Features

MotionDV STUDIO is a software allowing to connect a Personal Computer to a digital video device (like a digital movie camera) and to edit images.

Image editing includes non linear editing and tape (linear) editing. With MotionDV STUDIO, you can carry out both. You can also carry out hybrid editing, combining the benefits of both methods.

Non linear editing

The images of the digital video device are downloaded to the PC and edited. This method allows to apply several special effects.

1 Image capture (Capture)

2 Arranging the captured images (videoclip)

3Editing/Processing

Video effects, transition effects and audiomix can be applied to the videoclips.

Otherwise, you can use the titler to apply the

effects.

4Recording on tape or other media

You can record edited contents in a digital video device equipped with DV input function.

Tape (linear) editing (To perform this

2 Flow of data, including image information

editing, the PC must be equipped with 2

 

 

i.LINK/IEEE1394a standard terminals)

 

 

Editing is performed by connecting 2 digital video

 

 

devices to the PC. When applying this editing

 

 

method, images are not downloaded to the PC,

 

 

and the PC just controls the 2 devices. (Images

 

 

are sent directly from the first to the second

 

 

device)

Hybrid editing

It allows to exploit the benefits of non linear editing and of tape editing.

Non linear editing allows to insert several special effects, but you need a great capacity hard-disk to download long-playing images. (1GB every 4 minutes of images.) On the other hand, with tape (linear) editing you can easily edit long-playing images, but you can't add special effects and audio. MotionDV STUDIO allows to effectively use

tape editing for long-playing images and non linear editing for the scenes to which you wish to add special effects.
