Re: Capturing Video from camera with Premiere 5.5

Actually, Sony Camcorders have what they call ILink, which is a small connector that can be on the other end of a USB 2.0 cable or a Firewire cable....all miniDV camcorders have an option similiar to this. That makes it really easy...

If you're using an analog camcorder, those dazzle devices are pretty nice....most of the time you can plug the audio from a composite cable into the dazzle device, but if not of if you choose otherwise, you can plug into the line in port of your sound card. I reccomend investing in the next up dazzle model too. Depending on the quality of your soundcard, that could effect the quality of sound picked up.


Digital Video Creator 80
Retails around $69.99.
I've known people to use that and are pretty happy with those results.

Anyway, I've played aroudn with a lot of video editing software in my lifetime, such as Ulead VideoStudio, Pinnacle Studio 8, Adobe Premiere 5 all the way to 6.5 and the Microsoft Movie maker....they're all pretty good and have their advantages and disadvantages.

Let me know if you need anymore help.
