Like an Antivirus package the software will nip off to the internet and search for its latest patch, v9.1.2, which weighs in at a whopping 47Mb. Having said that, video capture is an area still possessing some mystique for the nervous home user, so tutorials and the near-260-page all-English manual tell you everything you need to know. Thankfully no aspersions can be cast on the documentation, which remains as good as the previous edition. As we tend to say about almost all video capture-related items, a hard disk solely for importing the footage, or a single drive measuring over 100GB, is useful. So even if previous editions put you off the software for life, take a look - just make a cup of tea if you choose to install all the extras after the main program. Much like scanning technology though, once you’ve actually imported the footage you could use any other software you like to process it if you just can’t live with the Studio update to v9.1.2- provided you stick to standards. At least when you pick up that DV cam, if you’ve paid the extra for DV In/Out then this box is ready to support those cameras and so the future proofing, combined with the constant round of fixes and patches, make this an improvement on the past. F.A.Do you own an analogue camcorder? Then toss it in the dustbin if you want to use this kit because it looks for a DV camera primarily and though it purports to support analogue as well, the software is happiest, naturally, with the newer technology.
