How about those of us who just want to make home video productions, something to leave to our kids, but better than just a pile of unedited bundle of miniclips of family trips and gatherings? What is the recommendation for capturing the video from our camcorder into our PC for editing and compositing intentions? And what about for that pre’dvd stage of the process? That step when we have the video (image and sound) the way we want it but it is just one scene of the final dvd movie we want to make? What format would you recommend so the file is not humongeous but it does not lose quality once we transfer them into dvd? I use Premiere for editing, AE for compositing and effects )that I normally take back to Premiere for final editing, and normaly burn my dvd using nero. My PC is a Dual Core 1.6, 1.5GB RAM, NVIDIA 512 video card, running XP. I use Omega external HDD for storage.

Thank U very much. It is impressive: that was exactly what I was looking for, an expression to do just that.

I am amazed: is there anything CreativeCow is not able to solve? This forum is, without any doubt, one of the true jewells of the world wide web.

Thanks again for the help.

I have to disagree. Hard Disk Drive cams make it easy to review your footage (w/o rewinding) onsite (just as you would on a digital photo cam), easier access to footage, no hissing sound (from the motor of your MiniDV cam moving the tape)added to your sound track and easiness to transfer the files to the computer, among many other advantages. I agree the formats are uncomfortable because most NLE don

Thx guys for all the responses. I found them all extremelly helpful. I have just found exactly what I was looking for in an episode of digitaljuice TV (https://www.digitaljuice.com/djtv/segment_detail.asp?sid=203&sortby=&page=2&kwid=0&show=all_videos)

In fact, I found plenty more than I was looking for.

Again, THANK YOU GUYS

Dave LaRonde You could just do it in an editing application, no AE needed. Okay, you may want to use AE to make the footage look worse, like a security camera would.

I thought of that too, like manually dividing the footage, but that would be a lot of effort. I was wondering if there was an expression or a pluggin that could do just that in a semi-automated form.

Thx for the tips though.
