This worked fine for my VHS tape transfer project but with the arrival of my first grandchild, my son bought an HD camcorder so I upgraded to Vegas Pro 8.
Then, I decided to buy a Canopus capture card and it happened to be bundled with Vegas 4.0. I visited a local system builder that specialized in workstations for video editing and tried Adobe Premier briefly. I thought the interface was well designed for a person just learning the concepts of video, but the bugs drove me to use more than the normal number of swear words at high volume.Īfter a while, my wife encouraged me to get a 'professional' editor so we could have some peace around the house.
After using the software that came with the capture card for a while, I tried Pinnacle. In 2003, I bought a video capture card to transfer my VHS tapes to DVD.
I was a professional musician in a past life. In the mid to late 1990s, I used CD Architect and Sound Forge 4.5 to transfer a large number of my open-reel audio tapes to CD.
