Best capture for avermedia to premiere cs4

I realize through reading it is not likely that premiere will capture directly to this advice via usb 2.(from analog vhs player)
the software that came with it (cyberlink dvd) will only save the video to mpg, not avi.
does anyone know an option where I can capture high quality video/audio through this device to my hard drive in avi format (hopefully others as well)
free option is best as I only need to capture, software that does it all not needed as I of course want to edit in adobe products.
I also have premiere elements 2 and it doesn't work
thanks very much

You are correct. PrPro will NOT Capture via USB.
I do not know your hardware, so cannot comment directly.
This ARTICLE might be helpful for going from analog to digital.
Now, I have an older copy of CyberLink's PowerDirector, and it will Export to DV-AVI. I do not know the specs. for CyberLink DVD though.
Good luck,

Pls help putting together the BEST SOLUTION for PP and AE CS4

Hi guys
I was tasked to put together the best machine (machines) for video editing / rendering .. money is not an issue.
My client is a TV broadcasting network and they do lots of videos everyday .. They want to render their work as FAST as possible because sometimes they have tight deadlines and rendering and re rendering (if there are mistakes) has cost them .. so now they're serious about getting the best technology to achieve best rendering time possible, but in a bit of practical sense of course.. i mean there's no sense spending 1000USD or more for a piece of technology that offers under 10 second faster rendering only ..
What they do and want
- edit/put together/ sequence lots of videos constantly, under premiere cs3 (will upgrade to cs4 on the new machine)
- use affter effects for some effects and 3D stuffs.. but not that much.. but increasingly as time goes by and their video editors get more affter effects training..
- needs really really fast rendering!! Right now it takes them typically 1-2 hours to render stuffs, and what to cut this time by half or more..
Existing Setups on work stations:
Intel QuadCore (Q6600, i7, Q9550, Xeon x3220, and the likes)
4GB RAM DDR2 1066mhz
Highend motherboards
GeForce 9500GT , 9800GT, and GTX 260 216sp
GSKILL Falcon 64GB SSD Drive as primary
1TB Western Digital BLACK edition drives for storage
Software:
Windows XP 32 bit
Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 (80% of all their work done here)
AE CS3
etc..
Running NOD32 Antivirus
I am an somewhat of an expert in Hardware and stuff, i build custom PC's machines most of my life but i have limiited knowledge on optimizing hardware for VIDEO EDITING stuffs.. so i turn to you all.
I do understand that w/ video editing CPU is the most important, followed by RAM, and ofcourse by HDD for disc caches and stuff.. and where videocard may come to an advantage as well. and normally i'd suggest the fastest components available . i7 , extreme processors, skulltrail dual quad setups perhaps? RAID 0 SSD Drive? etc.. but I do not know w/c gives the most advantage, and w/c is a waste of money..
I also read about quadro cards offering really big performance improvements using CUDA tech etc..
again im not the expert at this type of requirment.. so i need your advises..
with unlimitted PRACTICAL budget given to me to come up w/ a solution I initially thought a rendering farm would be the solution, but upon reading around it seems there's no rendering farm solution for PP CS4.. just the adobe after effects part.. so i had to go back to the drawing board and suggest really powerful work stations instead..and perhaps have them migrate to 64bit OS for that "extra" performance.. i myself am on win7 64bit and it's looking mighty good.
1) is this the right move?
2) is it still worth it to put together rendering farm for AE renders only? or might as well concentrate funds on the machines/workstations?
Also along the PRACTICALITY LINE, would it be practical to maintain all the existing machines, and instead build a manned RENDERING MACHINE w/ PP and AE (basically desktop or Server if they are faster at rendering w/ the best specs for the purpose etc) where they can just throw the workload to some guy there for rendering? Atleast the editors can continue using the workstations while the rendering machine guy is at work? and even perhaps setup a gigabit lan network where the RENDERING MACHINES can dynamically pull the work load via the network , not needing to transfer the files to the rendering machine first ? etc
as you can see im not only looking for the best machine, but the best STRATEGY for my client.
Good suggestions would be much appreciated.
regards to all

