Capture Quality, Premiere Pro CS6

When I capture video through PP CS6, and check the properties of that captured clip, I see a seemingly arbitrary rating of "Quality = Least (1.00)"
When I capture video through AJA Machina, and Import that file into PP CS6, then look at the properties of that clip, it gives it a "Quality = Most (5.00)"
Can someone explain what this means?  I would like to capture and do everything in just PP, but is the AJA Machina giving me better quality?
Attached are 2 screenshots:

I understand the difference between capturing and importing.  Both clips were captured at one point in time.  One with PP itself, and one with an oustide capture software, AJA Machina.  Because one of the captured clips was captured with an ouside bit of software, it has to be imported into PP.  That doesnt mean it was never captured.  What I am trying to decide is, is there any difference between PP capturing, and AJA Machina capturing.  From the properties tab itself, PP is telling me that there is something different:  the aforementioned "Quality" section of said properties tab.  The AJA screen shot also shows what Compressor was used  (in this case AJA 2vuy 8-bit YUV 422.)  Whereas the PP capture says "Compressor = " and its left blank.
I want to know why one says Quality = Most (5.00) and the other says Quality = Least (1.00) When every other setting was the same between the 2 capture devices.  Same resolution, same frame rates, same pixel aspect ratio, same everything.  Except this Quality section of the properties of each captured clip.
If this is a purely arbitrary tag in the properties tab, why have it?

  • Can't Preview HDV Capture In Premiere Pro CS6

    I can't preview my HDV footage in Premiere Pro CS6.
    I know I'm not supposed to be able to see anything in the Capture Window when I'm actually capturing HDV, but it says I should be able to see my footage when I am just previewing in the Capture Window.

    Thanks Ann!
    I just figured it out.
    I'm using 2 monitors in extended mode.
    One is a VGA flat panel and the other is a DVI flat panel.
    I had the Capture Window open on my VGA monitor.
    When I moved the Capture Window to my DVI monitor, I got a preview picture.
    It's funny, when I move the Capture Window from the DVI to the VGA while playing, playing stops.
    And when I move it bak to the DVI, it continues to play.
    Maybe because the VGA isn't digital?
    Both monitos are hooked up to my GTX 470 GPU, so it seems wierd.
    Any feedback on this would be welcomed.
    Thanks again!

  • Premiere Pro CS6 on Mac crashes when attempting to capture HDV

    I've seen this topic previously but without an answer and was hoping for an update. I'm using Premiere Pro CS6.0.5 on a MacPro running 10.9.2
    The camera is a Sony HDR-FX7. When in the capture window, the camera is recognized. I can rewind and fast forward but when i push play it immediately crashes and gives the "serious error" notice.  The camera settings are set to HDV in the VCR setting and PremierePro is set to HDV capture format as well.

  • Using Premiere Pro CS6, currently not able to capture video.

    Using Premiere Pro CS6 along with Canopus ADVC100 as my capture device through a firewire port, but in the capture window, it only shows black. I've tried all different settings. I've always been able to capture in the past. I had the AOL Tech Gurus check my computer and all ports and everything is working properly. I've even switched out the firewire cable, as well as used a different ADVC100 and different firewire ports, though it still is not working. I did see video for a few seconds without sound, but it went away. When I do power up the ADVC, it immediately starts up Premiere Pro CS6, so my computer is recognizing the ADVC100. I'm wondering if something within my computer is conflicting with the capture.
    - Arlen

    Thanks cvid01 for jumping in -
    Where would I see the ADVC100 as the Capture Device aside from the drop down window in Device Control where I can choose it to be the Device Control?
    It's always worked with the Device Control Device showing "None". And the ADVC100 has always worked in the past with Premiere Pro CS6 for all my Captures.
    Also, my Premiere Pro CS6 starts up once I power up the ADVC100. Though I have even closed the Premiere Pro CS6 after it opened up, and restarted the program.
    Just wondering if the program itself has some sort of bug now in the capture window? Is there a Premiere Pro CS6 fix that will solve the issue?
    Here is what my capture window shows:

  • Premiere pro cs6 capture settings/media offline

    I'm trying to capture footage from my Sony HDV camera to Premiere pro cs6. After capturing it shows up in my project as an mp3 file and when I transfer to the timeline it says media offline. Can anyone please help?? When I import a file from cs5 project it says media offline also. When I import say an .flv file it works fine. I have matched the capture setting to that of cs5 so I'm rather confused...

