OS 10.12. Well after a lot of searching, we finally found the correct app to enable us to transfer the 8mm tape to the computer. It is AVerStudio by name. After completion and clicking HD - users- Admin- Movies is where it finally resided. I have since dragged it into iMovie. Anyone using AVerMedia-EZmaker 7 with Sierra should now have no trouble.

Thanks all.
