Episode 31: Importing Analog & Digital Video Into a Computer
D.Lee
Beard and Daryl Royer demonstrate how to import video into a computer and
export back out to video tape. Using an analog to digital video converter
(Canopus ADVC-100) the Techies
explain how to import video from a VHS video tape. They also demonstrate
how to hook up a Sony
GVD-1000 MiniDV video tape deck and import video from a digital camcorder
tape (note that a digital camcorder works the same way, but our lab does
provide thee MiniDV decks so you don't have to bring your camcorder with
you to import your video).
In addition to hooking up the equipment, they show how to actually import video into both iMovie '06 & the more advanced Final Cut Pro 5. (19 min)
