how do you put video from a camera on your computer so you can edit it?

Question

i recorded a movie now how do i put it onthe computer so i can add titles and music?

Answer 1

Media computer or some software such as Roxio My DVD 8 will edit videos.

Answer 2

if you have a camera that supports fire wire that is the best if not you need a capture device. Pinnacle Systems Dazzle DVD is a good starter setup but not if you are wanting professional work. Basically both work the same way, you play the video and the devices encode the movie into mpg format. Then you can edit the movies with a number of video editing software.
One other idea and this is the one I use, if you have a TV top DVD burner, you can use it to capture the video and then rip the DVD to the PC. This way you can store the original for future use.

good luck

When you bought the video camera you should of gotton a lead that connects it to the computer, either a firewire(fast) or a usb(slower). Here you can just plug it in and then click on the camera in my computer and it should open a file and you can copy it into my documents, then u can use a software for example Microsoft movie maker and there are other free 1s about or you can buy some real good 1s, like Adobe premier
