Introduction
Your MovieStar software is modularly designed and very easy to use.
In this chapter, we will show you how to accomplish three primary
tasks:
■
Recording Video
- from a camcorder or other video source to
your PC.
■
Editing Video
- using Dazzle MovieStar.
■
Outputting Video
- from your PC to a TV/VCR, CD, or the
Internet.
In order to perform these tasks you will need a camcorder or other
video source, the DVC-II hardware, and a Personal Computer with
the Dazzle MovieStar installed on it (refer to the
Quickstart
Installation Guide
for more information).
Recording Video
To edit your analog video using MovieStar, you need to make a
digital copy of the video to your PC. This is known as capturing
video.
To Capture Video:
1 Launch the MovieStar software.
■
In Windows, click the Start button and go to the Programs
sub-menu. Move the pointer to the Dazzle DVC II group, and click
on the MovieStar icon.
