DV Capture with Premier CS4

Getting typical field combing effects when viewing and capturing with premier CS4 capture screen on LCD monitor. Using Sony TRV320 into firewire with a four pin to 6 pin firewire cable. Previously used Premier pro 1.5 on another computer with same camera and 4pin to 4pin cable with no problems. Could the firewire card or cable be causing such problems or might it be premier CS4? Have tried all clip and sequence settings but they don't seem to affect the capture settings.
Thanks.

Thanks Jim for your answers and quick reply. The other computer I have must do something to the frames before sending them to the LCD monitor because there are no combing effects.

  • Sony Handycam HC96 will not capture in Premier CS4

    We have a lot of film on a Sony Handycam DCR-HC96.  Premiere CS4 running on a MAC sees the camera for control purposes, but will not capture video from it.  Since the Handycam only has Firewire 400 output, we are running through a 400 to 800 adapter to get to the Powerbook Pro.  Any ideas why Premiere will not capture video from this camera??  Any idea what settings to try??
    Thanks

    Is the Record button active, or greyed out?
    With some cameras, you have to hit the Record button AND THEN the play button to commence capture.
    Failing that, you could try hitting PLAY on the camera itself, and then try to activate the Record button in the Capture window.

  • Help with Installing Premier CS4

    Pl
    ease, some one with experience on Premier CS4 Help Me in setting this program up
    Over View:
    Windows 7
    I just installed Creative Suite CS4  in place of CS3.  CS4 Installed fine.
    NOW I can NOT edit any clips to Encore and then to burn a DVD. -- OR Export to Tape.
    My camera is a Sony HVR-V1U  High Def which shoots at 1080/60i.  My desktop recorder is a Sony GV-HD700.  I put recorded tapes into this and feed into Premier by firewire connection. All HAS worked fine in CS3.  The Capture window accepts the cameras and recorders under Sony Standard, as no listing is given by a specific name.
    To make Capture work, I must set the input clips as a DV;,...NOT as a HDV.  No HDV setting will allow me to Capuure footage.  Only DV.
         ?????  How can I Capture HDV????
         ????  Am I missing some 3rd party capture card???  Did NOT need one in CS3.
    * To be sure, Please tell me what settings to establish when setting up a NEW edit. or a new project.
    *  I can capture the clips into Premier fine & save as a project...But CS4 will not export to Encore
    *   After edits and rendering and saving, I attempt to Export to Encore to burn DVD's.  ENCORE does NOT appear in the Export window.  I did locate a link to ENCORE via Dynamic lionk in File of the project.  BUT as ENCORE attempts to accept the project, the horizontal rendering bar stops and effort stops.  There is NOT a saved ENCORE folder or project, as was with CS3 in the compute, where Premier established the Encore file in normal process.  (All Encore project files from CS3 are found in My Docs//Larry//Adobe//Premier//3.)
    (Note: I could NOT register and get Adobe help when I purchased this Program because I am involved in environmantal remediation in remote jungles. Just returned to do files and make films of our work.  Adobe refuses to help me as they have for many years as a no cost service upon purchasing a program.)
    Please assist me. I am really stuck on this now.

    Hi Jerry,
    You are VERY kind to reply with help.
    I do still have CS3 and CS 4 installed on 2 computers. 1 with Win 7 and 1
    with XP.  At this moment, I am happ0yt I did not erase CS3 because I have
    "cludged" a way to go forward until a fix for CS4 Encore crasing BOTH
    computers when engaged to burn a DVD from either Premier CS 3 or CS4.
    In fooling around with the software, I have reduced my issues to two:  (1)
    Encore CS4 crashes both computers when sending a Premier project to be
    converted into a DVD.  (2) It seems that a 3rd party software patch or a
    card is necessary to send 1080i into Premier.  Premier at its present
    settings will NOT keep input (capture footage) as 1080i (HDV) and allow to
    be captured.  Must change Capture settings to DV so footage can be input.
    There MUST be a fix for that.

