Packed with a wealth of advanced recording and playback functions plus versatile digital effects. Panasonic’s high quality AG-450 Camcorder offers outstanding features to meet the diverse needs of professional, corporate and institutional applications.

Wide Range of Digital Functions A wealth of amazing digital effects to enhance creative videography
Digital Mix For soft cross fade between a stored still and moving images. It also allows shooting a moving picture with superimposed still image.
Digital Wipe A great way to insert titles captured and stored as still images anywhere during shooting. A smooth transition from moving to still image or vice versa occurs laterally like a curtain opening.
Digital Tracer This after-image adds an interesting effect and emphasizes fast movements in sports and other action-packed scenes.
Digital Still This convenient function allows freezing a scene for any duration – without interrupting sound recording.
Digital Strobe Another fascinating way to enhance action scenes. Digital Strobe records images continuously at 0.2 second intervals giving movement a surrealistic effect.

Your computer would need to have an analogue capture card, as you are using an S-VHS camera you would probably want one with an S-Video input.
Devices such as those by Dazzle are pretty simple and user friendly, though if you can get something like a canopus AV-DV unit this would be even better. Some miniDV camcorders have an AV-DV function.
You would need a analog converter.
