Importing Your Files Directly from Camcorder
Importing media files from your camcorder to your computer is fast and easy. HDCam automatically detects your camcorder and starts the importing process immediately. You can import all media files or selected video clips and photos. Once your media files are imported, you can start organizing, editing, and sharing them.

Managing Media Files
HDCam provides a powerful media management function which helps you organize, view, and search for your videos and photos easily and quickly. Files are organized into libraries that can be rated or tagged for quick location and include a calendar view. Thumbnails allow you to preview the files before you open them.

Editing Your Videos
Trim unwanted parts of your video clips at the beginning, ending, or middle sections of your video.

Merging Video Files and Making Movies
Produce custom movies using multiple video clips by simply dragging and dropping the video clips into the storyboard. Add text, background music, and a title and credits.

Creating DVDs, AVCHDs, and BDMV Discs from Video Files
Save your favorite video files to DVDs, AVCHDs, and BDMV discs as a backup and watch wherever you want.

Encoding – Ultra Extreme Performance
HDCam is now available with support for NVIDIA® CUDA™, so the encoding process is accelerated.
