Hi!

Back in 2005 I loved using Serious Magic’s DV Rack.
It was just like working in the studio I managed on a PC. Is there any similar software for win 10
Adobe acquired Serious Magic changed it to on location which was not even close the went to prelude which eliminated any live capture.
Since they killed Prelude.
Is there any similar software for win 10
Thanks!

Serious Magic’s DV Rack video recording software made quite a splash when it first hit the market a few years back. Designed to turn any DV-friendly PC laptop into a powerful digital monitoring and recording workstation, the first version of DV Rack included a high-quality waveform monitor, a vectorscope, an audio spectrum analyzer, and a number of other powerful digital video monitoring tools in a single software package. In other words, Serious Magic attempted to put a good portion of a full-featured video production van’s mobile shooting gear onto a laptop computer, and succeeded admirably.

DV Rack, a video recording software product clearly aimed at the professional shooter who wants complete recording control in a portable package, has earned a place in the must-have category of serious digital video shooting tools. Now, with version 2.0, DV Rack offers motion-activated recording, stop-motion animation control, time-lapse recording, Avid Quicktime support, and 16:9 monitoring, as well as a number of other improvements. To put it through its paces, we installed DV Rack 2.0 onto a Toshiba Satellite A105 laptop, running Windows XP, plugged in a Canon Optura 50 camcorder, and did some shooting.

Rack-style Interface

In order for users to make the most of any video recording software, familiarity is important. The DV Rack interface is built to resemble a real-world rack of digital video capture tools, right down to the rivets, knobs, LED readouts, and carrying handles. The user can stack these tools in any order, and use only the tools necessary at the moment; others can be easily hidden with a click of the Power button. While this makes the interface easy to learn if you’ve used these devices before, it can be a little difficult for those who haven’t. (The good news is that DV Rack can serve to teach students and apprentice videographers how to use these important pieces of gear before they ever lay hands on their real-world equivalents-potentially a budget-saver for cash-strapped schools.)

When Using this video recording software to shoot directly onto a laptop with DV Rack, you simply connect your camcorder via FireWire and put your camera in shooting mode. Then you can record video and audio clips onto the laptop, controlling them with the transport controls on the DVR (Digital Video Recorder) component. As new clips are recorded, they appear in a Clip List within the DVR interface, complete with detailed clip information and an audio waveform (useful for identifying clip starting points and specific soundbites).