in a nut shell no. if you do not have to "Share" then Avid is pointless Adobe is a far better answer.
Avid solutions still need a computer. The Mojo.Nitris are a joke and Avid no longer provides computers even the Symphany comes with your choice of Apple Mac Pro or HP 800. (Dual Xeon)
there are better "hardware" answers that what Avid sells for Adobe. Decklink, Aja to name a few.
if you have to share then you have no choice. this is the one area Abode does not lead.
renders have to do primarily with 2 things CPU power (Xeon will render faster than single i7)
and Drives. the faster your drive set up the faster the render. Memory does play a part and so does the video card depending on what codec and to what
it also depends on WHAT you are rendering and from what for the HDDs.
without knowing your work flow format and codec its impossible to suggest something.
in terms of rendering
Core i7
Dual Xeon (faster unless still doing DV/HDV thru firewire)
Sonnet raid array

Can't capture w/ Firewire in Premiere CS4

Hello All,
I am trying to capture video footage from my Canon XL2 camera into Premiere CS4 using Firewire. I keep getting the message that the 'Capture Device is Offline'. I went into the camera settings and noticed that AV>DV was turned OFF, so I turned in to ON, but still nothing. Not sure why I am having these issues when I haven't had them in the past. Can someone help?
Thank you,

Best practice for importing non-"Premiere-ready" video files

Hello!
I work with internal clients that provide me with a variety of differnet video types (could be almost ANYTHYING, WMV, MP4, FLV). I of course ask for AVIs when possible, but unfortunately, I have no control over the type of file I'm given.
And, naturally, Premiere (just upgraded to CS5) has a hard time dealing with these files. Unpredictable, ranging from working fine to not working at all, and everything in between. Naturally, it's become a huge issue for turnaround time.
Is there a best practice for preparing files for editing in Premiere?
I've tried almost everything I can think of: converting the file(s) to .AVIs using a variety of programs/methods. Most recently, I tried creating a Watch Folder in Adobe Media Encoder and setting it for AVI with the proper aspect ratio. It makes sense to me that that should work:using an Adobe product to render the file into something Premiere can work with.
However, when I imported the resulting AVI into Premiere, it gave me the Red Line of Un-renderness (that is the technical term, right?), and had the same sync issue I experienced when I brought it in as a WMV.
Given our environment, I'm completely fine with adding render time to the front-end of projects, but it has to work. I want files that Premiere likes.
THANK YOU in advance for any advice you can give!
-- Dave

I use an older conversion program (my PrPro has a much older internal AME, unlike yours), DigitalMedia Converter 2.7. It is shareware, and has been replaced by Deskshare with newer versions, but my old one works fine. I have not tried the newer versions yet. One thing that I like about this converter is that it ONLY uses System CODEC's, and does not install its own, like a few others. This DOES mean that if I get footage with an oddball CODEC, I need to go get it, and install it on the System.
I can batch process AV files of most types/CODEC's, and convert to DV-AVI Type II w/ 48KHz 16-bit PCM/WAV Audio and at 29.97 FPS (I am in NTSC land). So far, 99% of the resultant converted files have been perfect, whether from DivX, WMV, MPEG-2, or almost any other format/CODEC. If there is any OOS, my experience has been that it will be static, so I just have to adjust the sync offset by a few frames, and that takes care of things.
In a few instances, the PAR flag has been missed (Standard 4:3 vs Widescreen 16:9), but Interpret Footage has solved those few issues.
Only oddity that I have observed (mostly with DivX, or WMV's) is that occasionally, PrPro cannot get the file's Duration correct. I found that if I Import those problem files into PrElements, and then just do an Export, to the same exact specs., that resulting file (seems to be 100% identical, but something has to be different - maybe in the header info?) Imports perfectly into PrPro. This happens rarely, and I have the workaround, though it is one more step for those. I have yet to figure out why one very similar file will convert with the Duration info perfect, and then a companion file will not. Nor have I figured out exactly what is different, after running through PrE. Every theory that I have developed has been shot down by my experiences. A mystery still.
AME works well for most, as a converter, though there are just CODEC's, that Adobe programs do not like, such as DivX and Xvid. I doubt that any Adobe program will handle those suckers easily, if at all.
Good luck,
Hunt

