I know dumb question

[New_Zealand]

I know dumb question - since I have set up Vegas I have only used it for editing HD footage from my HVX200. I have my extra Laptop (Sony) with Vegas pro 8.0 up for sale and a guy contacted me (he lives local) and wanted to get it for editing footage from his tape camera.

I'm really not sure how that works? I know with imovie I just open up the file and hook up the tape camera to the computer and it starts downloading. I did shoot some footage on tape with my HVX200 and hook it up to the laptop opened up Vegas but nothing happened. Not sure if it goes into a different file and how it works - The guy is going to stop by my house end of next week and wanted to see how it works so I don't want to look pretty lost.


SORRY for the dumb questions

In your project media window, there's an icon for capturing. Once the camera is connected via firewire, click the capture button and it brings up the capture utility.