    To restore default preference settings and plug-in cache at the same time, hold down Shift-Alt (Windows) or Shift-Option (Mac OS) while the application is starting. Release the Shift-Alt keys or Shift-Option key when the splash screen appears.
    Try if this works. It is weird that this happens. I have never had it with CS5+/6 both with Win7 and Win8.

    Using a Captured video on Premiere Pro CC on my Macbook air, my video wont import when moved to Premiere Pro CS6 when i try to edit it on a pc (Windows 7)
    When I try to import the file into CS6 it says *error while decompressing file*

  • Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 HDV Capture error

    Since the latest update, i'm not able anymore to capture HDV with firewire link from my Canon XHA1.
    MAC OSX Intel 10.7.5
    When it should start capturing I get an error and Premiere CS6 goes on 'freeze'.
    In CS5.5 (wich I kept installed), I don't have this error! But in CS5.5 there was no live view available.. what can be causing this error?
    Help me please!!!

    A cautionary tale:- I too fell foul of the Premiere Pro CS 6.0.5 update bug and kept losing my Firewire Capture. So I followed the advice here and uninstalled Premiere Pro and reinstalled it from the Production Premium disc and then updated to version 6.0.2.
    However, my Mac Pro has now lost all system audio - no Quicktime (”an unknown error -101”), no CD/DVD sound and the iTunes progress bar does nothing when I press play. This bug is detailed by others in Apple Discussion page https://discussions.apple.com/message/18657051#18657051. Thankfully I am still able to hear sound in Premiere through my line out so I can still edit.
    I’m not sure if this bug was fixed as the last submission to the Apple discussion was dated 20 June 2012 and the ‘Branched to a New Discussion’ link at the top of the page goes to a removed page.
    If an update to Premiere Pro could fix this bug (it only appears to happen when Premiere CS6 is installed) as well the loss of Capture, I would be happy.

    I have premiere pro CS6 and a blackmagic intensitiy pro HDMI capture card will I be able to capture HD TV progrsms if I have a HDCP compliant monitor?

    No.
    As soon as you connect the HDMI cable from your cable box to the BM card it will be seen as non-HDCP compliant.

  • Premiere Pro CS6 - Video Output (GPU) bad quality...

    Hi,
    I have a question about Adobe Premiere Pro CS6...
    I have installed the Trial-Version and use a BM Intensity Pro to output Full-HD 1080i (50, Interlace) trough HDMI Video-Output...
    The Video-Output works correctly, but if I enable the "GPU"-Acceleration (CUDA), and scale or transform a Video (for example a 3D-Transformation) the Quality of the transforming is very bad! (jerky, not "smooth", Interlace-Lines etc...)
    If I deactivate the GPU-Acceleration (Software only Mode), everything is smooth and looks good!
    Also if I render the Timeline, all tranformations are also smooth, only the Realtime GPU Rendering looks very bad....
    What can I do?

    Hi :-)
    I have tested it now with another Grafikcard!
    And it is exactly the same problem
    I have found out, that the GPU makes a delay, after a few seconds the Transformation looks smooth/bicubic!
    But on relatime-Playback its bad...
    My English isnt very good, so I have some problems to describe what I mean...
    If you stop the playback, it takes 2 Sekonds and then the image looks good!
    But dureing the playback its very bad quality, false Interlace-Lines etc...

  • Premiere Pro CS6 very bad YouTube quality.

    Hello,
    Before asking me to look further on google because there may be my answer, i say that i've searched/posted/asked everywhere i could.
    I use fraps to record some in-game footages, the file bitrates are huge 500-900M, i then render them in premiere pro as i need to add an intro/ending and then i upload them (or i'm hardly trying to) on youtube.
    The thing is I've used every setting I could ever find, contacted youtube users who managed to do it right, but after I upload the video on youtube, the quality is absolutely horrible.
    Right after i render i check the video, the quality is perfect, after that I upload it to youtube and after processing the video, it looks like it has 1M bitrate, laggy.
    Can anyone please help me to solve this problem?
    Thanks!
    RAW clip bitrate: 500-900M
    Render settings from Premiere Pro CS6:
    Format: H264
    Resolution: 1280x720
    Frames per second: 30
    Field Order: Progressive
    Aspect: Square Pixels (1.0)
    TV Standard: NTSC
    Profile: High
    Level: 5.1
    Render at Maximum depth: Checked
    Bitrate settings:
    Encoding: VBR, 2 pass
    Maximum bitrate: 20M
    Minimum bitrate: 20M
    (Tried with smaller bitrates too, like 8/10/15, the output file wasnt so clear but youtube would still kill it)

