Traditions of Mother's Day 2016

As a part of Mother's Day 2016 traditions, children send cards or gifts to their mother or mother figure or make a special effort to visit her. They take their mothers out for a festive lunch or dinner to show their gratitude. Some children even go all the way to cook their mothers large and elaborate dinners, thus giving their mothers a break from preparing food for the family. 

The official flower presented to mothers on mother's day is the red carnation but it is also acceptable for a person to give just about any kind of flower. Another tradition involves displaying white carnation flowers on the grave of dead mothers. Other Common Mother's Day gifts are flowers, chocolate, clothing, jewellery and treats, such as a beauty treatment or trip to a spa. In the days and weeks leading to Mother's Day, many schools help their pupils to prepare a handmade card or small gift for their mothers.

Sony RX10 III XAVC S /AVCHD Video to iMovie Workflow on Mac El Capitan

Sony RX10 III is an excellent digital camera, it is able to shoot UHD 4K video up to 30 fps, and super slow-motion full HD video up to 960 fps. UHD 4K videos are recorded in XAVC S MP4 format, and 1080p videos can be recorded in AVCHD MTS format.

I have not been successful in having iMovie recognize my RX10 when connected with its USB cable. It doesn't know that the camera is attached, even though the computer knows, and thus will not import videos. I've tried all of the USB settings in the camera.

Can someone give me specific instructions for importing videos via iMovie?

As mentioned above, Sony RX10 III recorded video in 4k XAVC S MP4 format and 1080p in AVCHD MTS format, while XAVC S MP4 format is the favored format for most of its users, for it brings better quality and convenient for broadcasting. The only problem usually occurred during the editing process. 

iMovie (7, 9, 11) can't ingest videos from Sony DSC-RX10 III directly mainly because you have recorded video with the the high frame rate 'HFR' videos modes that capture footage at up to 960 fps. iMovie can’t recognize such high frame rate.
