HELLO DEAR 

HOW I CAN USE HDMI INPUT FOR EDITING AND CAPTURE?

Hi @HASTV75,

Welcome to the HP Support Community! 

Thanks for reaching out about your query regarding using HDMI for editing and capturing!

We're thrilled to have the opportunity to assist you and provide a solution.

Try these steps:

The Victus by HP 15.6 inch Gaming Laptop is equipped with an HDMI port, but this port is typically an output, meaning it is used to send video and audio signals from the laptop to an external display, such as a monitor or TV. HDMI input functionality is generally not available on laptops because they are designed to output data rather than receive it via HDMI.

Alternatives for Editing and Capture Using HDMI

External Capture Cards:

• To capture video from an external device via HDMI, you can use an external video capture card or device. These devices connect via USB to your laptop and have HDMI input ports for video capture.
• Popular brands for capture cards include Elgato and AVerMedia, which offer options to capture video for editing.

Screen Recording Software:

• If you need to capture what's happening on your screen for editing purposes, you can use screen recording software like OBS Studio, Bandicam, or Camtasia. These tools allow you to record your screen activities and edit them.

Video Editing Software:

• Utilize video editing software to import and edit videos that you have captured using an external device. Adobe Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, and Windows Movie Maker are popular options.

Setting Up an External Capture Device

1. Connect your capture card to your laptop via USB.
2. Connect your external video source to the capture card using an HDMI cable.
3. Install and open the capture software provided by the capture card manufacturer.
4. Follow the instructions to start capturing video to your laptop for editing.

These solutions are commonly used for capturing video from gaming consoles, cameras, or other external devices for editing purposes, as laptop HDMI ports do not support direct HDMI input functionality.

I hope this helps.
