Online Video Editing Hardware
stashSpace is
where your digital life comes together, allowing you to
capture, edit, upload and share video and pictures
online. Below you'll find a easy to follow guide to the
many electronic devices and analog media that is
supported by stashSpace. Remember that none of these items
are mandatory, but most of them will make your
experience much richer.
Video
Requirements
A Digital Video Camera with a Firewire
connection will allow you to upload video
directly into your account, so you can then share video
online with your family and friends. There are many
excellent cameras in the market that vary in price and
quality.
With stashSpace any DV, HD or HDV digital
camera will work fine. Firewire cables are also needed, some cameras come
with one, or you may have to buy it separately. We have
a picture of the most common Firewire cable connector
for Digital Camcorders. You'll notice that the ends are
different, one being wider (6 pins, connecting to your
PC), and the other slim and small (4 pins to the camera)
  Look
for the Firewire Logo, which will be displayed in all
compatible cables. Now some computers come with a port
where you can plug in these cables, some don't. Most
electronics stores will carry PCI Cards that you,
or them, can install into your PC to allow you to
connect your camera. Make sure that the cards are also Firewire compatible, since there are a myriad of PCI
cards with other uses.
 If
you don't have time to upload all your video, we offer a
convenient
Video Transfer Service
,
where you mail us your Digital or Analog tapes,
and we transfer them to digital and load them into your
StashBox Account.
Old
8mm film, Super 8mm film
and 16mm film
reels can also be digitally re-mastered and transferred to digital so you can
share them again with your relatives or friends. We
recommend you mail your tapes well padded, and with a
carrier that offers a tracking system. You should expect
your video to be uploaded within 5 days of receipt at
our warehouse. Please allow 3 to 5 weeks for your film
transfer order.
Photography Requirements
Digital Photo cameras vary in style and prices,
but all will allow you to
 download
your pictures to your computer. StashBox can import
and upload your pictures directly from your camera to add to your
SnapShots DVD. Most cameras connect via a USB cable, and
practically all computers come equipped with a USB
Port. Some digital cameras will even allow you to
record short movies, including sound. To import these
movies to your account you'll have to first save them into
your computer, and the use the Import Video File
feature in
stashBox.
You can also import directly from your digital camera
memory card using a digital card reader.
