About the software
This chapter assumes that you are familiar with using the
Mac Os and working with applications. If you are unfamiliar
with normal Mac OS basics, you
should refer to the user manual/CD
that came with your system.
This release uses a separate software
installer for each primary area of
functionality:
• VideoShop – the base applica-
tion for digitizing and creating movies
• InterView – provides the drivers and functionality for
the video in via Strata VideoShop
• Optional installers – for FTP client 3.0 shareware,
QuickTime 4.0, Mac OS 8.6 link, XLR8 PowerPack,
XLR8 software updates, and Acrobat
• Additional CD’s – include Strata's TuneBuilder
software with clips and samples
Configuring your software
InterView can capture near real-time 320x240 NTSC frames
or full 640x240 non-interlaced snapshots.
Using InterView’s VideoShop digitizing function, you can
capture your own clips live from a VCR or from a digital
tuner. When you have finished creating a movie, you can save
it as a QuickTime movie to be distributed via Web, email, CD
or any form of computer compatible electronic duplication
you prefer.
