To bring footage into a Premiere Pro project, you can
capture it, or digitize it, depending on the type of source material:
- Capture
- You capture digital video from a live camera or from tape:
you record it from the source to the hard disk. Many digital camcorders
and decks record video to tape. You capture the video from tape
to the hard disk before using it in a project. Premiere Pro captures
video through a digital port, such as a FireWire or SDI port installed
on the computer. Premiere Pro saves captured footage to disk as
files, and imports the files into projects as clips. You can use
Adobe After Effects to start Premiere Pro and start the capture
process. Alternatively, you can use Adobe OnLocation to capture
video.
- Digitize
- You digitize analog video from a live analog camera source
or from an analog tape device. You digitize the analog video, convert
it to digital form, so your computer can store and process it. The
capture command digitizes video when a digitizing card or device
is installed in the computer. Premiere Pro saves digitized footage
to disk as files, and imports the files into projects as clips.
For a video tutorial on capturing and importing assets, see www.adobe.com/go/vid0231.
Note: While capturing footage, you can monitor audio levels in the
Audio Masters Meter panel.
