You have to import the video files from the capture device (video camera or portable device) before you can edit, this is also known as video capturing. The devices have to be connected to the computer so as to transfer the files; this can be done by use of a firewire video capture card, TV capture card or USB. The capture driver is used to identify the capture device which makes it possible for the software to identify the video source.

The problem could be within the software or hardware. You can do the following diagnosis;

1. Run the original installation package for Ulead VideosStudio again and select repair to repair the files for the already installed software.  
2. Alternatively, you can uninstall the Ulead videoStudio and restart the computer.  Run the installation package to install the software again.
3. Reinstallation or repairing of the software will actually replace the old files with new ones that are functional (including the video capture driver)

If you are capturing a video with your webcam, make sure your camera driver is installed and the camera is working properly. Try to uninstall and reinstall the camera driver. Download the free version of Revo Uninstaller and install. Once installed, start Revo then select your webcam driver among the applications and click “Uninstall.” Follow the normal uninstall process.

When uninstall is complete, click “Scan” to scan your computer for any leftover files and click to delete everything it finds. This removes everything the program created on your computer. When it is finished, exit Revo then install the driver back. If the camera is connected via USB, check that it is connected properly to the USB port.

Try transferring the cable to another USB port. If you are transferring a video from a handheld camera or a camcorder, just copy the video from the memory card of the camera if you have a problem connecting the device to the computer.
