Acquire Content
The first step in any production is acquiring content. You may
already have digital files you simply want to import into
PowerProducer, or you may have raw footage from either an analog
or a digital source that you need to capture.
Your production can contain a mixture of video and photos. If you
would like to mix still photos with video clips, you must separately
acquire your video media and create a photo slideshow (see Produce
a Photo Slideshow on p.29).
Note: If you would like to add a single still image to a video
production, you must still create a slideshow of an album
containing one photo.
The import and capture functions are located on the Import/Capture
Content page within the Produce Movie Disc function.
To get to the Import/Capture Content page, do this:
1. Start CyberLink PowerProducer.
2. Click Produce Movie Disc.
3. Click to bypass the Select Your Disc page.
Note: You can either adjust the settings on this page now or
return to this page to modify them later.
4. Select an import or capture source from the list of available
devices on the left-hand side.
The procedures for acquiring content depend on the kind of device
used. The sections that follow describe the specific steps to take for
importing or capturing content using the devices available to
PowerProducer.
