Capturing Video and Audio
Now you are ready to capture video or audio footage from practically anything
digital or analog stored in your library and transforming it into digital footage with
special effects directly authored from PowerDirector.
This section will cover video capture devices that are input through your adapter
cards via video ports such as Composite video, S-Video or Tuner and also audio
capture devices through ports such as Audio In or from your audio CD. However,
this section won’t include capturing from a DV camcorder. Please refer to "Capturing
from DV Camcorders" on page 57 for more information.
Make sure your devices are installed properly with the proper drivers. Refer to their
respective user's guide for more information.
1 Start PowerDirector. Click the Capture Mode located on the Modes Wheel.
2 Depending on the content you would like to capture (audio or video), click the
appropriate Capture icon, either Analog Video Capture or Audio
Capture .
