Working with Digital Video
The multimedia software preinstalled on your VAIO ® computer makes it easy to import and edit videos from a compatible
digital video (DV) or MICROMV 1 camera equipped with an i.LINK ® 2 connector. After editing your creations, you can export
them back to your video camera.
With MovieShaker software , you can arrange your video clips, still images, and sound files yourself into a finished
movie, or let the Shake function use the files you've selected to create a polished video for you by automatically combining
your video clips, still images, and sound with video effects and transitions.
DVgate software offers advanced and powerful video import and export features, as well as precise editing. DVgate
software provides complete control over all aspects of capturing, editing, and exporting digital video.
Selected VAIO ® computer models also include Adobe ® Premiere ® LE software , a popular video editing application that
is both powerful and easy to use. For more information about this software, refer to the online Help for Adobe Premiere LE.
Whichever software you choose, the basic process of importing, editing, and exporting is the same.
The Video Editing Process
1. Connect a compatible digital video (DV) or MICROMV camera to your computer using an i.LINK ® cable.
2. Start the video editing software.
3. Use the video editing software to capture video clips from the DV camera.
4. Use the video editing software to assemble the clips into a finished movie.
5. Use the video editing software to export the finished movie back to the video camera.
You can also save finished movies to your hard disk drive for use on the World Wide Web, to send to others by e-mail, or to
distribute on CD-ROM (on computer models that include a CD-recording device).
