NEED HELP WITH VIDEO EDITING!!!!

[layton]

Hey,

So i've got about an hour of truly amazing digital video footage i took with my friends camera. My problem is that i don't have a firewire jack on my laptop to edit from the video camera he has (only option to connect his camera to my 'puter as far as either of us know).

 

Anyway, i've do two killer digital video tapes just laying around. I need to edit them down b/c 80% of the footage is unusable shakey, swirley, sunglaring crap.

 

Any ideas of how i can either a.)hook the dig video camera to the computer so i can edit with Premier

or b.)where can i go to edit and save the good clips to cd?

 

thank you so much for helping! i will share my footage when i am done.

Check this out, D-Link USB/Firewire Combo Hub

 

Thought so. From the install guide:

Before You Begin

You must have at least the following:

• Pentium 233 MHz or faster with 64MB RAM

• Available USB 2.0 Port

• Available Firewire Port

• Windows XP, 2000, Me, 98SE, or Mac OS 10.1 and above for both

USB 2.0 and Firewire Operation

 

So you already need to have a firewire port to use this hub.

 

Mike, I'll dump the video for you. I'll send you a PM.

Find a bro-brah with a Mac. Firewire and a DV editing suite on any recent Mac AFAIK.
