Hi everybody apologies if this question has been asked before - however I did do a search and cant find the exact answer Im after.
Ok, so Im 99% certain Ill be buying an XH-A1 at the start of Febuary, the moneys there and Im just doing final bits of research into my PC workflow and I have a question.
Ill be editing with Premiere CS3 - and I need to know will I be ok using a normal Firewire capture card to capture HD footage (not sure whether it'll be 24F, 30F or 60i yet). Im buying a new PC (quad core, 4G ram etc) with a blu-ray burner so hopefully the whole workflow will be HD from start to finish. Ive read some stuff about the Black Magic intensity card but Im still none the wiser. Please can someone clarify this for me.
Any help will be greatly appreciated :)