    OK. Here is what I have done.
    I took took your crisp video of game play and dropped it on the New Item button to create a sequence. I checked the sequence and saw that the video was 1280X720 using 30 frames per second. Not 29.97, but 30. That could be relevant.
    Then I took this screen shot of the video playing in Windows Media Player and in the Program Monitor of Premiere Pro. I see some degradation even at 30Mb/s which suprised me to be honest with you.  I read through the YouTube help and they recommed 30Mb/s for 720p so I exported at 30Mb/s.
    The easiest place to spot the degradation is in the space above the letter E (before the CK) in the upper left of the frame. Some of the texture is missing.Not much. It is ever so much softer. But I don't believe that it will prove to be relevant.
    So, now it is time to upload to YouTube and see what happens.
    Darn, I have no way to play the YouTube video at exactly 1280X720. I just have full screen and the larger box.  Is there a way to do that? Other than setting my monitor for 720p or playing it on an old HDTV?
    Oh well, here it is. Reasonably clean going in. How about coming out? Not so much. I am not happy with it. I am going to try again using CBR just for the heck of it. Crud. That didn't help. See for yourself.
    I am stumped. Somebody with the capability to see it at the exact size speak up please. How is it done. (I use Chrome.)
    Edit: I found a YouTube resizer that sets the medium box bigger - to 1280X720. I knew it had to be possible. But I am certainly not happy with the changes YouTube makes to a 30Mb/s file.
    I am off to go try Vimeo.
    Edit:
    I am not happy with this either.
    There is something about this video that makes it difficult for them to encode it. I have no idea what it might be. Perhaps the more technical among us can provide answers. It is not horrible, and it is better than 480p, but it isn't great.

  • Audio and video not synchronized when exporting from Premiere Pro CS6

    Hi
    We have made a project in Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 that´s intended to be exported to DVD (it´s a weeding). We are working with NTSC DV Widescreen. The exporting is 720x480
    We have 2 audio lines activated and sounding on this project.
    The question is:
    When exporting the entire video (the entire timeline sequece) using Adobe Media Encoder to formats like H.264 (NTSC DV Widescreen)... Quick Tile Movie or AVI without compression (we tested these formats) the 2 audio channels get unsynchronized from the video. The same problem occurs if we get a direct link of the timeline from Premiere to Encore.
    And Inside Premiere Preview audio is preety correct.
    Does anyone here are getting such problem?
    Also..can I ask another question (as I´m not expert on video production)?. What´s the best format for our purpose? Export a video to be played to DVD (we record weedings, birthdays..social events). No problem the time to export. We´d like the best quality for output.
    Thank you for the help
    Gustavo.

    Hi John and techkid123
    We have 4 cameras here. 1 is Sony model HD1000 (since it works with Mini-DV cassete we need to capture the image via Firewire). 2 cameras are Sony HD2000 (it generates *.MPEG files if I remember well). And 1 camera is a Panasonic AG-DVC7 (it generates *.MTS files)
    We start a new project using the Standard NTSC Widescreen 48Khz format.  When we drag to the timeline for example the MTS file...Premiere ask us if we want to Keep and Change timeline to suit the file specification. Anyway we always have 1 or 2 camera files that has a yellow line over timeline.
    But I renders correct...no problem to edit...and we had no problem with Premiere CS5.5 :/
    We are downloading the latest update of Premiere. I´ll make some test and publish here if the problem persist.
    Thank you a lot for the help

