Sony Camcorder Video Capture Software
BEST VIDEO CAPTURE SOFTWARE?
Hi,
I have a sony mini camcorder, and an IEEE interface. whats the best and simplest software to use for video capture, that makes it look like pro but is easy breazy to caputure/edit/ aid special effects ……..software price is not an issue, also where can I get a step by step demonstration for that, for a starter like me, as I am totally new to this digital video capture and edit stuff, thanks a lot
There’s always Windows Movie Maker in Windows, and iMovie in Mac.
It’s really not the tool but your creativity that makes a movie look professional. Especially because you ARE a starter, I’d stick with these two basics, learn them well, then maybe move on to Final Cut Pro and stuff like that, because you won’t be able to understand there larger scale models of video software if you don’t know the basics. But the learning curve is very nice, so you can catch on to iMovie or WMM pretty easily –it’s mostly drag and drop, cut and paste.
I do suggest though, that you work with a widescreen format, that always helps a video look nice. And also avoid most screen effects that any of these softwares provide for you. The worst videos always use the same old “sepia” or “old movie” effect with the cheesy reticulation and overprocessed gunk that comes with most video software.
Also very important: learn how to use a video camera keeping in mind composition, lighting, sound, set, and more –because that’s really what makes or breaks the line between a amateur and pro.
