How to transfer the content of the video to Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 for editing ?

Hi there,
I have an old video camera that is still working. That video camera uses a Hi 8 tape. The tape is bigger that the current DV tape. The size of the tape is something like a tape cassette.
How to transfer the content of the video to Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 for editing ? Being an old video camera, the output doesn't have any firewire or USB connector. In fact the only output is has is the Yellow, Red & while connector (is this referred to as composite).
So, how do I input this Yellow, Red & White cable into the PC (or rather into Adobe Pro CS3) ?
Any established hardware/convertor to recommend ?
Thanks

Ryan,
For "composite out," only you will need an A-D "bridge" to Capture from that camera. Grass Valley/Canopus offers two really good ones, the ADVC-110 and the ADVC-300. There are others and also PCI A-D capture cards, but the Canopus units get very good reviews.
One other workflow would be to hook your older camera to a digital video camera with passthrough (not all have this and it is being discontinued fairly rapidly in consumer cameras) and then doing the Capture through that digital video camera via FireWire. You will not have Device Control, but can easily start/stop via the mouse and one hand on the switches, or on a remote.
Good luck,
Hunt

Export video from Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 for online upload?

I need to upload a video I made in premiere but it shouldn't be bigger than 100MB for fast upload and still retain most of the quality. What format and codec should I choose? I tried divx and xvid but they ended up extremely jerky and awful.
The video is 720p and 55sec.

In both cases, the best thing to do would be to get the required/suggested specs. from each of those. In the case of YouTube, their specs seem to change often. Right now (last time I looked), it seems that most people are going with the H.264 CODEC for YouTube, and seem pleased.
I have no clue as to FaceBook, but maybe someone else will know it. Still, they should have a FAQ someplace with their requirements/specifications. They may be the exact same as YouTube, or totally different, in which case you would be better off doing two Exports - one for each use.
Good luck,

Color on exported video on Adobe Premiere Pro Is a bit off from the original source video

I have both Cyberlink powerdirector 10.0 and Adobe Premiere Pro C6
I noticed that adobe premere cs6. when exporting the video.. colors are a little off.. never matching the same tones as the original
source
i took a screenshot so you can see what i mean.. Notice Adobe is a a little mor orange. is there a way to fix this? Cyberlink powedirector always matches the source color when you export it. except Adobe Premiere Pro CS 6
i have windows 7 64 bit (Nvidia GeForce GTX 670M

Thanks for answering. I ddi notice different media players show colors different. But on the screenshot i just showed you.. all 3 are from the same media player.
For some reason everytime i export a video from Adobe premiere pro the color is never the same as the source on media player. I tried it on 4 different videos. Other software programs like cyberlink power director export the video with no color change.
1)The original source from the picture is a mpeg-4 (avc)
2)i always use wmv codec to encode all videos. So the shot from Premiere Pro was using WMV codec. and the other shot (cyberlink powerdirector) was also wmv to encde.
3) I even tried to see if maybe i used a different video format to encode it would fix the slight color change. like h264 and mov.. but nope still same issue
4) I did what you told me to show the source and exported video on Adobe Premiere and really weird. the exporterd video from Adobe Premiere now shows the exact color as the source.. but the exported video from Cyberlinkpowerdirector shows the color a bit different.
Heres the media codec information

Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 is exporting in the wrong size

I want to export my clip I've made in Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 while choosing the option "HDV 720p24" (I've also tried 25, 30 and a few others).
It says in Video Settings before I even start to work on my clip:
"Frame Size: 1280h 720v"
Which is EXACTLY what I want.
However, whenever I choose to export my clip, it ends up being 720 x 480. That's not even 16:9/Widescreen.
I've tried entering the settings when choosing the export options, but the preset 720 x 480 can't be change.
Why is this? Is it impossible to expert a clip to be in 1280 x 720 or any other custom pixelsize I want?
Best regards, Izzy.

Hi everyone,
I apologize for digging up an old thread, but I figured that I'm experiencing this exact problem and have no idea how to work around it I might as well post in an already started topic.
I'm trying to export 1280 x 720 video to that same resolution, but Premiere Pro will not let me choose anything other than 720 x 480 for the size when I try to export through File > Export > Media. I have attempted to use multiple media formats but have had no results for what I need. If it really help, I've posted a couple of screenshots showing my current project settings, but this is just one of a few different formatting attempts which have all turned out the same:

Hopefully those will be enough to give you a detailed view of exactly what the problem is.
Any help with how to work around this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks to all.

Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 "The editing mode used by this project could not be loaded."

Hello-
I am encountering an issue with my Adobe Premier Pro CS3. I am trying to open up a project that another person has created on a different editing system. When I try to open, it comes up with the error "The editing mode used by this project could not be loaded. The project will be opened in Desktop mode." The next window is a Windows Explorer screen, that wants me to choose a file to open. If I cancel that, it brings up a blank looking project with no timeline or anything?
A quick comparison of systems:
Mine:
HP dc7700s desktop
Windows XP OS
Adobe Master Collection CS3
Hers:
IBM compatible laptop
Microsoft Vista
Adobe Premiere Pro CS3
Adobe Photoshop CS3
I have googled the error message, but have not found anything to fix this. I have also verified from Help - About that we have the exact same versions of Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 installed.
I need to be able to view this project on either computer. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!!
Thank you!

>project will be opened in Desktop mode
I have never used any non-standard files, but from reading here, desktop mode is used when the video files are not standard... in one way or another, but usually pixel dimensions
What is the codec and properties of the files in that project?
Are you sure they are 100% standard?

Are the texture presets and images available in Adobe Premiere Pro free for commercial use?

Are the texture presets and images available in Adobe Premiere Pro free for commercial use (in this case, an image of a film reel is being used on a book cover)?

What the other users have said is correct. Premiere captures through FireWire or through SDI/HDMI via a 3rd party solution.
For your situation I would say the best bet is to connect you camera to your computer via USB or use a card reader and copy the entire directory to your hard drive and ingest into Premiere via Media Browser.
If you Google 'how to make stop motion in premiere pro' there are tons of great tutorials.

How to download Adobe Premiere pro CS5 for windows to my new imac 27 inch

How to download Adobe Premiere pro CS5 for windows to my new imac 27 inch

IMHO Windows would be the place to start.
Why do you want to load CS5 for Windows?
Adobe does produce a version of CS5 that runs on OS X so that it would not be necessary for you to have to screw around with Windows. Personally that would be the way to go and avoid the hassles of Windows.

Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 - JVC 20GB Hard Drive Video Camera Difficulties

I am currently using Adobe Premiere Pro CS3. I have a JVC 20 gb hard drive video camcorder that I have currently recorded footage on. I need to either find a way to capture that footage somehow or convert the videos from .MOD files to a supported format for Adobe without the blurry pixelated quality of the video and the lack of sound on certain formats. If anyone can steer me in the right direction, your help would be appreciated! Thanks!

Thanks.

Not sure what you are asking. A download is a download. what you do with the file afterwards is entirely up to you. If you mean to install Mac software on Win, then no, this can't be done. Furthermore you also would have to have a proper Win serial.

I couldn´t see imported videos with Adobe Premiere pro

Hello:
My name is Oren. I´m from Spain, and this is my problem.
One month ago I bought a Toshiba Satellite 850-31M. It has an x64 processor, 16 GB of RAM and I have 2 hard drives, the c: an SSD of 500 GB and other of 1 Tb hardisk, configured as D:. It has a GeForce GT 630M graphics card with 2 GB of RAM. W8 operating system.
I wanted to try the Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 and I downloaded the trial version. No problem, until I tried to import a video in the source window. Appears a small window that says "importing" and give to play in the source window and start .Audio be heard, but not the image. I've tried different video formats and always the same. The same video are seamlessly Quick Time and other video viewers ..... I do not know what to do, I think I've tried everything, even restart the computer to its factory settings and install Adobe Premiere vacuum and the problem remains. I tested with a trial of Premiere CS5.5 and got it. You hear the audio but no video . Insert the video in the timeline and recognizes it as such, even the first frame, but said, is not seeing in the "source", nor in the preview, only the audio.
What could it be? Am I you could lend a hand I'm desperate?
thank you very much

Hello:
I have the vídeos in a hard-disk. I'd tried in different video formats and
always the same. I hear the audio but I couldn't see the video image.

