Quick Reference
Importing from a Mini-DV Tape into a Computer
When you insert your mini-DV tape, make sure that DV is selected so you will get device control. Other than that, when importing a
DV tape, this deck should be treated just like any DV camera into programs like iMovie, Final Cut Pro, Premiere, and VideoStudio.
For information and instructions on importing in a certain program, please look in the program's own quick reference guide.
When a DV tape is in the deck, your editing software will automatically control that tape.
Importing from a VHS/S-VHS Tape into a Computer
1. Insert the VHS or S-VHS tape.
2. Open your editing program.
NOTE: If you are using Final Cut Pro, go to File --> Log and Capture. Click the Capture Settings tab, and in the Device Control
drop down menu, choose Non-Controllable Device.
If you are using Premiere, go to File --> Capture. Click on the Settings tab, and under Device Control drop down menu, select None.
If you are using iMovie or VideoStudio, there are no necessary changes to make before importing.
Make sure that any DV tape is ejected from the deck. Also, computers will not control the S-VHS side of the deck. To play, rewind,
fast-forward, etc., you must use the controls on the deck itself.
3. Select S-VHS.
4. Once you fi nd the clip you wish to import by using the jog/shuttle wheel, press play and set the dubbing direction from S-VHS to
DV by pressing <--. The signal is now being converted into a digital signal so your computer can read it. It should appear on your
computer screen.
5. Capture the footage as per usual with your editing program of choice.