Best screen capture for using with premiere elements?

i have been scouring the net to figure out how to get better results than what i'm getting with the camstudio (love the program, and it looks great until i pull it into premiere). I have read that it can be a codec issue or an fps issue, but before i follow those trails, i was wondering if there is a screen capture software that works well with premiere, without a lot of hassle. (not necessarily free, just reliable and hassle free with good quality in premiere elements) Anyone have experience with this?
thanks in advance!

4K footage to DVD: what are the best settings for exporting in Premiere Pro CC v7.2.2?

Hello everyone!
I am editing a big bunch of short 4K clips (XAVC in MP4) which will then go onto DVDs. The idea is to get as many of those clips on a DVD as possible. Using Premiere Pro 7.2.2 on Windows 8.
What I would like to know is whether I'm actually using the best possible settings for this case, because the video exported to MPEG2-DVD doesn't look that good. Or maybe it needs to be exported to a different format and rather converted to DVD format after?
The sequence setting are the following:
RED Cinema
Frame rate: 29,97 fps
3840x2160 (16:9)
Square pixels
The export settings I've been using:
MPEG2-DVD
Aspect ratio: 16:9
TV Format: PAL
Field order: progressive
Frame rate: 25
Video quality: 100
Bitrate: VBR
1, I've tried different bitrates, also setting minimum at 9, but this blows up the file size too much (as i mentioned, the idea is to get at many clips as possible on a DVD)
GOP: M - 3, N - 15 (haven't touched those)
Multiplexer: none (should i put DVD?)
I'm using maximum render quality
Have I given all the information?
Any help will be appreciated!@

As Ann has advised do not expect too much, you are going down a lot in quality.
Why are you also going from NTSC to a PAL output?
Premiere will drop frames to get from 29.97 to 25.
PAL DVD players read NTSC discs fine as long as they are region 0
Why are you trying to produce a DVD anyway?
A Bluray would be far better quality.
Also a minimum 9 is way wrong, c9.6 is the max in the spec and hence avoided as your system is trying to push the spec limits to close.
I used to use 6 - 7.5 - 8.8 in my VBR and they looked fine, now I am all HD.

What is the best practice for uninstalling only some CS4 programs (Win 7 PC)

I recently upgraded from CS4 to CS5.5 and wanted to free up some hard drive space on my Windows 7 PC. I wanted to uninstall only a few programs though from CS4, such as Photoshop, Illustrator, Flash and Bridge. What is the best way to do this keeping in mind licensing, deactivating and properly removing components? I have the original installation disk for CS4 if needed. Thanks for any help!

Best practice: Uninstall everything (including your CS5.5), run the Creative Suite Cleaner Tool, then reinstall the components you need from both editions. CS4 may have a repair/ change configuration mode, but I'd strongly advise against using it, as it will do more damage than good, so use the long way round. It's also the only way to not bust up file associations with an uninstall of CS4...

What are the Best settings for GEforce GTX680 & Premiere Pro CC

I have purchased the Geforce GTX 680 mac edition and installed in my Mac Pro 2012. However, there are some settings in Premiere Pro that are a little perplexing to me. To maximize the effectiveness of video card and get the best render times I want to make sure my settings are correct.
I read that under Sequence Settings it is best to check off Maximum Render Quality and then under Preferences > Memory I should check off Memory instead of Performance. Am I correct in doing this?

