DV direct to QuickTime

It is now possible to import your footage from a DV camera directly to QuickTime Pro 7. This feature was first announced in an Apple “Tip of the Week” last month. The process is really very simple.

1. Connect your digital video camera.
2. Click on the QuickTime Pro icon.
3. Select”New Move recording” from the File menu.

A new window should appear like the one to the right. Simply click the red record button and QuickTime will do the rest.

Once you have imported the movie click the stop button and save your “instant” QuickTime File.

The process also works for recording audio directly to QuickTime which may be of use when overdubbing a movie clip etc. The process is identical only this time select “New Audio Recording” from the file menu.

Note: If your file menu does not have “New Movie Recording” then you will need to upgrade to QuickTime Pro - see www.apple.com/quicktime
