CS4 crashes on capture HDV

Premier CS4 blue screens as soon as I press capture. I am working on a high end system that has no problem with HDV footage in CS3. In fact it has been incredibly stable and I have never had a blue screen in the two years I have been running it. It is a dual Xeon HP xw8400 with 8GB RAM with a NVIDIA Quadro FX1500 video card running XP x64. It was built specifically for editing and has a dedicated system drive and 4 x 500GB drives for capture. It is not online and only has CS4 and 3DS Max on it. I have added Premier CS3 and that still works perfectly.

Blue screens usually point to severe incompatibilities between OS, IRQ's, drivers, etc. beyond a single application. Try to find which processes are running with Process Explorer and look for memory or IRQ activity with Process Monitor. Have a look at

  • CS4 crashes when capturing via ADVC-100

    I have been successfully using CS4 to capture from my Canon HV20 camcorder.
    Today I tried to capture old VHS video using a Canopus ADVC-100 analog to DV converter. This has always worked perfectly when I was using Premiere Pro 1.5.
    With the ADVC-100 connected, as soon as I hit F5 to open the capture window, CS4 crashes with a blue screen and IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL. I have tried capturing several times with the same result.
    Is this a known bug and is there a workaround available.

    wondering why you use the canopus any way. From the canon web site:
    Analog Digital Image Converter: This function lets you feed the analog signal from your TV, VCR or analog camcorder to your HV20 to convert to digital for recording on DV tape. The HV20 can also be used as a signal converter by connecting it between an analog device and another digital device.
    In other words, ditch the canopus.

  • PP CS4 won't capture HDV or import m2t files

    MacbookPro, OSX 10.6.4
    I haven't done a video project for a couple of months, and everything was working then.
    But now, I can't import HDV footage captured by OnLocation (.m2t) ("format not supported"), or capture it directly from my video camera (Sony HVR-A1U). There are also no sequence presets for HDV video.
    When I try capturing from the camera, my MacbookPro's webcam shows in the previewer, although the controls in the capture window do control the camera (play, stop, rewind etc.). If I go into the capture Settings, no firewire sources are shown.
    I can capture HDV from the camera using iMovie (to Quicktime format). In some respects, that is better, since it does HDV scene detection (unlike PP CS4), saving me a little work. But iMovie won't import m2t either so I'll have to find some other way to convert if for use by PP.
    I tried reinstalling PP from disks but to no effect. Before I try full unininstall and reinstall , I thought I'd check here to see if anyone has ideas about what is going on with PP.

    >no sequence presets for HDV
    I don't know if this applys to Mac or not, but I have seen messages saying that PPro will, for some unknown reason, sometimes revert to demo status... which only supports SD video, and nothing that requires any flavor of MPEG

  • Trying to capture HDV with a Canon HV30    CS4

    I am new to this HD video.Im trying to capture to PPRO cs4 and not sure what settings to use.When I first start out I have my new project set to HDV after that it takes me to new sequence panel there I have selected the preset HDV 1080p30 (Im hoping this is correct) after this I go to the capture panel there I select where to put the video and I also select HDV.When I try to capture the video does not show on the PPRO preview screen but it does capture the video and run the camera from there. The camera is set to HDV output and while its capturing it shows a fire wire symbol on the camera screen and says something like HDV out
    Just like to know if Im doing everything correct.'
    Thanks for your time

    Had you read the manual or help file on capturing HDV, you would have seen that there is no preview during capture with HDV material. I suggest you read the manual from front to cover to get acquainted with this program and watch tutorials. It will make your editing experience much nicer.

  • Capture hdv in Premiere Pro  CS4

    Hello
    I captured hdv in premiere pro CS4,
    the file was mpeg.
    I wonder,
    Why only mpeg file format?
    not avi
    There is no options in premiere pro CS4? - avi or mpeg

    HDV is MPEG2 and capturing is only a tranfer of data, nothing more.

  • FCP 5.0 crash when trying to capture HDV. Happens since running  w LEOPARD

    I migrated FCS from a G5 1.8 GHz powerPC to a Mac Pro Intel 2.66 GHz. Also I upgraded to Leopard. Now when I set FCP to capture HDV, it quits unexpectedly when I try launch the log and capture tool.
    The same thing is happening with FCP in the G5, however, this doesn't happens when I try to capture other formats.
    Also when I try to work with HDV media that was captured before the migration (the media is in an external La Cie HD) FCP works slowly and the canvas is green. This is happening in both the Mac Pro and the G5.
    In the Mac Pro I have set Quicktime to Rosetta hoping to solve the problem but it persist.
    With the G5 I have never had a problem to capture HDV until now that I have done the migration and have upgraded to Leopard.
    Have already reinstalled FCS, trashed FCP preferences... What else can I do ?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

    Was your install of Leopard clean? i.e. did you erase a disk and reinstall from the ground up? If not that's probably what needs to happen...

  • Premiere CS3 and CS4 Crashes

    I'm having trouble with Premiere Pro versions CS3 and CS4 crashing and am not sure why. The problem usually occurs after a few minutes of the program being opened or when we either try to scrub through the timeline or try to capture. It's very frustrating.  The machine came installed with CS4 and we have tried to remove and then re-install. We have also tried removing and adding CS3 and have had similar results. Recently we purchased a school license for CS5 although for Premiere we had to install the CS4 version and still have gotten the same results. This was working fine for quite sometime and I can't come up with a resolution to what is causing the problem. Can anyone offer any advice or suggestions on what to look into correct the problem? We are on an XP computer.

