Re: FLASH: OT - Video capture, editing & output

[Sohrab Pirayesh]

Your getting into tough territory.


Hi8 is an anolog format, the 1394(apple calls it firewire, sony calls it

i.link) port imports digital information. its meant for cameras that record

in DV or in D8. You have three options


    -import anolog ( for this you have to buy an anolog capture card for

your mac which can be rather expensive, check out

http://www.miro.com/start.asp )

    -buy the sony converter, convert your footage to dv, edit it, convert it

back to anolog     and send it back to your camera.

    -buy a DV or D8 camera and reshoot your footage


These are all pretty expensive solutions, but those are the only ones that

come to mind. About editing software, use apple's final cut pro, it was

designed to work on teh G4, so it will be more stable and more powerful than

premiere.
