Using mini DV tape footage in Premiere Pro

Normally I shoot video as 720p 30fps and edit in Premiere Pro CC. In my present project I have some mini DV tape footage from a friend I'd like to incorporate, It was shot on his Panasonic PV-GS300 in the wide-screen (16:9) mode, and we'll be using that camera as a playback device. I do not have a firewire input on the computer, but the camera has a USB connector that I can probably use to capture.
I have not worked with DV in years (back in the old Premiere 6 days), and I am wondering what the best work flow is? Will Premiere Pro CC even capture DV anymore? I also need to mix the footage with 720p footage and am wondering how best to do that.
Any suggestions will be most appreciated. Thanks!

PPro will only work with a Firewire port, not USB
From what I have read, any digitizing device that connects to a USB port will have to use the software that came with the device to capture the video... AND the files produced that way are often not compatible with PPro
Something like a http://www.grassvalley.com/products/converters works great... if you have a Firewire port

Which codec should I use to edit HD footage in Premiere Pro?

I am shooting with a Sony NXCAM which gives me AVCHD .MTS files. I am an old FCP user switching to Premiere Pro. I used to transcode the footage to Apple Pro Res 422 and most of my stock footage is now in this codec. I know Premiere Pro accepts all codecs but I need to offline my footage using the Project Manager. Can you tell me which is the best codec in Premiere pro to edit and transcode footage to now? The only one I can see that kind of matches is AVC INTRA - I 100.
Thanks for any suggestions,
Adam

Edit in the codec you shot in ( source file) is good practice
Drag a clip onto the NEW ITEM ICON (bottom of Project Window) and PPRO will match up a sequence.
Good starting point.

Importing DVC PRO 50 footage into Premiere Pro

I recently imported some DVC PRO 50 footage into Premiere Pro. I used a rented DVC PRO 50 deck via firewire 400. The footage came in at 480 x 720. Is this the actual resolution of that format or is it the default setting in the Premiere Pro import module? A few months ago, I imported some HD footage from a tape format using the videographer's camera via Firewire. It also came in at 720 even though it was supposed to be 1080 footage. Is there a way to set a target resolution in the PP import module before importing? Or does it bring in whatever resolution the source has?

DVCPRO50 is standard definition footage at 50Mbps. So 720x480 is correct.

Canon 300 footage crashing Premiere PRO 6 on Mac PRO

As stated above... C300 footage crashes Premiere Pro when using on my Mac Pro. It happens when you scrub through the footage. I have done plenty of searches and everyone with a Mac Pro seems to be having the same problem. The footage also has glitches in the frames when it plays and renders. The only solution I have found is to transcode the footage to something else, which kind of defeats the purpose of using Premiere Pro 6 in the first place. I know this is a problem specific to the Mac Pro because my Macbook Pro does not have this issue when dealing with C300 footage. Does anyone know of any actual solution to this other than transcoding all the footage?

Hello,
Because you've said you already "re-downloading":
1. Maybe you have to activate/deactivate, so please have a look there:

2, Sometimes, we know in the meantime, the "opm.db file" is the culprit. In this case you should delete it.
3. Did you already try "uninstalling and re-installing"?
Be careful with (de)installing aso. by (de)installing by your own resources. As much as I regret it and as strange as it may seem I fear it's a challenge for Adobe's Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool.
Sometimes - for whatever reasons - CC doesn't "want" to work. In this case you should CC completely delete and reinstall by help of Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool. (A try to uninstall by own resources is not enough!)
I quote: Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool helps resolve installation problems for Adobe Creative Cloud and Adobe Creative Suite (CS3-CS6) applications. The tool removes installation records for prerelease installations of Creative Cloud or Creative Suite applications. It does not affect existing installations of previous versions of Creative Cloud or Creative Suite applications.

How Do you import C100 footage into Premiere Pro CC

I just tried importing Canon C100 footage into Premiere Pro CC, but get no sound. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong and I pray I don't have to convert this footage before bringing it in. Is there a workflow anyone can recommend? Do I have to convert the footage first? Thanks, Lucian

Lucian,
PrPro should work natively with the Canon C100 footage ... it works with almost everything out there. And with the C100 shooting MP-4, AVCHD, & H.264, those are all handled easily by PrPro.
My question ... I would surmise (from what little info you include) you are shooting AVCHD? The reason I say this is that format splits audio & video into different files ... so it's a bit trickier to "import" than others that have the a & v in one file. Make sure you copied the whole top-leveL FOLDER and all sub-folders (not just the footage or contents of a folder) from the cam/card into the computer for AVCHD ... and then when you import into a project via the media browser your audio & video should be all connected by PrPro.
There have been numerous threads here where AVCHD users have "lost" their audio, only to find they'd simply left it behind by NOT copying all the folders & subfolders their camera had created.

