Ok, so me and a irl friend as a summer project of ours we want to make a Halo 3 montage. So as of late in my spare time between revising i've been getting stuff i need.

So far i have:

- Adobe Photoshop CS4 - Expert Knowledge
- Adobe After Effects CS4 - Taking a few tutorials, learning it as i go.
- Sony Vegas Pro 8.0 - Not even tryed out yet

What i need:

- Capture Card

So, basically i was wondering if anyone had any experience in using capture cards, if you could link me to some good ones at a decent enough price i'd be more than greatful.

I also had a few questions:

- My friend has a VERY better TV than mine, so i was wondering if the quality if the capture would come out weird when it played clip after clip at different qualities.

- I have no previous experience with them, are they easy to set up?

- Is there any specific needs from the actual TV?

It doesn't matter, as long as this song is the background music:

It honestly really depends on which kind you get. That all determines the:

- Quality you'll get from it
- Difficulty in setting it up
- Requirements from the TV
Etc.

Mine isn't that great. I can't figure out how to record sound with it, and the video quality isn't horrible, but it's nothing special. I don't even know the name of it, so I can't help you there.

BUT, here's the positives I have for you. My friend made his H2 montage with a Capture Card called the Dazzle 90 (I believe) It had pretty good quality and stuff. And I think it was cheap. Should Google it. tongue.gif
