Well, I've ordered a new RT.X10 for my system. I'm pretty excited.
I must admit, that here among you, many of whom impress me as being quite acomplished with editing, that I feel abit sheepish about my purchase.
The RT.X10 is likely a bit more hardware than I need at the moment for editing my home movies. But, when I shoped for equipment, I was continually impressed with the feature set of the card, and at $499 was well priced, IMHO. I looked at the DV bridges for the purposes of capturing my analog footage, but I figure if I'm going to invest a couple hudred into that, I might be better served with a more fature rich card, in the long run.
So... wish me luck (and don't be afraid to offer reassuring comments to make me feel better
).
Anyways... my first question is: when I get the system set up, I intend to take my Analog tapes and do a single long capture off the tape, rather than isolate all the clips and capture them manually. Then, I'll take the file and use Premiere to "clip" the indivdule scenes into smaller files for use in editing and archiving. Is there a simple way to do this in Premiere? Or would I be better off with the laborious task of capturing indvidule scenes off the tape?
Thanks in advance,
Charles