  • Setup capture source Premier Pro CS4

    I am using Vista (64bit) on an HP Pavillion. Just bought licensed version of CS4 and trying to set up the video capture in Premier Pro CS4. I bought a Pinnacle DVC101 converter but the Capture setup will not recognize it. When I go to Settings/Device Control/Options it tells me the unit is "Offline". Does anyone have some suggestions?

    Unfortunately, it won't.  It uses a USB connection and Pr only accepts Firewire connectons (natively) for capture.  Check out the Grass Valley/Canopus ADVC-110 as a possible solution.

  • Moving Final Cut sequence to Premier CS4

    I'm trying to move a final cut project to premier CS4 and then back to Final Cut for finishing. Any advise on the different workflows.

    Hi Kamuz,
    unless it is inevitable I would rather avoid to go back and forth from one application to the other (PP right?), however, when had to do this I used/shared EDLs with a customer.
    Simply export the timeline as EDL and import that into PP.

  • Capturing footage into CS4

    Hi there,
    I am attempting to capture HD footage from my SOny HDR HC5E into Premier CS4 on my mac book pro.
    Each time I capture it, the footage comes up as offline and there is always an error each time I capture it.
    ANy suggestions?
    Cheers

    Ah, of course it was a simple matter of the i link settings on the camera.  Basically I just had to change the 'i link conv' button to 'OFF'.
    As simple as that really

  • Premier CS4 - codec problem?

    I have a DVD-R with several .avi files on it. It was mailed to me for use in a project. I cannot tell you what type of camera or what software they used to burn this dvd. I tried to use the clips in Premier, but they would not work. I can open them in WMP. I'm working in Vista 64 with CS4.
    I went into properties to see what extension and codec was used. Though the extension says .avi, the codec says "MainConcept (Adobe2) MPEG Video Decoder". The size is 640 x 480.
    Can anyone tell me how to convert these .avi files to files that can be read by Adobe Premier CS4? I don't see that codec listed. I read the file on ImTooVideo Converter, but that doesn't seem to list the solution to this particular problem.
    Suggestions?

    Bill - I used Adobe Encoder and it encoded the files to .avi from whatever it actually was. However, it did not encode the audio. I have good quality video with no audio. I tried a couple of times.
    Any idea on how to convert the audio now that the video is done?
    I can't download that Gspot program. The video computer is off line w/no virus protection. I really try not to add anything to that system. It's very touchy - using windows vista 64 etc etc.

  • Where can I download Color Finesse and how I can install them with Premier Pro or After Affect ?

    I recently purchased master collection 5 DVD version. On DVD box I have three serial numbers: Master collection, Ppro/AE CS4 32 Bit and Color Finesse. I used Master collection serial to activate my product. I am having 64 bit os, so I did not use Ppro/AE CS4 32 Bit serial.  My question is about Color Finesse  Serial. I searched about it and found it as an Plug-in for Premiere Pro or After Affect. Now where can I download Color Finesse and how I can install them with Premier Pro or After Affect?

    This serial is only required for the CS4 version. The CS5 version does not require an extra serial. Both versions are installed automatically with the main programs. Nothing more to do.

  • How to use XDCAM files with Premier 4 Trial

    According to everything I have read, using XDCAM files with Premier 4 is easy. It just works. However, it doesn't with me.
    For starters, when I create a new project, there are no XDCAM presets, despite it stating there are in the various documents I have read.
    If I either try to import a file directly or copy it to the hard drive and then import it, I get:
    Error Message
    The importer reported a generic error
    Not very helpful.
    This is a trial version of Premier to try to establish if this product is any good. I did try to contact Adobe but they say they don't support trial users. Not very helpful. Since Adobe are obviously not very interested in selling their products, is there anyone else out there whop can answer this or should I just use Final Cut Pro instead (well if Adobe are not interested in helping a potential customer, what chance is there of being helpful once they have your money???)

