Each capture will be displayed as a separate clip under the preview window. You can capture several Still images by clicking the "Photo" button repeatedly. You can alternate between motion capture and still image capture 22 while the camcorder is in play mode. .

File Size Limitations 4 Gigabytes = 18 minutes of DV If you are using Windows 98 with the FAT32 file system the largest size file allowed by Windows is 4 Gigabytes. This means that you will hit this 4 Gigabyte file size limit in about 18 minutes. Also, any single movie you create with a series of movie clips can be no longer than 18 minutes. This is not a limitation of the PYRO card or Video Studio or Media Studio Pro, but a limitation of the operating system. The "DV Smart Play" feature helps you to get around this limitation. Other ways that you can create longer movies is by saving in a compressed video format such as MPEG 1, VCD, MPEG 2 or Quick Time, but remember that only DV encoded video can be transmitted back to the digital camcorder. Saving Your Project Save your project often to keep all settings, titles and effects you have created for your movie. Saving Your Movie Once you have gone through all the steps to create your movie, Capture, Storyboard, Effects, Titles, Voice, Music, you will come to the finish step. In the Finish step you will RENDER all of the video clips, music and effects into one video file. A movie clip must be in the Storyboard or Time Line for the "Make Movie" icon to become active. ONLY . AVI that is DV Encoded can be transmitted back to the camcorder. Select the options you want for your movie, Resolution size, and compression method. The default settings for . AVI will save your movie in the DV encoded format. Render time will depend on several variables such as the addition of voice, music, titles and effects. The more changes to the original video clips, the more changes there are to render into the finished movie file. Also, if you are compressing the video and/or changing video resolution, render time may be extended.
