Creating Movies Using muvee autoProducer 87
Capturing video from a DV camcorder
You can capture (copy) digital video files to your hard disk drive by using muvee
autoProducer either:
•Live (known as camera mode) using a compatible DV camcorder. See
“Capturing live video from a DV camcorder” on page 87.
Or
•Recorded (known as VCR mode) using a recorded tape in your DV
camcorder. See “Capturing recorded video from a DV camcorder” on
page 87.
Captured video files are automatically added to your movie project. To remove the
file from your movie project, select the video file in the list of Captured Video Files,
and then click the trash can icon.
When capturing video, it is important to be aware of the amount of free space

disk space. The amount of free disk space displays on the Capture Video window in
muvee autoProducer while you are capturing video.
