Video capture software other than Pinnacle Studio 9

Post by **Nightshade** » Mon Mar 07, 2005 4:21 pm

Anyone know of any? Does Adobe Premiere do vid capture, or just editing? I have Pinnacle Studio, but for some reason the capture isn't working correctly.
It acts like it's capturing, but when it finishes there's nothing there.

Well you're in luck today!

I use Ulead Visual Studios 8 and that works great

Also Today I got the capture card I ordered and that came with Cyberlink PowerProducer 2 Gold, so as soon as I get it all installed and running I'll let ya know how it works

If you want to capture just a screenshot, SnagIt works awesome. If you want to grab video clips, I would suggest Adobe Premiere.

So Premiere will do capture duty, and not just editing?

Footage from my JVC GRD-31U digital camcorder. At the moment it's just miscellaneous stuff, but shortly it'll be bike video that I'll want to edit together.

If it's a digital camcorder, why don't you just copy the DV stream to your hard disk and transcode it from there?
It would be easier and you would probably get better quality as well.

Yeah, hence the need for the software to capture it.

Camtasia Studio,, you upload the video to your computer then use the studio to put together your video, you can make it a SWF, AVI, Real Player, GIF, WMV or MOV. Add sound. Add menu's or whatever you like really. Automatically converts the audio to MP3. Add Special effects. Capture video from your computer screen.

Does it work on Win2K Server? I found out last night that Premiere doesn't :sad:

I always understood capturing as... well, capturing from an analogue source.
Copying from a digital source is just err... copying.

VirtualDub doesn't do DV, so that's out of the question.

Well, Ulead Visual Studio 8 wouldn't capture it either, and it's telling me that it's not seeing any video at all. That looks like the same thing that Pinnacle did, but minus the error message.
Could this be something in the way the video was recorded? Both programs can talk to and control the camera, so the hardware seems ok. I'm rather new at this and have no idea what the problem might be.

What are you using as an input to get these videos off your camera?

Because I can use ulead with my webcam in the usb and make that work.

EDIT: Oh shit i said visual studio I meant VIdeo studio.....fuck..my bad

No worries, I got the right proggie.
I'm using a PCI Firewire card and a Firewire cable. As I said, the software controls the camera, it just thinks that there's no video there.
