To Edit video from Video Cameras that record to DVDs


Bringing in files from a camcorder that records to the small DVD discs is easy. You can do it in Studio 9, 10 and 11. Since the file is already recorded you do not use the Step 1 (Capture). For DVDs, all you have to do is click on the "file" menu, scroll down to "Import DVD Titles" and make sure that the DVD is in your DVD drive. Then select the DVD that you want to import, type a name for the disc, click on the files that you want to import and then click on the "Import" button. Prior to doing this you can also play the files and preview them to make sure they are the ones that you want.
 

Audio Converter/ Audio Grabber Download this program for free and use it to convert any of 16 types of audio files to wav files to use in Pinnacle.

Be sure to download this update for Smartsound Quicktracks Plugin first!
