DV.now
FireWire/DV capture card w/ Adobe Premiere 6.0 & FAST.forward for clip management

DV.now is a PCI card for the PC that was primarily developed to make light work of the most time consuming part of the video editing process - selecting and recording clips to hard disk, trimming clips to the required length and arranging them on a storyboard. But that doesn't mean DV.now can only be used for storyboarding, the high quality digital video input and output means it can also be used as a hardware basis for regular digital video editing.

The supplied Capture Assistant software helps you transfer your digital video to hard disk in native digital video format and without generation loss. Batch video capturing is possible with this software, as well as a single frame capture for producing high quality graphics. Rough edits can be made directly in the Capture Assistant software via a simple drag and drop interface, and of course previews on your PC screen are instantaneous!

If you are new to video editing or video capture, then the FAST Wizard will guide you through the software in a few easy steps. And for those who want to perfect their video, Adobe Premiere is included in the Package to add that final, professional editing touches.