I own a Mid 2012 Mac Pro which had a ATI Radeon HD 5870 and replaced it with a GeForce GTX 680 bought from Amazon in the UK.
Card Installation - first issue I had was getting the old ATI card out, after undid the obvious screws it just wouldn't come out, so I read the Mac manual reminding me to press the button on the grey plastic card holder which moves a metal bar out the way, then it came out easily! Once card was installed I switched on the power and the Mac stayed on the grey Apple logo screen for 20 minutes. Called Nvidia in Germany and got a guy who only knew Windows who told me to reinstall the old card, delete the ATI drivers and try again, such a Windows tech support response! I knew this was not how Apple work, so I searched the forums and it turned out I need to fully turn the power off at the wall for both the Mac Pro and my 27" Apple Cinema Display as they seem to retain some settings from the previous setup. Once I did that, the Mac booted up correctly :-)
CUDA Drivers: It is very odd there is no mention of having to install the CUDA drivers in any of the documentation you get from Nvidia, but thanks to this forum thread I knew to go to the CUDA drivers page at http://www.nvidia.co.uk/object/mac-driver-archive-uk.html
and downloaded the CUDA driver, it installed and when I ran my old premiere projects with an embed After Effects clip in them, unlike before wiht the ATI the timeline rendered them in real time, so that is a major improvement.
Dilema: only question left is whether to be using the CUDA settings or OpenCL option in the Premiere Pro CC > Projects Settings tab?

Best DVC for Premiere 10?

I have a Canon digital video camcorder which has no firewire connection socket - only a socket for a USB connection, which means that Premiere 10 doesn't recognise my camcorder when I want to transfer videos from camcorder to computer.
Does anyone have any opinions about the best camcorder for use with Premiere 10? Price range up to 500 dollars.

In reply to both Steve G and John T, my camcorder is a Canon Legria FS20 with its own hard drive (flash memory) and an SD card as well. I can't find out whether it has high definition or not in the manual - it seems to be geared towards displaying videos straight from the camera to the TV and for burning direct onto DVDs.
I believe it to be "a lower end, standard definition hard drive camcorder" as Steve says.
I did have a tape based camcorder before which is now broken and I don't see many of these for sale now - hard disk drive models seem to be taking over, and I don't see many film cassettes around either.
Ideally I'd go for inbuilt hard drive, high definition, a powerful optical zoom, 4:3 & 16:9 image proportion and easy transference into Premiere 10.
There are so many makes and models on the market it's difficult choosing. I'm hoping Adobe Premiere 10 users will have some ideas.

Best Video Card for non 3d/compositing work in Premiere CS4?

Hi all, I'm looking to optimize my system where I can to speed up the editing process. I edit 1080p footage from the Canon 5D MKII (h.264 MOV files)using half-res h.264 proxies, but CS4 seems to hang a lot in the timeline view and clips just disappear and instead show green. I'm switching to half-res MPEG-2 (.m2v) proxies now and so far that problem seems to have gone away (still testing), but when timeline display quality is at "High Quality" (vs. automatic) there's still some chop during slow pans (not seen with "Automatic" or "Draft Quality").
Anyway, I'm looking for the weakest point in my system and suspect the video card. My system is an 2.66 i7 processor, 6GB 1333 ram, 1x160GB sata II HD (OS/Apps), 3x1TB SATA II RAID 0 (paging file, data), and an $80 ATI 4650 512 MB video card running Vista 64.
So all that said, what's the best general graphics card for editing HD video in Premiere CS4? I don't care about 3d or compositing at this stage, just basic editing of unrendered (timeline playback) HD video, maybe sometimes 1-3 HD layers, some basic color correction effects (b+w, contrast, etc), dissolves, text overlay, some clip speed manipulation.
Many seem to recommend the Nvidia quadro cards, but I haven't found any information to suggest they help with anything other than 3D/compositing, which I don't need (and therefore don't need to pay the premium).
There's also the Nvidia CX card, but it's main feature is touted as encoding h.264, whereas I could care less about that and ideally need decoding of h.264 in the timeline to be better. I haven't seen any great reviews on this card of heard of average user testimonials, probably because it's $2k and it mainly marketed as "zoom more fluidly in photoshop, export h.264 4x faster", which seem like minor issues vs. "better realtime playback of HD video".
I sort of rambled, but if any informed CS4 users can help answer the question regarding the best video card for general CS4 editing use (not 3d/compositing stuff) I'd love to get more insight.

