Lacking of video material is a haunted problem for DV beginners. Almost all the non-linear video editing software accept DV footages. But the footages you shoot are not always enough to make a decent short film. In fact, more often they are far less than enough. How to enrich editing material? Turning the video collections into editing resources seems to be a nice idea, but how to make the editing software recognize video clips?
