I'm getting ready to work on a set of tutorials for Premiere Elements 2024.

Yes. Although virtually all miniDV camcorder footage is DV-AVI. Only a few really old still cameras shot video in an AVI format that used non-DV codecs. So I'm sure most if not all of your old footage is DV-AVI.

Happy Christmas, all!

More great work, Cheryl!

My current camcorder is a Canon Vixia HF G50. A very nice prosumer cam that produces excellent video. I also use a GoPro of course for the underwater shots.

Likewise, Sidd.
