Video Making

[Twister II]

Ive seen your camra's that you guys use. But both record onto tape. How do you put that tape onto the computer to make your videos?

Most modern cameras have a Firewire port on them, so you'd need a Firewire capable video card for your computer. You hook the camera to the computer, and access and control the camera through a video editing program, like Adobe Premiere. You pull the video in from the camera to the hard drive, and edit the video, then output it back to the video camera. That's the simplest way to describe it. Hope this helps!

Yeah, what ^ said...

 

Once you have a firewire card, even the built in Windows Movie Maker will import and export your movies to and from your DV camera. Just select "High Quality" DV-AVI and you're all set!

Yea i use Windows movie maker to rip my video from my camcorder. Mainly because it automatically splits the recording into each little clip, then i can still save each clip in DV-AVI format
