16 Import video
Note: Not all computers feature a FireWire interface. in most cases, this may
be added without much trouble. In this case, talk to your computer specialist.
Note: You may also use a HDV camera in DV mode to, for example, transfer
recordings in the old DV format. We have noted problems with this mode in
many cameras, and therefore recommend that the Record mode of the
camera is also switched to DV, switching the camera off and then on again.
MiniDV/HDV cameras - transferring scenes
The camera can be conveniently controlled in
MAGIX Video easy with the remote control.
Simply go to the position that you would like
to transfer to MAGIX Video easy and click the
"Transfer video to computer" button.
Repeat the process until all of the desired scenes have been transferred.
Important: The camera must replay the cassette at the original tempo to
transfer the material, which may take some time.
Import from analog sources (e.g. video recorder)
Video recordings that were created using analog camcorders or that are
played back with a vidfeo recorder must first be recorded with the computer
and then converted to digital video. This requires special hardware that
features a video import (TV, video, or video-in graphics card).
The so-called "video grabber“, "video capture device", or "video cards" are all
available, plus insertable cards that need to be built in and activated by
computer specialists, or even USB or FireWire devices.