So in Media Encoder CS4, I tried encoding one of the clips that plays back the least smooth in the Premiere timeline (a slow pan across intricate patterns on a sand dune in death valley) to the following:
Format: P2 Movie, Preset: DVCPRO HD 720P 30
(this was the only format in media encoder that mentions DVCPRO HD)
I noticed when trying to customize the setting, that there is no 30 fps option, just 23.976, 29.97, and 59.94. I just went with 29.97 as that was the closest to the 30 fps of the source MK II footage. The width and height were also unajustable at 960x720 for the DVCPRO HD format.
Playing the output in the timeline view of Premiere was comparable in smoothness to the m2v file. I looked at my resource monitor during playback looking for bottlenecks, and the CPU does seem to spike at 100% initially when playing this clip back. I reverted to the m2v version and also saw the same CPU spike. I also reverted back to the down-res'd mp4 version, same spike. Moving display quality down to draft does allow for smooth playback here.
So I guess there's something about this clip that is CPU intensive to play back in the timeline in any of these formats. The original 1080p version plays back perfectly in both quicktime and VLC player.
Anyway, for now I think I'm content with using the m2v proxies as a big chunk of the clips are fairly smooth, and using a reduced quality display mode for clips that don't play as smoothly is accpeptable for now. At least so far I'm not seeing the hanging/video not displaying (and instead showing a green screen) that I was with the mp4 proxies.
If anyone has any other suggestions as to how to get smoother timeline playback for these proxies (or the original h.264 .MOV files), however, whether it be a hardware upgrade (e.g. better video card) or a different proxy codec, I'd love to hear them and give it a shot.

Capture Cards fro Premiere: What is best bang for the buck

I am looking to upgrade to the new Premiere and I am having a computer built for it. I wanted to find out what would be the best solution for capture cards. I will be wanting to capture analog (S-video cable) video in larger chunks, maybe up to 30 minutes or more. But doing this through firewire in the past, the audio would get out of sinc. What capture card has the best bang for the buck to accomplish this?

The challenge of using 3rd party tools (sw and hw) to bolster PPRO is you will be forever in the game of updating drivers here and there to make sure this or that works with that or this. Then when adobe updates their sw, the game begins anew with no guarantee of anything working together.
So; the promise of faster and better comes at a price of complexity and sometimes frailty and often a very short life. Well worth it for some; nightmare for others.
Consider a simple A/D converter for acquiring analog sd video. Or a cam with analog passthr.

What's hardware should upgrade for Using Premiere CS4 to editing (AVCHD)m2ts file?

What's hardware or software should upgrade for Using Premiere CS4 to editing (AVCHD)m2ts file?
1st question: when i try to do editing by using Premiere CS4 AVCHD sequence timeline, the edting monitor seems not smooth (like wearing goggles) & delay, and when i use AME to encode m2ts file (which not yet edit) to AVI file (about 1 hour), it take 2h 13min to finish, is it normal?
2nd question: i use mpeg2 HD 1440 file to do eding, the edting monitor also not very smooth but better than using m2ts file, after editing done, i try to encode these mpeg2 HD 1440 file (which edited about long 1 hr) to a New file mpeg2 1440 X 1080i HQ or even mpeg2 Pal DV HQ file, the encoding was not runthe encoding after wait for half an hour. How many hours it take usually????
3rd question: i use m2ts file video file to export as a Bitmap, 1 frame 1 picture bitmap, it take long time too, about 1 or 2min to finish encoding, if i export more than 1 picture, it take even more time, i have experienced it, 3 or 4 pictures need about 10 or 15 min to finish encoding. i used to using mpeg2 HD 1440 file (which edited file) to export frame as picture, it not run the encoding at all. WHY ????
i'm new in Premiere CS4,so i got many question about Premiere CS4, usually i use Premiere Pro 1.5 version

Premiere CS4 vs Full HD YouTube (BEST quality) settings?