    As far as I am concerned, editing XDCAM EX files with CS4 - I have yet to edit XDCAM (HD) files - is as easy as editing DV(CAM) material on my i7 Extreme machine with Vista Ultimate and 12 Gig of RAM.
    I am also pleased to report that the audio bug that beset CS3 when editing XDCAM EX files namely, audio cutting out randomly, is a thing of the past.
    The whole CS4 Suite (including Premiere) has been running very smoothly on my (beefy) machine.

  • Major problems with Premiere CS4

    Hello there!
    I'm having major problems with CS4. I recently bought a new computer - essentials are as follows:
    Intel Core i7 920 2.66GHz
    2 x Kingston 3x2GB, DDR3 1333MHz (=12 GB RAM)
    Ati Radeon HD 5770 v2
    Asus P6T SE, LGA1366, X58, DDR3, ATX
    2 x 500GB, Barracuda 7200.12 (RAID1), system disk
    2 x 1TB Barracuda 7200.12, media disks
    Windows 7 Pro 64 bit
    Adobe CS4 Production Premium + latest updates
    The problem I have has mostly to do with Premiere although I think the rest of Production Premium softwares should be running better on this computer as well.
    For starters, I was highly disappointed when I couldn't view a single HD clip from the Premiere timeline (it was an .m2ts rip from a previously self-burned Bluray disc) at all. Rendering is very slow and even after that the video doesn't run normally, showing just a few individual frames per second. When I point the timeline at a certain spot, it takes many seconds until even that very frame is shown in the monitor window.
    And this is not all - I decided to try with a basic DV AVI clip, previously captured with my PPro 1.5 on my earlier computer (3.2ghz Pentium from 2005). It's a native file so it doesn't even need rendering and still the same problem occurs. With normal playback only about 6-10 frames are shown per second. It's absolutely ridiculous - even my 2004 laptop runs DV AVIs more smoothly with PPro 1.5.
    While I'm running the Premiere, the level of used RAM comes only up to around 24 percents. The processor, then again, comes close to a hundred when play is pressed on the timeline.
    I haven't had such immense problems with other Production Premium softwares (though as I said, I think they should be running faster as well). Otherwise the computer is running smoothly.
    A friend of mine pointed out that the graphics card I'm using isn't on the Adobe website's list of supported ones with Premiere, but afaik it shouldn't even be a graphics card problem with this high-end machinery.
    So - I sure could use some help and ideas about how to get the Premiere working. My main intention for buying a new computer and Adobe CS4 Production Premium was to start HD editing after all! Thanks beforehand!

    Hi
    Yeah, I hope he solves problem and knows how it got solved and tells us all...it's like being a detective !  " Mr Plum did it in the "svchost" room ! "
    I got a little lost on this....
    You are welcome and I'm glad that it paid off so nicely for you. One more  suggestion, if I may: I'm a big fan of a fixed pagefile size. When making a  fresh install of Windows, one of my first actions is to set a fixed pagefile on  a different disk (min=max) before installing anything else on that different  disk and removing the pagefile on the C drive. This will ensure that the  pagefile in on the fastest part of the drive and will never be  fragmented.
    I think it used to be that I made swapfiles, or swapdisks which now seems to be called pagefile.  That in itself is a little confusing semantic wise, because of the use of mempage stuff.  It used to be that base memory was 640k, with the upper memory (to make up 1024 kb) was mostly for drivers and stuff.  If more memory was needed than 640k (an event the inventor never thought possible...  "who could want more than the enormous amount of 640K ?", he said..)..the extended and expanded memory got invented to swap memory pages from that 640k as needed with the rest of RAM.  That's basically correct right ?  Sooooo, I don't know if that still goes on, but I suspect it does, unless someone totally changes the architecture of the computer and cpu and fsb and everything...  but I don't know what is going on nowadays.  Anyway, there were other ways besides windows OS to create virtual memory on the hard drive, and Photoshop was one of the programs that could do that, I think.
    Why MS would want to call the swapdisk virtual memory "pagefile" is beyond me.
    Anyway, be that as it may, I understand that making the pagefile first on a drive so it's close to the center of the drive (heads don't have to travel far to access).  But I haven't added a lot of drives to a system before, and I suspect I will be pretty soon...and this is the part I don't get...
    You add drives and put OS on them?  So they are bootable ?  I've added a drive or two but just formatted and used as more storage but didn't put OS on them.  So that part is confusing...
    Then you take the pagefile off the C: drive ?  Are you then using the new drive as your boot drive and the C: drive is too full to use accept to run the programs already installed ?
    Thanks again !