  • Crashing during capture

    Lately I've been having trouble capturing HDV video from my Canon HV30....FCE keeps crashing during capture. This problem has just recently started, even though I haven't changed any settings or done anything differently from the past. I'm using a 2x2.8 quad core Mac Pro, 8GB ram, OS10.6.2, FCE 4.01 and I'm capturing to a dedicated Western Digital scratch drive (640 gb, about 200 gb free). I'm capturing via Firewire, and I don't have any other firewire devices attached during capture. Any ideas why FCE has suddenly started crashing, and any ideas for troubleshooting? Thanks.

    I have had the same problems attempting to capture from a Canon HV40: whether I shoot at 60i or 30P, the result is the same: Capture will open a window without any playback controls and start to play the footage (that is, it starts the camera playing) but if (a) I stop playback from the camera, or (b) the shot ends and the tape is now blank, or (c) I press ESC to end the capture as per the instruction at the bottom of the capture screen, in all instances FCE 4.01 crashes. And when i restart it, there is NO list of shots captured, nothing. But if I go into the scratch disc, they are there. I cannot get these files to open in QT, either!

  • Fcp6 + XL-H1 + basic firewire = crash during capture ?

    I'm trying to capture 1080i50 footage and fcp has crashed a few times during capture.
    Anybody else having this problems?
    Any workarounds?
    Trashing prefs? Anything else?
    Or are 10.5 + fcp6 + XL-H1 just incompatible to each other?

    Sounds like a similar problem as mine .. it captures just fine with basic NTSC. but crashes with any HDV setup .. I'm using Sony FX1 .. I went so far as to reformat my macpro' .. tried to install Tiger, but it wouldn't allow it. Apparently it is not compatible with the new Intel processor's. Tried capture without any updates .. still crashed.

  • CS4 Premiere wont recognice HDV

    Suddenly in the middle of a project CS4 stopped to recognize HDV files. I cant open them and I cant select HDV when capturing(only DV). Anything HDV is gone. Reinstalling adobe or windows did not fix it. What the heck happend?

    According to Adobe the only certified HDV camera is the Canon HV30.
    "Adobe tests a large variety of camcorders during development and has found that most DV camcorders work in Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 with no problems.
    If you are concerned that your camera may not work with Adobe Premiere Pro CS4, we invite you to download the trial version (http://www.adobe.com/go/trypremiere_pro). The trial version of Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 provides 30 days of full-functionality DV editing."
    Here's the 12 camera they fully support???!!?!?

  • Why cannot create any HD sequence and capture HDV

    Hi, I just started to use mac to edit video.
    I am using Premiere Pro CS5 with my macbook pro
    When I open Premiere, I found that I am not allow to selected capture HDV
    And then, NO any HD sequence can be selected.
    Does anyone get the same problem?
    Please tell me what should I do... thanks

    Welcome to the forum.
    Do you have the trial, or the full-paid version?
    For the trail, Ann's link will tell the full story.
    If the full-paid version, did you do the updates?
    If so, it is likely that your full-paid version has reverted to trail. This happened to some in CS4, and it appears that the update trial Bug might be back in CS5.
    If your full-paid version HAS reverted:
    Deactivate, if possible, and Uninstall
    Run Adobe Clean Script CS5 several times, rebooting between each run
    Reinstall PrPro, and immediately update, before launching the program
    Good luck, and let us know which version you have,

  • Unable to capture HDV in FCP 6.0.1 from Sony HVR-Z1P

    Hi I'm attempting to capture HDV footage from a Sony Z1.
    I am trying to capture some HDV footage I shot with the Z1, but FCP simply refuses to recognize the Z1
    I'm certain I've got all the settings correct:
    - Camera is set to HDV firewire out
    - capture presets is set to HDV
    - device control preset is set to Sony HDV FireWire
    - sequence preset is set to HDV 1080i50 (I'm in Australia)
    - footage IS HDV 1080i50
    But I keep getting the "Unable to Initialize Capture Device and Device Control" popup. I've tried everything
    - rebooted the camera
    - restarted FCP
    - rebooted the system
    - changed the capture/device control settings in FCP and tried out a regular DV deck to make sure it wasn't the cable
    Nothing has worked.
    I'm on a MBPro I7. No Kona card or anything like that, just trying to capture through firewire.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you,
    Matt
    At present it will capture HDV in IMovie but not FCP 6.0.1
    Message was edited by: Matt Blyth

    Thanks Adrian, since posting the thread I've thought of that too but unfortunately to no avail. From other forums I've read this seems to be a central theme to the solution to my capture woes. I since have sorted the problem it was in Audio/Video Settings.
    In the end I set my Audio/Video Settings to:
    Sequence Preset to: Apple Intermediate Codec 1080i50
    Capture Pre-HDV- Apple intermediate Codec
    Device Control Preset: Sony HDV 1080i50 Firewire
    And hey presto my I'm capturing HD without any problems. Thanks everyone for your suggestions.