Use of a capture board in Premiere Pro CS4

For several years I have been using Premiere Pro 1.5 with a Canopus Storm 2 capture card and drivers. It has been working fine for me. Actually I have been doing event video for about twenty years and have gone through a lot of Premiere progams. I went from VHS to S-VHS and then into Mini DV. I don't think I will be going to HD. However, like life, we need to keep up with some of the changes. So I have been considering upgrading to Premiere Pro CS4. I was told that Canopus is no longer working with Adobe and that now it is Grass Valley and they have their own editing software. They no longer want to let the user of their products use Adobe products. If this is so, then what type of capture card is working with Premiere Pro CS4? And what is the cost for my changing my system? At least a ball park figure. I just had a new OS put into my video editing computer and right now everything is screwed up. The Adobe Premiere Pro and Canopus seem to be working okay, but I am not getting anything out from my computer to my editing monitor and sound mixer. I worked all week on it and to no avail. For years I did event video and put out some fantastic stuff, now I just want to do some informational videos and nothing is working right. I am open for suggestions.

Okay Harm, that is part of the problem. Since I put in a new OS I can't get my video editing to do right. Nothing is showing up on my studio monitor that is hooked to the Storm 2 card and nothing is coming in to my Mackie 1402 VLZ Pro line mixer that is connected to a CREATIVE Sound Blaster Live card. I have done everything I can think of and nothing is coming out. I have everything hooked up just like it has been for the past five or six years. I downloaded all of my software - Previere Pro first and then Canopus and then Sound Blaster and the plug-ins seem to go in okay. What I am getting is a sound apperance on the Premiere sound screen and also a wave form on the timeline. In all apperance the Storm card and the Premiere are working, but nothing seems to be coming out. Also I am getting no sound out when I download music in Audition. I did before I replaced my Windows XP SP3 OS.
I didn't know that the Canopus Storm 2 had a conflict with PP 1.5. I guess I never experienced any trounble before.
I just now went into my Adobe Premiere Pro 1.5 and opened up a capture that I had downloaded into the timeline. Here is what happens. When I scrub the Capture monitor in PP everything works fine in the computer and the studio monitor and sound line mixer. But when I scrub the timeline I get no sound out, and nothing shows up on my studio monitor. It is almost like everything is reverse.

Flicker footage in Premiere Pro CC 2014.2. Tested on different computers. When waiting for fixes this bug?

Flicker appears solely the fault of Premiere Pro CC 2014.2. Tested on different computers. Used as nVidia Quadro and GeForce GTX770. Drivers were different. Everywhere equally evident flicker. Incidentally, it defies logic and may occur at different film pieces. If re-render that flicker may occur on another spot in the video.
It can occur even in the parts without filters !!! But no all time.

Hi Aleksey,
Flicker appears solely the fault of Premiere Pro CC 2014.2. Tested on different computers. Used as nVidia Quadro and GeForce GTX770. Drivers were different.
Have you tried with the Mercury Playback Engine set to "Software Only?" More info please: FAQ: What information should I provide when asking a question on this forum?
Everywhere equally evident flicker. Incidentally, it defies logic and may occur at different film pieces. If re-render that flicker may occur on another spot in the video.
Is this a brand new project or one you updated from an earlier version? What kind of footage are you exporting? Which preset are you using?
When waiting for fixes this bug?
If I can repeat the case here with the same hardware, GPU, and drivers, that would be easier to fix the bug. Currently, I cannot recreate the bug. If you or anyone else can provide me with steps to recreate the bug, that would help immensely. It sounds like this will be the difficult thing.

I cannot figure out how to edit my h.264 footage in Premiere Pro. Please help.