  • RAM issues/questions with Bridge CS4

    Hi,
    I've become a little perplexed with Bridge CS4.  I constantly get an "out of memory" error with bridge when working with many large files (21 megapixels) through adobe camera raw, despite having a bullet proof system.  First, some system specs:
    Vista 64-bit
    Intel i7 3.2GHz processor
    12 Gb of 1600Mhz RAM
    Dedicated separate scratch disc
    This computer just freakin rips!
    So photoshop (the 64 bit version) just runs like a breeze, despite vista being its stupid self and taking up about 1.6 gigs of ram just for the OS.  However, I am mainly wondering that if Bridge isn't a 64 bit program (it is installed in the x86 program files. Only photoshop is installed in the 64-bit program files) then maybe it can't utilize the extra ram over 4 gigs?  If so, then it is severely crippled and limited to the 4 gig ceiling shared with the RAM thirsty OS.
    Does anyone actually know and have any answers?  I know the "out of memory" error has long been discussed but never seems to come to some solid conclusions.  And really, there is no reason why bridge should be out of memory on a 12 gig system with 9 of those just sitting free when it say its supposedly "out of memory".
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    If I remember correctly the window's paging file is set to a discrete size, believe recomended 1.5 x ram size.  If Bridge is running in 32 bit mode guess you only need 6 gig paging file, but would more do anything?  How large is it, is it on a seperate partition?  Also consider this:
    If a paging file resides on a partition that contains other data, it  may experience fragmentation as it expands to satisfy the extra virtual memory that is required. An unfragmented paging file leads to faster virtual memory  access and to a greater chance of a dump-file capture that is free of significant errors.
    Is fragmentation a consideration?

  • Video capture with Canon HF10 and Vista 64

    I cannot get Premier Elements 7 to capture videos from my Canon HF 10 camera.
    I am using Window Vista 64, Premier Elements 7 that I just installed, and a Canon Vixia HF 10 video camera.
    The computer will identify the camera. I can import video using the Pixela ImageMixer software that came with the camera. And, I can capture the video into Premier Elements 7 once I have the video clip as a file on the computer.
    Obviously, I would prefer to just directly capture the video with Premier Elements 7.
    Does anyone have a suggestion how to resolve the problem?

    Ted,
    Welcome to the forum.
    Now, I could not find your camera on the CanonUSA site. Is it a UK/European model? Looking at the US models with similar #'s, it appears that the only connection offered is USB 2.0. Is that correct?
    If so, there will be one major problem. With a rare exception, PrE will only Capture via FireWire. If this camera does not have FireWire, then one must use other means to get the files onto the computer, and then into PrE. That is why it has been recommended that one use the included software to transfer the image files. This is an unfortunate fact of life. As the USB 2.0 connection is horribly slow, even on the fastest of computers, there will be the problem of how long this will take.
    The decision to not include FW was one made my Canon. Many manufacturers are making the same decision, as it keeps costs down on their consumer cameras. It does not help the user, however, if they really wish to edit the footage. What would be a one-step process with a miniDV tape camera w/ FW is now at least a two-step process and a slow one at that.
    There is likely not going to be any cure from Adobe's end, unless they rework the Capture module, or add a second USB one, and that will not be until PrE 8, if even then. [This is my prediction and not from any knowledge of Adobe's plans.]
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • Strange Problem capturing with Apple Intermediate Codec

    We have the following problem:
    We capture with a blackmagic decklink studio card (but I could reproduce the same problem using a MacBook Pro and the internal camera) with a MacPro and CS4. When capturing a live video feed (1280x720) with the apple intermediate codec (set to 29.97fps or to 59.94fps) everything seems to work just fine. But the resulting videoclips happen to be exactly ONE half of the total capture time. So if we capture in Premiere for about 1 our the clip is only 30 minutes long. If we capture for 10 sec., the clip will be 5 sec. long. It's not that the captured clips play with double the framerate. Half of the actual footage is missing.
    Any suggestions?
    By the way: we live in a PAL50Hz country, but our video signal that needs to be recorded comes in as a 60hz signal.

