I'm wondering if anyone has any general knowledge regarding VIDEO DIRECTOR software. I'm looking to create 5 second video clips to play as Q/T movies on the mac and am curious about the ways I might accomplish this task. I am a locations manager with a national TV series and would like to be able to catalog my locations onto disk.

David, If this is the Video Director from Gold Disk, I believe that it would be limited to creating a "database" or "log" of video clips, however it would not digitally record them onto a harddrive in a digital format suitable for multi-media type applications. For that you would need a Video Capture Card and it is quite possible that one exists that would have decent "database" and/or "logging" functions allowing for search/sort and other random recall. -John

Isn't Video Director a Windows program? There are a number of Mac based (assuming Mac because of the message area) editing program. Adobe Premiere is rather good, cheap and popular. How do you plan on getting the clips in the mac? A video capture board or an A/V Mac?