I have been trying to import AVI video into Premiere pro CS5. I have a new Dell Laptop with Windows 7. Every time I try to import the video into Premiere it only shows up as audio files. However, Windows Media Player plays the files just fine. I've tryed converting the files with Media Encoder but that sees the files as only audio files as well. I've used the G Spot program and it tells me that the Codec is the H264 codec and that the name is H.264/MPEG-4 AVC. It also tells me that the codec is already installed on my computer.
I've had problems trying to edit h.264 stuff for longer than I'd care to admit and I just want to figure it out once and for all. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Read the 2nd post for NEW ITEM pointer http://forums.adobe.com/thread/770072?tstart=0 and follow the instructions, to let PPro analyze the file for you
This is not going to help in the OP's circumstance; if the video doesn't play in Premiere, it's not going to magically start playing once dropped on the New Item button. That sets up a sequence with parameters that match the footage (is that what you mean by letting "PPro analyze the file?"), but Premiere is pretty black-or-white when it comes to format/codec support--it plays everywhere or it doesn't play at all.
If that were not true, DV footage would have to be edited only in a DV sequence, and AVCHD only in an AVCHD sequence. Of couse, that's not the case--sequences are format-agnostic.

Canon 7D grainy footage in Premiere Pro CS6

Hi there,
I recently updated to CS6, I have some footage filmed on Canon 7D in full HD. I import into Premiere Pro 720p sequence and the untreated footage looks extremely grainy at full resolution playback. The same footage looks absolutely fine in Windows Media Player. Can you tell what wrongs?

Porblems importing Canon C300 footage into Premiere Pro CC 2014: only import 30 seconds

Hi! I'm having problems importing Canon C300 footage into Adobe Premiere Pro 2014. I'm taking the files directly from the media browser to I can only import the first 30 seconds of each clip.
Why can be that? Do I need a specific plugin?
Thaks for your help

Since you did not perform the copy process yourself, my thinking is that maybe something went wrong when it was done. Far too many people don't understand or follow the process that works.
My recommendation would be to get your hands on the cards and do it again, making sure to use only Explorer or Finder for the task.

Specific Video Footage in Premiere Pro CS5 completely black.

I've been working on a music video project in Premiere Pro CS5 for the past few months and everything has worked really well until just a few days ago, when a certain chunk of my high speed footage randomly turned black. I have it in its own bin so it's separated from my other video source files. If I try to preview these videos, all it shows is black footage (though the timelengths for each one are still correct). I checked and made sure the actual .avi files on my hard drive still worked, and they played through perfectly. I tried re-importing these videos into my project file and that didn't do anything. I made sure they were connected to the right files in the right folder on my computer, and they were. The rest of my video footage works just fine, so I'm confused why this certain bunch randomly turned completely black.
I backed up the entire project to an external hard drive and loaded it on a different computer with Premiere Pro CS6 on it, and everything works perfectly again. Does anybody have any idea how I can get my footage to return from the black abyss it's fallen into on my personal computer running CS5?

Using new Adove Media Encoder with Premiere pro cs4

I have Premiere Pro Cs4 and Design&Web premium CS6 - which comes with Adobe Media Encoder cs6. Can I get Premiere Pro CS4 to use the new encoder (and hopefully speed up)?

I am on Window 7 32-bit that Premiere CS6 does not work. So I use CS4 for editing. For one specific project, I kept getting errors when using AME CS4 and it was extremely slow (8min of video estimated 20 hours). Someone said CS4 4.2 is really slow so I'd like to use AME CS6 to render project files from CS4. Tried that but got adobe dynamic link components error. I think it may be because I didn't include Premiere and After Effects when installing CS6.
Do you have success using AME CS6 on CS4 project file? Is it likely to make it work without installing CS6 one more time?
Thanks,

Lifting the 12 min clip length limit in Premiere Pro

Hi everyone,
my client edits long clips in Adobe Premiere Pro CS5. According to his description, after the first 12 min the clips are grayed-out and don't play. I didn;t have a chance to work with long single shots in Adobe Premiere, but the client told me he heard from someone that there's a setting somewhere in the program that allows the display of the longer clips. I would appreciate if someone in the Forum could point me to that setting.
Thanks in advance,
Dimitri Vorontzov

Okay, still had no chance to see it with my own eyes because the guy having the problem is out and about with his crew and keeps his office locked in the meantime, but he's still begging for help and gave me some info over the phone. the info is as follows:
– he's working with .mp4 files in Premiere Pro CS5
– apparently, Premiere Pro automatically converts five 12-min long files shot as one take into one-hour clip
– while the project is open, the 1-hour clip plays fine
– when he leaves the project and re-opens it later again, the first 12 minutes of the 1-hour clip play normally, and the rest of the 48 min are grayed-out and do not play.
– if he razors off the non-playing 48 minutes to keep the 12-min clip that plays normal, and extends the 12-min clip back to 1 hour length, it becomes the full, normally playing 1-hour clip (until the project is closed)
His question is: are there any settings that can fix/prevent the problem?
