Capture from HDV camera on 4x3 SD setting

I'm trying to capture 4x3 SD video from a Cannon XHA1 camera, which is an HD camera, into Premiere Elements.  I've tried setting up my Premiere file in 4x3 and 16x9 and tried setting the camera at DV 4x3 and 16x9.  When I go to capture, Premiere shows that it's working but once I hit stop/pause, I get a notification that no frames were captured.  What am I doing wrong?

I'm connected through firewire.  Not sure about "DV Lock."  Under system control, there is an option for "DV Control," and MAGN. B. Lock and Shutter Lock.
DV Control is switched to "OFF"

  • Capturing from different camera

    Perhaps an odd, and silly, question, but here goes. Is there any problem with using a camera that was not used to shoot the DV tape to import that DV tape into FCE?

    Hi Ian,
    The answer could be yes or no.
    If your Pana DS8 (or some other miniDV tape based cam that you use for capturing) can play HDV recordings, then the answer would be yes.
    If your capture cam is only DV, then if the HDV camera has the capability to record DV onto the miniDV tape, then the answer would also be yes. Some, maybe even most, tape-based HDV cameras have a DV setting.
    But if it's an HDV recording, and your capture cam is a DV camera, even though the tape would physically fit, the capture cam would not be able to play the recording. HDV is MPEG2.

  • GF4-TI4200VTD8X capturing from analog camera

    I have got a problem to capture from analog Sony Hi8 video camera. I have used the video in on TI4200 and the winproducer/wincoder program. But I could not see my camera image and the video files in the program. How can I capture from analog camera (Video in socket)? I have already installed Ndivia capture driver. Please help me. Thanks.

    Thanks in advance.

  • Unable to capture DV footage from HDV camera

    I am trying to capture from a dv tape using the Sony HVR-Z1E, but I keep getting the following message:
    Unable to initialize capture device and device control........ This might also happen if you play DV footage in an HDV device.
    I have tried changing the settings on the camera but to no avail.

    Hi James,
    This is a good workaround for curing your camera recognition problem:
    First, check that your Easy Setup / Timeline / Camera or Deck Settings are all exactly the same, then making sure your camera or deck is in VTR mode, try to capture again.
    Still not working?
    Check whether iMovie recognises your camera.
    FCP uses a different form of QT than iMovie for capturing, so if the camera works in iMovie (or if it's listed in System Profiler) but not FCP, it obviously means your Mac can see the VTR but FCP can't, so you need to do this QuickTime fix.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301852
    Follow Apple's instructions carefully and you should have things running in no time - it's quite harmless!
    But if the Camera / Deck isn't recognised by iMovie or System Profiler, try resetting the Firewire Bus . . . Turn off the Mac and disconnect the power and all Firewire cables. Leave it for 30 mins then connect back up.
    Still not working? Try a different Firewire cable.
    Failing all this, try resetting the PMU (Power Management Unit). The method varies from machine to machine, so visit the Apple site and search for it in support.
    Don't use iMovie for capturing - it doesn't give you a timecode and that's very important.
    Let us know how you get on!

  • IMovie 08 minor problem, hovering on "Done" while capturing from a camera..

    In iMovie 7.0.1, when I am capturing from a camcorder, when I hover over "Stop", it shows "Click here to begin recording" instead of "Click here to stop...". The same is with when I am capturing with the iSight camera, it shows "Click to begin recording". This is a minor problem, but might confuse some computer illiterate folk and should be fixed in the next update.

    Thanks, I'll pass that along.
    If she's upgraded her OS or QT beyond this point, which she's probably done -- in all innocence -- then to get it to work, she'd have to re-install earlier versions of both OS X and QT? Or buy a new, considerably more expensive version of FCP?
    Wow! That's a bummer.

  • Why is my audio is out of sync with my video on hd capture from sony camera

    My System

    I have a Sony HVR Z series HD camera from sony.  I will capture a tape and it will be out of sync. I will then recapture and it may be in sync or not, this is really frustrating especially for music videos and weddings, actually a nightmare. I'm not quite sure as to the reason as it happens in Adobe Premiere cs3 and cs4. I have updated everything. Do you thing I need a 10000 RPM os system drive. Any help would be appreciated.
    Joan

    I have 2 Sony HDR FX1 and 1 Sony HVR Z1U and it works great in both CS3 & CS4 so something is wrong with your setup or camera.
    I only have a 7200 SATA drive for capture.
    I dont know if a bad cable would cause this.
    Harm has a couple other ways to capture that he says it keeps the audio in sync better but I have yet tried it but im sure from what I have read here that it works good.
    Here is a link to his Tools Article.

    Here are those 2 capture ways:

    HDVSplit: http://strony.aster.pl/paviko/hdvsplit.htm for capturing HDV material
    Hope this helps:  Glenn
    EDIT:
    I have an 5 year old system.
    On Bills PPBM4 test you can see that I scored second to LAST on speed so even my system can capture fine.

    Take the test and see how your system is running.  It doesnt take to long.

  • Uploading footage from HDV camera

    I'm having trouble getting FCP to connect with my Sony HDR-FX1E in 1080i format but it will work in DV. Only problem is all my filming was done in 1080i format and i can't download it. i have tried almost every combination i can think of in Audio/video settings and nothing will work if anyone can help that would be great cos i only have 2 days to get going on my editing. and have somthing to show.