    Hi,
    Well I did some googling...and I would bet that the problem is the 50hz vs 60hz...
    Unfortunately most if not all info I got that even BRUSHES on this subject with the sort of material you're dealing with is the opposite....where they are in 60cycle land with pal stuff....rather than in pal land dealing with 60hz ...
    This is a lot of misc stuff but if you get a little bit of info from various posts and make some notes you might be able to get an idea how to solve the problem...
    In particular I was looking at how frames are flagged and new frames are created later ...( toward very end of these posts - the last four or so )
    Also noted some timecode reading that was "doubled"....so if your deck thought you had a specific length and then it read the timecode doubled, it would be your problem in a nutshell...  have you checked the last frame you captured and compare that timecode to the overall length ??
    anyway, here is a TON of stuff to breeze through...good luck...
    THIS IS EDIUS RELATED..so keep in mind re: specific presets etc

    Hi chaps,
    Can I just confirm that the SDI/HDMI outputs are only live in build 14? I'm on 13 and going SDI - HDLINK - DELL24" gives me nothing. I'm in PAL land so have tried switching between 50hz and 59hz in camera.
    So do I need build 14 or is it something else?
    Cheers

    I'm in NTSC land but that same setup gives me picture just fine. Which Dell model is it? Is everything set up right from the camera side?

