Overview
Studio 12.1 brings video in through multiple tools (1) the capture interface, (2) the DVD import tool and (3) the Import Media tool. In Studio click on the Capture tab to view a dialog box that will help you chose the right tool for the video device you are working with.
If you have one of the following video devices, DV, HDV, Hi-8, Regular 8, or a VCR then you will use this button to bring your video into Studio. If you have a DV or HDV camcorder you will connect this to a 1394 (firewire port) on the computer. If the video device is analog (i.e. Hi-8, Regular 8, Camcorder or VCR) then you will also need to connect it to the computer via a capture device as listed below:
- 500 PCI
- 700 PCI
- MovieBox USB
- MovieBox Deluxe
- MovieBox Ultimate
- Dazzle capture devices
- Any capture device that takes RCA and S-Video Input
(Note: Studio does not support third party capture devices that capture in MPEG, and may not work with non Pinnacle capture devices that do AVI or other types of capture)
