CURRICULUM GUIDE

I tested the Canopus DVStorm2 that came installed on my Alienware

DV workstation. I’ll use it to introduce you to the kind of capabilities

you can expect from a full-featured capture card.

Figure 5.2: The Canopus DVStorm2 features smooth multi-track video

playback and dozens of special effects and transitions.

The DVStorm2 has both a hardware card and a faceplate for the front

of your PC. That faceplate has in/out connectors for DV (digital video)

and analog video (consumer-ish composite and higher-quality S-

video). The hardware card has an MPEG encoder, letting you convert

incoming DV and analog video to MPEG on the fly. That card also has

video processors that relieve your PC’s CPU of some work and allow

for smoother multi-track video and special effect real-time playback within Adobe Premiere Pro.

DVStorm2’s video capture software helps busy production houses or newsrooms. With it you can capture up to

three separate DV streams concurrently (you’ll need two additional DV ports—so-called IEEE 1394 or FireWire).

Where DVStorm2 really shines is with its package of video and audio special effects and transitions. These

include some eye-popping, exciting 2D and 3D visual effects as well as some innovative transitions and audio

sweetening tools. Adding the DVStorm2 suite of effects nearly doubles the number shipped with Adobe

Premiere Pro.

Here’s a quick rundown:

• 2D effects. Take a look at Figure 5.3. Those three 2D effects are representative of what DVStorm2 has to

offer. You can instantly change a scene into a pencil sketch, blur the action, or give your video the look

of an old film.
