Capture from a TV
You can capture video (including the audio portion) from a TV for
use in PowerProducer by clicking the TV option.
To capture from a TV, do this:
1. Select the source (antenna or cable) of your TV signal.
2. Select the channel you wish to record.
You may enter a duration (in minutes and seconds) in the
Auto-recording duration field to instruct PowerProducer to
capture this amount of video from the time you begin
recording.
3. Select an audio source from the drop-down box. This source
reflects the input source of your audio card.
4. Click to begin capture.
5. Click to end capture when you have captured the video you
want.
After capture, the video appears in the storyboard as a clip. To learn
about the actions you can perform on clips, see Edit Clips on p.26.
