Hi all,
I have a Youtube channel that is quite popular and I've been putting artistic videos on it since 2006. I record my videos with an analog (hi8) PAL camera that comes with a yellow RCA video output. I connect it to my PC via a Conexant chip-based capture card. For software I use VirtualDub with the resolution of 352x288 @ 25 fps, although I might use 704x576 or 720x576 too. I save my video files as AVI on my hard drive. I rescale / render these videos in Sony Vegas to 720 HD resolution so that the viewing experience is correct on Youtube. This might seem like an odd way of doing things, but this meticulous procedure ensures that my videos look original and stand out.
I need to buy a new PC. This means I will no longer be able to use my capture card, as it is a PCI-slot device and has no current drivers. That's why I'm thinking about buying Blackmagic Design's:
DeckLink Mini Recorder
DeckLink Mini Recorder 4K
Intensity Pro 4K
My one big question is: will these products enable me to retain my entire procedure of doing things? And... will it be ok if I just plug my camcorder to a Blackmagic card thru a composite-to-hdmi converter?
Thank you, you are my last resort. Nobody else seems to know how to do this arcane... magic.
