Hi Richard, The Shotwell video import feature is not designed to work with camcorders, only with PTP- or MSC-type digital cameras. The reason for this is that the underlying tool that we use in Shotwell for camera access, a common Linux device library called GPhoto2, has at best only spotty support for camcorders. That said, the line between digital cameras and camcorders is increasingly becoming blurred. As I'm sure you know, almost all consumer point-and-shoot digital cameras now support video; likewise, many camcorders allow grabbing frames as still images. So more complete camcorder support is something that we might need to consider for an upcoming version of Shotwell. Just to get a bit more information here, what model of Sony camcorder are you using?