How do you export 4 discrete mono audio tracks with video from Adobe Premiere Pro 4/Adobe Encoder?

I've posted this question in different terms a few times and have not had an answer. I can't find the answer on the Premiere Pro support site either (which makes me think that a simple solution doesn't exist)
We use adobe premiere pro 4. We capture DVCAM tapes with 4 discrete audio channels. When we export the video using adobe encoder, the result is stereo tracks with the discrete audio channels mixed together which is completly useless to us. When I select Mono for the output settings, two channels of audio are mixed into one audio channel. Also useless.
When capturing the clip, we always use the mono timeline and modify the clips to mono. We can edit the discrete audio channels but when we export the video, the audio is mixed down.
this is the problem. Each of our 4 audio channels contain a different language of dialogue. When exported, these 4 get mixed down to 2 mixed channels blending of course the language.
Can Premiere Pro 4 export discrete mono audio channels? How do you do it?
Does version 6 have the ability to export 4 discrete mono channels?

Hi Steve,
Important info is missing from your post - what format are you wanting to export to, and for what purpose? We need to know how the exported file is intended to be used. Who's going to view it, using what gear? Is it for another editor to work with? End user viewing?
Thanks

How to remove red eye from you video with adobe premiere elements?

I would be greatful if someone could let me know how to remove red eye from a video, which I will be using for my acting reel. Thank you!

What version of Premiere Elements do you have and on what computer operating system is it running?
Do you have an integrated set of Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements (such as 10/10, 11/11)?
How long is this person with the red eye viewed?
There are two possibilities that I can think of, but I would have to work it through with the actual footage and adapt accordingly.
1. Keying and color correction.
2. In Premiere Elements, do a freeze frame (in Freeze Frame dialog, Edit in Photoshop Elements after Insertion + Insert in Movie Option + adjustment of duration of the Freeze Frame bmp).
In Photoshop Elements, Red Eye Tool if possible or other color correction tool there.
How did you ever get red eye in video?

Horizontal lines across video in Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0

I had used a software called Virtualdub to deinterlace and remove lots of garbage from the edges of a video. I had also used a software called Neat Video inside of Virtualdub to remove a lot of grains from my vhs video. I prefer to use Adobe Premiere because it's superior to Virtualdub when it comes to color correction. That is my own opinion, however, I imported the video from Virtualdub into Adobe Premiere. I did some color corrections on my vhs video. The video looks a whole better than the original. I saved the video with the color correction and exported it as an avi file. I exported the same video into Pinnacle to burn on a dvd. I noticed that the video had a lot of fine horizontal lines going across it. I would like to know what am I doing wrong with all of these procedures. I'm a beginner trying to learn how to use Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0. for video editing. I would like to use this software totally to edit my video instead of using Pinnacle software. I hope that my problem isn't too complicated. Thanks.

You can do everything in Premiere: you do not need VD or Pinnacle.
First of all I would not deinterlace nor get rid of the edge gargage of the original footage in VD.
Depending on how the deinterlacing is being done, it still will bring down the quality off the footage.
If its for dvd on a standalone player just leave it interlaced.
Edge garbage is easily removed in Pro2 by scaling up the footage a tiny bit.
I would only use Neat Video in VD and export the footage to avi with the Lagarith codec which will give you a lossless file.

Or skip VD and get Neat Video as a plugin for Premiere
In Premiere you can create dvd's and besides it has a much better mpeg2 encoder then Studio has.

Importing video files into Adobe Premiere Pro CS3

I own a Sony Handycam DCR-SX63. When I import the movies I have taken onto my PC (Vista) they are .MPG files. When I import these files into Premiere Pro CS3 the video portion imports but the audio of that file does not. I have read all I can find and nothing seems to answer my question directly. I tried an encoder to see if maybe Premiere doesn't accept .MPG files. I converted it to .AVI file and tried to import and that gave me audio with no video. I tried opening the new project with a dozen different settings offered up by Premiere but every one I tried gave me the same outcome when I tried to import my video file.
Please. please. please help. I am pulling my hair out.
I appreciate any help given.
Thanks

First... To work with AC3 sound files in Premiere CS3, copy the ad2ac3dec.dll file from the Encore CS3 directory into the Premiere directory
