I use Pinnacle for video editing. I can grab a frame and then open it in Photoshop to crop, brighten, etc. However, the photos are never crisp or clear, but grainy and blurry. I use a Hi8 Sony camcorder, and am now looking at upgrading my video cam .....wondering if this is the problem or is it my editing technique or my photoshop abilities??? I have used photoshop with my digital still cam and those correct just fine. I am trying to streamline...if I can capture and correct right from the video cam.....I can elimintate the need for a still camera!! Can anyone help me with videocam suggestions and help on how to capture a video frame, then correct it in photoship for optimum results? THANK YOU!!!
