Input

Video capture software allows you to capture video clips from a video camera or a videocassette recorder. The software will allow you to alter the movie size, frame rate and colour depth.

Manipulation

Video editing software allows you to cut and paste video clips together, merge audio clips into the video and insert special effects like fades, wipes etc. In Adobe Premiere, five different video clips can be merged with special effects and a musical audio track.

Output

Video output software allows you to output the edited video clip to either the monitor or if you have a video output card, to a television or video cassette recorder. High quality video editing programs like Adobe Premiere or Avid Videoshop, will carry out all three of these input, manipulation and output functions.
