I am by no means a skilled professional, but so far I am finding it somewhat cumbersome to work with the VV3 capture program. I had looked at the Scenalyzer product a few months back, and was less than impressed with the "feature" that allowed one to capture an entire miniDV tape in about 5 minutes. Problem was that the captured quality of image and audio was so poor that it was difficult (for me, at least) to form any impressions about the artistic value of a particular clip.
Now, however, I am becoming very fond of this inexpensive Scenalyzer program for its ability to capture and effectively display clips when used in full-resolution mode. A single clip is represented by a beginning video frame, an ending frame, and three frames inbetween. The clips are named based on their date and time of capture. The clips are organized using conventional Windows folders, and clip sorting works well. The part I enjoy the best, however, is that if I load VV3 and Scenalyzer together, I can literally "drag" each scene from Scenalyzer to the VV3 timeline.
I know every person has his or her own particular method of assembling a video product, but so far the marriage of VV3 and Scenalyzer seems particularly promising.
