Cinema Avid Cinema is a Macintosh only video digitizing card with special software that is designed for those with no prior editing experience. The custom software that comes with the card includes templates that are intended to guide you through creating your movie. While the software will let you save your clips as QuickTime clips, you cannot use another QuickTime editor (such as Adobe Premiere) with the Cinema board. The board captures 30-frames-per-second (fps) Motion JPEG compression / decompression at 320 by 240 pixels. Vertical and horizontal interpolation and filtering are used to output to television at 640 by 480 pixels.NTSC or PAL output in composite or S-video format is provided.
