Capturing video from a digital video camera

You can use muvee autoProducer to capture (copy) digital video files to your hard disk drive in either of the following ways:

Live (known as camera mode) by using a compatible digital video (DV) camera. See “Capturing live video from a DV camera.”

Recorded (known as VCR mode) by using a recorded tape in your DV camera. See “Capturing recorded video from a DV camera.”

Captured video files are automatically added to your movie project. To remove the file from your movie project, select it in the list of captured video files, and then click the trash can icon.
