muvee autoProducer
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 118.
Or
■ Recorded (known as VCR mode) using a recorded
tape in your DV camcorder. See “Capturing
recorded video from a DV camcorder” on
page 118.
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 available on the hard disk drive.
Capturing video can use a large amount of disk space.
The amount of free disk space displays on the Capture
Video window in muvee autoProducer while you are
capturing video.
