lol I have no idea how unless you tell me what camera it is !!

Your question was originally does it have to be firewire or can you use usb2, and my answer is yes you can use USB2 for HD transfer, no it does not have to be i-link.

I need to get this footage of this camera using prem pro with the usb cable lol

 

[daz2712]

Well that model has a usb output so you shouldn't be having any trouble.

Ignore the above,just found this.

"You can't import movies through USB.

It's gotta be done via firewire, and it's real time"

lol mate i was only kidding myself, no problem.



Daz is right, on this particular model the USB is for Still image access, you need to use iLink for transfer, sorry.
