Best way to import mini DV
Posted: Dec 13, 2006 09:34
I’m building a directors reel and bit newbie.
anyway, an editor working with sent me back footage on mini DV.
I’ll have to import it to computer via a camcorder.
I have on my computer Final Cut Express HD as well as Quick Time Pro.
What is the easiest way to do this and what is procedure? thanks! -

Plug camcorder into computer via FireWire.
Open FCP.
Open “Log and Capture” window.
Capture your clips.If you need more basic FCP instruction, go to the following link and ask:

The FCP manual is a great resource, too.

Thax :
thanks. so you definitely think that FCP express is better route than Quick Time Pro? -

Others have experienced serious problems trying to edit using Final Cut Pro video files that were originally captured using Quicktime Pro. I can only assume that Final Cut Express would be a similar situation.

Hmm Don:
I don’t even know what on the mini DV if it’s quicktime or what yet -
If it’s on the midiDV, it’s not in any particular computer format.
Tapes hold footage, not files.
Just do as the earlier posts suggested.
