ScenalyzerLive

ScenalyzerLive is a small but powerful program for working with digital DV camcorders connected via FireWire (IEEE 1394). It allows you to capture video from the camera, edit it and save it to a computer in AVI format. Also, the application allows you to control the camcorder from your computer, allowing you to start the basic functions: playback, recording, rewind, stop, pause.

ScenalyzerLive supports both capturing footage recorded by the camera on a videotape and capturing unrecorded video directly from the camera itself, which is connected to the computer in real time. When capturing a picture, different settings are available to the user. For example, you can set the frame rate for time-lapse capture (1 frame per second, minute or hour). In addition, it is possible to split the video into separate scenes by time code (taking into account the moments when the operator stopped and restarted shooting) or by picture content (a noticeable change of the image). In this case, the captured video will be saved to the hard disk not as a single large file, but as several small ones, which is much more convenient for storing and editing video materials. In addition, the program allows you to capture and save image and sound from the camera separately, as well as record video from your computer back to a videotape in the camera.

In addition to the above, ScenalyzerLive has video editing features. In the built-in video editor you can quickly find the right moments on the timeline, cut and join successful fragments into one video clip, remove unnecessary scenes and save interesting still images. ScenalyzerLive was developed by Andreas Winter in Austria. The project has been discontinued because the program was built around the DV format and could not handle the various HD formats. Since November 2010 licences are no longer sold; the program, its manual and a fully functional license key can be downloaded free of charge from the official website for existing users, without support.

ScenalyzerLive significantly simplifies video capture, editing and storage, allowing control over frame rates, scene division, and even separate audio-visual capture.