Windows Vista Premium (32-bit)
Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 (Version 4.2)
Hello. I have a problem. I've been using this settings to save my work for youtube:

Now, here is a quality that I get with it:

I've been playing around with the settings and somehow today I saved this file:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rMBixEnweWQ
I have no idea what I've changed, but the quality difference is significant!!!
I know the text is a little tiny bit smaller in the better quality one and it was move a couple of pixels, but that's not the point. I am 100% sure it has to do something with the settings.
Here are properties for both files:

It is kind off strange because a "Good Quality.mp4" files has a better quality over "Bad Quality.mp4" yet it has a smaller Size as well as Data rate and Total bitrate (highlighted in red)
I've even tried doing this hoping it would increase the quality. Maybe it did, but not significantly. Not nearly as good as the "Good Quality.mp4"

Thanks... All help is greatly appreciated...

Hi,
I'm back...made dinner and took a break...
I hope you bear with me on this as I really would like to see you get good results...and there's no reason why a title couldnt be loaded up to youtube with good results..
First off, a rule of thumb about video editing is this...
1) project settings match the source footage.
That's something it took me a while to learn but I finally did ( from people helping me here in fact ).
Another sorta general rule is that what you export would be about the same as your project settings ( same frame rate, same type of video (interleaved or progressive), same aspect ratio ( 4:3 or 16:9 ) and so on. The biggest difference in exporting is the type of delivery format ( mpeg 2 for DVD or mpeg 4 for web and that sort of thing...which means the codec you choose for export will be related to the final product usage.
Also, and this happens a lot....you can downsize the video to a smaller size...like go from HD to SD for a DVD instead of Blue Ray. Orrrrr, downsize video to play on a hand held device ( ipod ) etc.
Sooo, basically what you first do generally is create a project that matches your source footage. In the case of DV NTSC it would look something like this:
720x480, 29.97 fps ( which is how 30fps interleaved works because of a timing mark in the frame - when to start the next field scan --so its not exactly 30fps ) --- aspect ratio 4:3, interleaved, bottom field first , and so on.
As you can see from the general "specs" most of the important and outstanding things about the video in that format of describing it, most people will talk about their video source specs the same sorta way.
Like, 1920x1080 24p ( means HD progressive 24 FPS - the "P" after 24 means progressive )
The best results for export usually follow the source and project specs very closely. You CAN make an interleaved video progressive, but you have to half the size ( frame dimensions ) to do that and make it look good, because when you go to progressive you lose one field....lose half the resolution..
So lets say I start a project that is DV NTSC like you did...and made a title...
That is going to be 720x480 29.97 fps interleaved ( or progressive ) 4:3 aspect ratio OR 16:9. If interleaved it will be bottom field first, if progressive it will be NO FIELDS. The pixel aspect ratio is weird and depends on whether it is 4:3 or 16:9 and if I remember right neither one is square pixel. Sooo, this gives you the general idea what the project settings can be.
You could tell us exactly what your project settings are ( since theres no source video no need to worry about that for now ...can deal with that when you do get some video ....for now we can just get it exported well for the title )
Your project settings will tell us what would be BEST for exporting for YouTube...but I would bet that if you match DV NTSC with the YouTube preset to export DV NTSC as Ann mentioned earlier you would get GREAT results !
The problem so far has been trying to UPSCALE to HD from SD. That's why it has been geting blurry.
Now, just so you know....you can make a brand new project that is in fact HD ...and do a title and then export THAT to youtube also...as HD, without losing any quality also....but you need to set the project settings for HD first.
I hope this helps a little and sorry my head was spinning around earlier ...please don't hesitate to ask more questions...OK ?
ps... because you are only dealing with a title ( which is a bit different than actual video ) you may in fact get decent results upscaling to HD from SD...but you really shouldn't get used to doing that ...as you can just as easily create the HD project, make the title and use the YouTube preset Ann gave you...and it will be beautiful !
