I want to make sure that I setup the "capture source" "capture format" "project preferences" "video and audio preferences" right the first time on this computer which I got for the soul purpose of doing VIDEO EDITING.

All assistance would be most welcome, I had it set up on my old computer but that was mostly guest work, this time I want to make sure that i do it right. Otherwise it is a waste of a new computer if I don't, if you get my drift.
