Thread: Visual aid..help

For a video I'm making I would like to put footage of video from a Winamp visual clip. You know how Winamp has those bars that move to the beat. Is there anyway I can get that for the song i'm using then put it in adobe?

Not really a Premiere question so moved to General.

but to answer the question. take a look at http://www.videoeditingforums.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=646 which is a similar -ish question.

go to somewhere like www.snapfiles.com and there you can download screen capture programs which can capture parts of the screen

It's pretty hard to do reliably and at speed. With an old Riva TNT2 video card I could grab from the screen a window 640x480 at 30fps and 32 bit colour with CamStudio 1.2, but since I got a 'better' ATI Radeon 9000 Pro I can just barely manage 15fps of 180x120 with 16 bit colour. Sure, my frame rate on Quake 3 Arena went way up, but I lost fast screen grabbing. It's got to be the ATI drivers doing the dirty work, but there's no alternative. I think I'll dig out the old parts and put together a slower machine that can grab screen video fast. This may be one of those times older is better.

if you have a way of capturing (2nd pc or a dv camera with analogue inputs) and tv-out on the pc you're wanting to capture from, that'd probably give best results.
