Ah, that makes sense now, thanks!
Can anyone recommend a very cheap, but decent card/converter?
Also, Bruce said:
“You’ll need to get a HD input/output card for your mac and (to see your footage in HD) an HD monitor.”
Just to clarify: if I get an HD i/o card, I can still use my current monitor, right?
Thanks for the help, guys, you’ve saved me a lot of frustration!
