Capture from HDV Camcorder
HDV camcorders are also quite popular among video enthusiasts, as
they record in a digital format that does not require conversion before
being used on a computer, and often provide a number of advanced
recording options. You can capture scenes from your HDV
camcorder into PowerDirector. The procedure is described below.
To capture a single scene from a HDV camcorder, do this:
Note: Make sure your camcorder is in VCR mode before capturing.
1. Click to open Capture mode.
2. Click to open the HDV camcorder capture function. (You
may have to wait a few moments as PowerDirector switches
devices.)
3. Locate the position at which you would like to begin capturing.
You may do this in one of the following ways:
• Use the playback buttons.
• Drag the time slider.
