Capturing Video

In CyberLink PowerProducer you can capture video (including the audio) from:

a DV camcorder

an HDV camcorder

a TV

a PC webcam

a VCR

To begin capturing video, do this:

1. In the Capture section of the Content panel, click the Video button.

Note: make sure that your DV or HDV camcorder is turned on and set to VCR

mode in order for it to be detected by CyberLink PowerProducer. If your camcorder

connects to your computer via a USB connection, just import the video files directly

from your camcorder, as if it was another hard drive on your computer. See

Importing Media Files for information on importing video files from your computer.

2. In the Capture Video window, select the source device in the drop-down that

you want to capture video from.
