I have the adobe subscription for photoshop but I do not have premier. I am looking for a way to convert from VHS to digital. I have the RGB -> USB convertor. Can I use any of the adobe software to read from the VCR via the USB convertor ? 

I know abobe lightroom allows some video editing but I had never used it 

 

Thanks

I do not know of any program to capture video using a USB connection... only Firewire

 

I use a Grass Valley ADVC 110 external digital converter... which I don't think is sold now, but you may find one on ebay

just be aware that if I understand correctly, apple has disabled the ability to capture video thru firewire in the last couple of OS's.    If you're on a pc, it's not a problem.  On a mac, be sure and check compatibility with your hardware and OS before spending any money.

never heard of an rbg to usb converter.    

If you're on a pc, here are some options

Maybe some of these are mac compatible.  

If you want something on a more professional level and your machine has usb3, I'd go with the blackmagic intensity shuttle...
