Capture video

• Direct capture from a digital camera (MiniDV, some USB, some high definition cameras but as standard DV via Firewire only. NOTE: this option is NOT available on all high definition cameras).
• Capture video from 2 MiniDV cameras at the same time to create one composited file or two individual files. (Pro v.7 only)
• Import video files from other sources such as avi, wmv, MPEG1, MPEG2 (from DVD cameras), MPEG4, AVCHD (H264 High Definition). (Pro v.7 only)
• Capture from analog devices (security cameras, TV, VCR) using an analog to digital converter (sold separately).
• Set capture time limit.
• Quick Present means one click from start capture to analyse
• Pause the capturing to cut out unwanted periods but keep one video file.
• Control the MiniDV camera from the software for precise control when capturing from tape (start, stop, pause, slow motion and fast motion forward and backward).
• Auto numbering for multiple captures without manually renaming each file.
• Two editable pull-down description boxes for quick file naming.
• Optional audio capture.
