7.1 Capture Video
Step 1. Connect your camera to the computer and turn the power
on. Launch the program. From the welcome wizard, select
"Capture, create, or edit videos." From the next screen, select
"Capture From Device."
If you already have the program open, click "Capture" at the top
of the screen to go to the Capture module.
Step 2. Once within the Capture module, you'll see controls for
navigating through the video on your camera.
Use the playback controls to
jump to the spot where you
would like to begin recording.
Step 3. Click the big red Record button beneath the preview
window. You'll be prompted to define the specifics of the file you
are about to capture:
-
Choose the file name and save location.
-
Set the file type. If you plan on using the video when you
create a DVD, choose the DVD (MPEG-2) file type.
-
Optionally, enter a capture time. If you have a really long
video and only want to capture a small part, use this
option.
-
Optionally, check the box to add your captured file to an
album. If you plan on doing any type of editing, your file
will need to be in an album. See Section 3.3 for more
information on albums.
Step 4. When you are finished recording, click Stop. You can view
your captured file by clicking the Playback button.
For more information on capturing video, see Section 2.1.
