Step 3: Setting Up Video Capture Using Ulead VideoStudio
Before using VideoStudio, you will need to ensure that your Digital Video Camera is set
up properly and recognized by your system. Start out by connecting the FireWire®
connector on your video camera to any of the FireWire® connectors on the DFW-500
Make sure your Digital Video Camera is in
VTR
mode before launching the Ulead
software. Check your camera manual to verify this has been done.
Installing Video Capture Application
Insert the Ulead CD into the CD-ROM drive and follow the on screen instructions.
VideoStudio has a tutorial on the CD that covers the basics of using it. The following
information is intended to help you get started using VideoStudio.
Set Audio and Video Source
You must set the source of your video content. The source is the device the audio and/ or
video is coming from. Open VideoStudio and click on the “G” icon to set the global
preferences. Make sure the Global preferences are set correctly for the source you are
using . Select Microsoft DV Camera and VCR.
