phone,open up iMovie, and then down in the bottom left hand corner,you'll see this download or import button,so press on that.Then select iTunes down in the bottom,and we've got the import five files.So when we press that,it's going to bring those five files in that we just imported from the computer and drop them into a new iMovie project.
And you can see that it's even created a timeline there with all of those clips ready to go in it. So that's how you can import your files directly into an individual app.So the same would apply if you want your files in Lumafusion to edit your videos in that.
So now if you wanna transfer your files back to your phone over the network or over wifi,then the process is almost exactly the same that we ran through earlier using VLC.So make sure you've got the VLC app installed on your phone,
open up VLC, click the little cone in the top left hand corner,
and make sure that sharing via wifi is enabled.Then over on your computer,you wanna open up your web browser
and type in that same number.And then to send your files over to the phone,you can just drag and drop them into the window here,or you can come up here to the plus button to pick them manually.
So we've got them here on the desktop,let's just select these files and drag them onto the window here.You can see that they are transferring over wirelessly.Again, your computer and your phone will need to be connected to the same network.So now, back on the phone inside the VLC app,we can see that we've got those files there that are now on our phone,but they're still inside the VLC app.
So in order to use them in any other app,we need to save them out.So if you press edit in the top right hand corner,
select all the files that you wanna use there,you can just press select all at the top,and then down in the bottom left hand corner,you can see the share button or the export button.
IMOVIE :
So if we press on that,then we either get to choose to drop them directly into the apps that we wanna use them in,like you've got there copy to LumaFusion,copy to iMovie, and then they'll be able to be accessed inside of those apps.
Or if you just want them into the photos app,then you can just press save five videos,'cause we've got five videos selected,
which is in the bottom left hand corner.Then just hit okay to give VLC permission to copy the files into your photos and it's done. The third option is to use a cloud based platform.Could be iCloud, it could be Google Drive,
it could be Dropbox, but the idea is that you share your files out to one of those platforms and upload your files to the cloud,and then on your phone or your iPad,you open up that app for that service and you download those files back to your device.
ITunes :
The biggest downside with this method, though,is obviously your internet bandwidth.If you're gonna be moving large files up to the cloud and then downloading them back to your device,it could take a really long time.
So depending on your workflow,type of videos you're creating,and how you're actually shooting your videos, this might be the method for you.Okay, so those are my top recommended ways for transferring your files between your iPhone and your PC.