    Hi Steve,
    I believe so. Set to Preview in th viewfinder settings, plugged in on preview mini sdi, cam set to 50hz..
    Anything I'm missing?
    Cheers
    To counter this, the AJ-HD1400 offers two modes specifically for this called '25(SD)' and '25(HD)'. They output the 25fps signal with new timecode on a 50Hz carrier (only over SDI/Analogue the Firewire doesn't work in that mode).
    It only works with 25fps material too, any other 'offspeed' rate has to be dealt with separately with the deck operating in 59/60 mode.
    When operating in either of these 25 modes, the deck generates new 25fps timecode from the tape (although our tests have indicated that it is frame accurate of multiple playback passes).
    Basically, Varicam, while a very nice idea, has only ever been properly designed to work in a 60Hz environment. It is pretty much a nightmare in 50Hz environments.
    I think I may have found the cause of the problem.
    For some reason when I started my project it had a Device Control profile set to 720p50 (rather than the 1080i50 that the deck is operating in).
    What this seems to have done is double the frame number on any clip it encountered. So if I took a clip with in marked at 01:02:40:22 and dropped it in the Log and Capture tool the In Point that FCP decided to look for was 01:02:40:44 (which isn't going to exist on a 25fps timecode obviously).
    Since you are using Pal
    Go :
    Generic OHCI HD 50hz -> 960x720 25p over 60p
    Because if I am right you can't do Pal over 60hz but you can do PAL over 60P at 50hz.
    ( but I could be wrong)
    But the other problem is that you are using an ntsc profile to capture pal recorded footage.
    50 hz 960x720 over 60P yields a frame rate of 25 progressive
    60 hz 960x720 59.94p yields a frame rate of 59.94 progressive which is far from your original footage . Mostly used for countries using natively ntsc
    Neither myself, nor Ricksta (I don't think) are using NTSC-rate profiles.
    The Preset setting I've been testing with is:
    Generic OHCI HD 50Hz 960x720 25p over 60p
    Indeed, I've just tried what Rick mentioned, and with the deck in 59.94Hz operating frequency, I can capture with all three 720p 59/60 input settings. This is technically wrong however, as the tape has been recorded at 60Hz. But like I said before, until Rick hears from the big geeks at Panasonic about this, I don't know what the real outcome of that difference in frequency is.
    I've also tried a 50p over 60p project setting (as 720p50 is what I will be editing with in Avid) - but, predictably, this works but gives me double-speed footage. Which, while amusing, isn't a lot of help for me
    A large part of the problem I'm facing here is to do with the Varicam format. It will record any framerate from 1-60fps. It has to operate and a system-frequency of 59.94Hz or 60Hz. That is what Rick and I are referring to. The limitation I face is that the Varicam format is not widely supported for PAL-based rates (25/50) as it requires communication with a deck operating in an NTSC-based system frequency (either 60Hz or 59.94Hz). This difference (between project/timeline framerates, and deck operating frequencies) is enough to ensure that IEEE1394/Firewire/OHCI capture is not possible in these modes in Final Cut Pro, Avid (any version) or any other NLE I have found.
    We realise that the framerate and frequency we're working in has to be 50-based, and we're not making any mistakes in that respect.
    So far Edius is the only NLE on the market, that I have been able to find, that supports Firewire capture from 60Hz DVCPro HD material in a 50Hz based framerate.
    When you have captured the file in that project select a clip in the bin press alt+enter go to video info and tell me what the framerate is .
    In a 50p over 60p project, when I capture footage shot 25p over 60 with the 'Constant Rate' capture profile I get a clip in the bin that is 50fps, but that plays at doubletime - which is what I'd expect.
    I can change the framerate in the properties to 50fps, and it plays at the correct rate, but I'm not happy with the way to refactors the timing in that mode. It seems to create interpolated frames to fill the gaps, which provide an unusual appearance that I don't really like.
    At present if I capture into 25p over 60p project, then import the resulting 25p footage into Avid, Avid doubles up the frames to produce 50fps material.
    Some clarification here. The Varicam does indeed record at a constant 60fps. If the frame rate is set to 25fps for example it simply flags the active frames. This flag is carried in the vertical interval data. The reason for this system, is as suggested, it is very difficult to vary the speed of tape in a helical scan recording system. With the advent of solid state recording that Panasonic introduced in the AG-HVX200 it is now possible of course to only record the active (native) frames and this would be called 25pn for example.
    Originally with the Varicam you used to use a device called a Frame Rate Converter. This box contained a hard drive with HD-SDI I/O. It would recognize the active "flagged" frames in the incoming signal and buffer them through the hard drive and then play them out at the correct frame rate.
    More recently NLE's such as Avid, FCP and Edius have incorporated this flagged frame recognition and perform the extraction automatically. Thus when I tested a 25fps Varicam ingest on a 25 Frame timeline I am getting realtime playback. If I had recorded at 50fps and I placed that on a 25 frame timeline I would have very smooth half speed. Also the newer DVCPRO HD decks such as the AJ-HD1700 and AJ-HD1400 have the ability to decode "on-speed" frame rates such as 30fps, 25fps and 24fps.
    The issue that Dylan is facing is that the NLE's will not accept a firewire input at 60Hz, they only accept it at 59.94, this is a .001 frequency difference and should be negligible. The other alternative is to ingest via HD-SDI via a Black Magic or AJA Kona card etc. These boards also support the variable frame rate function.
    I hope that this helps clear things up a little.

    Further to what Rick is saying... The issues with most NLEs for PAL users is the disparity between the 59.94/60Hz operating frequency of the deck and the 50Hz based framerates the applications are working with in PAL framerates.
    As for the constant 60fps - it is indeed recording 60 images per second to a tape, but as I said before, only a certain number are unique - only the flagged frames. In 25fps, the camera samples the sensor 25 times a second and records that frame to tape. Essentially you get frame 1 recorded for 2 frames, frame 2 recorded for the next three frames, frame 3 recorded for 2 frames, etc... The first frame with each unique image is 'flagged'. To rebuild the recorded framerate, only the flagged images are captured.
    The big bonus of Edius for me here is that it can capture the PAL framerates from the 59.94Hz deck over Firewire directly. Something that Avid and FCP are unable to do.