  • VHS - DVD Recorder - PC - Premiere Pro CS6: Workflow Questions

    Hello,
    I hope I have this posted in the correct place. I am seeking advice and suggestions for VHS tape to digital transfers. Here is my current workflow:
    VHS tape is played back on a Panasonic PV-D4744S VCR and is recorded directly (via composite A/V cable) to a Panasonic DMR-ES40V DVD recorder and onto a DVD-R, -RW, or +RW.
    The disc is then copied into a Windows 7 folder with all of the contents of its VIDEO_TS folder intact; this folder is saved on several external hard drives for safe keeping.
    I then open and import a copy of the .vob files into Premiere Pro CS6, where I minimally scale the video to eliminate the distortions (“VHS tearing”) on the sides and bottom of the VHS source video. The result is a very clear video which fits perfectly in a 4:3 project window on my 16:9 HD computer screen with minimal pillarboxing.
    It is at the stage of export where I am stuck.
    The final DVDs are going to be viewed on a 16:9 widescreen TV, as well as on an iMac computer. I’ve read all much about interlaced scanning (VHS, Laserdisc, TV) and progressive scanning (computer, LCD TVs), but I’m still not sure if I can make a DVD which will look proper on both TVs and computers. In addition to the scaling, I am using Premiere to add chapter makers and poster frames to the video, which I wish to then export to either Encore CS6 or NeroVision – I love Nero’s animated 2D and 3D menu selections. What export settings should I use in Premiere which are closest to the original, imported .vob files? I’ve exported some test videos in MPEG2-DVD format to folders, but they are huge compared to the original DVDs made on the standalone recorder, i.e., 12.8GB on Premiere export compared to the 4.7GB import.
    Are there settings to make the Premiere export as close to the original DVD import of 4.7GB without sacrificing quality? Should I simply import the sequence into Encore as a timeline and let it perform the heavy lifting of automatically compressing the files to fit on a 4.7GB DVD? NeroVision seems to not accept the MPEG2-DVD files; it “sees” only the .m2v video files and not the .wav audio files.
    In a nutshell:
    I want to take a raw DVD-R (or -RW, +RW) recorded on a standalone and copy to hard drive, add chapter markers and minimal scaling in Premiere Pro CS6, then export and burn a DVD that will look good on both a 16:9 TV and computer screen.
    I'm trying to get this project finished for a soon upcoming family get together. Any suggestions, tips, and general advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Eric

    Hi Eric,
    The issue I would have with the workflow is that DVD is heavily compressed for delivery - not meant for re-compressing again. You're re-compressing a file that's already been compressed as small as can be. Most DVD recorders have different quality settings, like 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours. Use the 1 hour mode on the DVD recorder to get the "best" quality source if you must re-edit the stuff. The typical workflow would be to have some sort of capture device on the computer that records a larger, less compressed file to begin with.
    As for export from Adobe using Media Encoder, choose "MPEG-2 DVD" of course, and select "NTSC DV" for the preset. Under the VIDEO tab, you'll need to adjust the encoding bitrate according to the video length. A good rule of thumb is to use 560/minutes=bitrate, and I will round down a touch for safety margin. This assumes Dolby Digital audio on the DVD (AME exports .wav audio and Encore converts to Dolby). Note that most folks don't go over 7 or 8, for best compatibility (the max limit is a bit higher, but quality of VHS source is not going to get any better anyway at higher rates, GIGO).
    Regarding audio for the DVD, could be that Nero expects ONE file with audio and video. In AME, look under MULTIPLEXING and change from NONE to DVD, this will combine them. Then under AUDIO, choose DOLBY or maybe MPEG will work for you. Use a 192k bitrate for audio if going that route.
    Note sure what you meant about the 16:9 screen - would recommend against putting the 4:3 source material into a 16:9 sequence in Premiere in you are, this will do more harm than good. Stay with 4:3 throughout, including the DVD creation - the DVD player and TV ought to know what to do with it. You're actually REDUCING the resolution if you use a 16:9 workflow. Note that if you encode a 16:9 DVD using 4:3 material in the 16:9 frame, and then play that DVD on a 4:3 TV, bad news - it gets letterboxed AND pillarboxed and you end up with a small video surround by black on all sides. Not cool.
    I'd stick with interlaced - if you deinterlace the footage at any point, you are essentially throwing away HALF the resolution, which is weak to start with for SD. Most software players will have Preferences settings to let you tweak the playback/deinterlacing at that point, and TVs will handle it fine.
    PS - if you use Encore, then just export the .m2v and .wav files using Media Encoder, import both to Encore, and Encore then does NOT recompress the video any further (as long as it fits), only the audio gets the Dolby conversion. Do NOT use Multiplexed files in Encore.
    Hope this is all helpful

  • Premiere Pro CS6 still much faster than Premiere Pro CC

    I am currently editing videos that were captured using screen recording software. The files have subsequently been converted to .WMV clips with a data rate of exactly 4.4 MB/sec (that's Megabytes/second). This data rate includes both video and audio.
    There is no problem editing these clips in Premiere Pro CS6. Playback and scrubbing are fine at any quality setting and at any magnification size. Unfortunately, this is not the case with Premier Pro CC2014. This "new" version of Premier Pro chokes to death with attempting to play back or scrub the exact same clips. Even at 1/4 resolution, CC2014 struggles along. I can improve things a bit by turning off CUDA acceleration (which makes even less sense to me), however, CC2014 just can't do what CS6 does.
    I introduced this issue a few months ago, but it obviously has not been resolved by Adobe. They are bringing new feature into CC2014 all the time, but I'd much rather they focus on getting the software to work properly, like CS6 does.

    Totally agree!  C'mon on Adobe...let's fix the performance and the memory leakage!
