PremierePro is a DV AVI NLE, to edit Mpeg2 you need third party hardware or software plugins, Main Concept https://www.mainconcept.com has some, also there are utilities that will convert Mpeg2 to DV, but you are going to loose some resolution when converting as Mpeg2 is more compressed than DV.

The reason I asked about the processor is that if it was a Pentium D, You maybe could get enough speed out for most RT, Like Paul mentioned the RTX will give you alot of help, but be aware that its not without some problems, it would be a good idea to peruse the Adobe Ppro and Matrox factory forums to get an idea of what headaches people are having.

What processor are you running in the GX620?
-
What camcorder is it? some have a “A/V->DV Out” on/off in the VCR menu.

Just curious what editing on a laptop has to do with someone’s sale of a MultiCam Package?

If you can find/borrow a digital-8 camcorder you can playback and convert the 8mm directly to DV and capture via firewire, sometimes you can find one in a pawnshop.

AfterEffects is excellent software, to do quick animations I use Blufftitler, you can download a demo and try it: https://www.outerspace-software.com/blufftitler.html

Usually the Video from still cams is for emailing and internet use, not for editing in a higher quality format, on a computer it doesn’t look too bad, Like Olympus QT mov is 640×480 at 15fps in the HQ mode, the Mpeg4 like his cam uses, also some other models is 640×480 at 30fps, so its not too bad in its native format, but since its a highly compressed delivery format there is a quality loss when converting.

[Mav777] “the camera has a Quicktime option..I wanted to ‘rescue’ mpeg 4 footage that the Olympus c-770 had already taken…”
Quicktime Pro will work with Mpeg4, just download it into the computer, edit it in QT or use QT to convert it to a AVI format your NLE can use, or as Mike mentioned take the A/V out of the cam and play it into a DV camcorder and record it then load the video into a computer using firewire and use the NLE of your choice, the Mpeg4 is 30 frames per second in the 640 x 480 SHQ mode so the quality should be at least VHS.[Mav777] “The other option we have is to use more of our promotion points on a SONY DVD Handycam..would this be an easier option? Again I don’t know what sort of file format these type of cameras use”
The DVD camcorders use minidiscs that play in settop players or can be loaded into a computer, the software that Sony bundles with the cams can be problematical, if you can use your points towards a MiniDV camcorder it would simplify things. -
That would work But! depending on the framerate and frame size you might end up with fuvideo, the cd that comes with most Olympus cams has quicktime included, and for $29 you can change it to QTpro and edit/transcode the video a bit better.