    OK
    I setup my Z1U with recorded HDV footage then used setup easy set to HDV 1080i with firewire into my Mac. I'm not much on logging and batch capturing but it worked for my. I don't work like this because HDV doesn't take up that much room on the drives. What else can I help you with.

  • Live Capture from GL2 Camera via Firewire

    Image quality when capturing live video into iMovie from a Canon GL2 is very very grainy and poor quality. It used to work fine capturing into iMovie HD, but that no longer works correctly with Snow Leopard (transport controls and other buttons don't show up). The footage is totally unusable.
    I've heard that image quality in iMovie is a bit less than FCE, but this is no minor difference. Is there a setting that should be changed?

    t used to work fine capturing into iMovie HD
    iMovie 09 uses 'single field processing' meaning every other horizontal line of the video is thrown out, which reduces the sharpness of the footage.
    iMovie 06 (iMovie HD) uses ALL of the image to form the video.
    no longer works correctly with Snow Leopard (transport controls and other buttons don't show up).
    I use both iMovie 09 and iMovie 06 with OS 10.6 (Snow Leopard). (But when I need better quality I use iMovie 06.)
    I've heard that image quality in iMovie is a bit less than FCE, but this is no minor difference.
    iMovie 06 and FCE have the same image quality. iMovie 09 uses 'single field processing' so you have a bit lower quality.
    Is there a setting that should be changed?
    No.

  • Capturing from FW - Camera Crashes FCPE and Quicktime

    I just upgraded from my MacMini (my first) to this PowerMac Dc2.3 to do some video editing. I have Quicktime 7.03 and FCPE, and a Sony DVCamcorder connected via firewire. I also have a couple FW400 Harddrives and a FW800 drive connected.
    If I try to record using Quicktime, it crashes. If I try to capture in FCPE, it crashes. iMovie captures fine. I had checked out another thread where some folks were having problems with camera recognition and tried some of the suggestions, but this only temporarily fixed the problem. After uninstallng and reinstalling a number of times, I discovered that every time I deleted the Library>Quicktime directory and then reinstalled, it would work. I then used my Eskape Labs myTV.PVR and it went through the install process like it did when I first installed it. Now Quicktime and FCPE again crash.
    I drag the file: TrinityVDIG.component which was installed by the myTV.PVR installation from the Library>Quicktime directory to the desktop. This fixed the problem: Quicktime and FCPE once again work. If I put TrinityVDIG.component back, they break once again. The problem is clearly not with Quicktime or FCPE, but with this component that hooks into Quicktime.
    So when doing capturing, I just drag the component to the desktop and then drag it back when I want to watch TV. I also tried leaving the component in the Library>Quicktime directory and just unplugging the myTV.PVR device, this works, but the initialization of the capture is very slow compared to if you just remove the TrinityVDIG.component.
    I am going to try to send this to the Eskape people and hopefully they will produce a compatible component.
    I hope this might help some that are having a problem.
    Ed Cross

    i am having the same problem, except when i try to open it using itunes it also closes down and gives me that error message. I also tried opening the files with nero and the problem occurs there also. i wish there was a fix for this because quicktime 6 worked great.

  • Capturing from JVC 100 in HDV problem

    I can capture from this camera in SD - no problem.
    I set it up for HDV and in Log and Capture have full control of the playback etc but no video in the window. It says VTR OK.
    Pressing capture now gives message: no data from device, capture was aborted due to lack of incoming data. Check connections and that the deck is playing.
    I am using the same firewire connection as for the successful SD.
    I am still running on 5.04 as I did not realise that the upgrade time was limitted. I hope this is not the problem as I do not want to buy the big upgrade soon to be on offer. However I will shortly be getting a Framestore, the JVC DR HD100 and also hope that the upgrade will not be necessary for that.
    Or is there a way to get up to 5.1?
    Since writing this message I have returned to SD and am now having similar trouble but it did work before.
    Thanks
    Pete Snowdon

    Wait for FSC2 next month to upgrade. If you have had sucess using this camera before then see what has changed since. Have you updated anything like OSX or Quicktime? If you have some and not all updates this may be your problem. Also try resetting the camera to HDV with the firewire disconnected and setup a new project in HDV. Make a new capture scratch folder to an internal drive, and make suree you don't have any other firewire devices pluged in before resetting the computer.
    Let me know how it goes.

  • Trouble HDV capturing from a new XL-H1

    I'm having trouble capturing from my XL-H1. The footage was shot in HDV 24fps and I'm trying to capture it to my G5 with a new version of FCS 5.1.
    The machine seems to have trouble finding the in point and pops an error most times. When it doesd find the in point it cruzes right past the out point. When attempting to capture it also pixilates a frame or two about avery second and the video displays very choppy(during attempts to capture).
    I noticed in the batch capture window, the settings say HDV, 1440X1080i and 29.97fps. and There donen't appear to be a way to set that to 24fps. Am I missing somthing?
    G5 Mac OS X (10.3.7)

    No. I just haven't been able to successfully capture from that camera natively. I captured using my capture card...converting it to the more manageable DVCPRO HD. But I wanted HDV footage so that I could see what it was like. But I couldn't capture it.
    FCP 5.1.2 and up should have all the HDV 1080p options. Make sure you click SHOW ALL in the EASY SETUP window. There are 1080p60, 1080p30 and 1080p24.
    Other people have captured no problem, and yet more have my issue of not being able to. I could control the deck, but got nothing. Let us know how you fare.
