Put a Video on the Computer From a Panasonic Camcorder?
Panasonic is one of the largest producers in home based video cameras in the world. Many of the large movie production studios also use Panasonic equipment. However, if you have recorded your own content onto a Panasonic camcorder, you probably want a way to import the video content onto a computer so you can edit and create your own finished product.
Instructions
1. Insert the video tape into the Panasonic camcorder. Most Panasonic video cameras use a MiniDV video; however, others user larger DV tapes, while others record onto DVDs, memory cards or internal hard drives. Whatever the media used to record the video make sure it is inserted into the camera.
2. Connect the Panasonic camcorder to the computer. If the camera and computer have a Firewire cable port, use this because it provides better quality uploads and streams the video faster than other cables. However, USB cabels can also be used to send the video content to the computer.
3. Launch your video editing software on the computer. There are a wide range of video editing programs you can use on your computer, some of which actually come free on the operating system when you first purchase it. Windows computers, for example, come with Windows Movie Maker installed.
4. Power on the Panasonic camcorder and set it to "VCR." This turns the camera into playback mode.
5. Select the "Capture" option in the video editor. You are going to be given a selection of different video devices you can record and import video from. Select the Panasonic camcorder you have connected to the computer. Click the "Record" button and the video is going to begin the capture process. Click "Stop" once all of the video content from the Panasonic camera has finished its capture.
