How do I use my HDV camera to capture VCR video into Premiere Elements?

Hello all, I am trying to put VHS video into my computer. I have read that my Canon HV30 can act as an interface between my VCR and my computer. I am supposed to connect my VCR to my HV30 and my HV30 to the computer through firewire. My question is this, how do I connect my VCR to my HV30? Which port on my HV30 is a video input? It has a yellow connection named "AV/(headphones logo)", and one called "component" that looks like a mini firewire port. It also has a red connection named "mic". The other connections are the typical firewire port and such, so it cant be those.? Thanks

I'm not sure if your camcorder can work as a pass-through between your VHS and computer. Fewer and fewer camcorders have this feature.
Is your camcorder able to record input from another video source? That's kind of the test. If you camcorder can record from your VCR then it can likely also serve as a pass-through.
But, sadly, this is one of the features that camcorder manufacturers have stopped including with their cams.

  • How do I use my isight camera live?

    I have a 27 inch Imac. How do I use my Isight camera as a web cam? I have flashplayer 10, but it still won't work. Help?

    Software always operates webcams, so you need to find software applications that does what you want.
    Use your Mac's  > App Store... menu command to search for "webcam"
    (without quotation marks).
    You can also search for other terms like "video chat",  "video conferencing",  "video surveillance", etc.
    If you need other functions, some of the older apps in the list in this link are also still available:
      http://www.ralphjohns.co.uk/EZJim/EZJimpage7.html
    BTW, Flash 10 is out of date for OS X 10.7.2.
      • You can find the latest Flash version that works with you system using this page:
          http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
    If you update, use your Mac's Disk Utility to repair permissions.  Then follow Adobe's instructions here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/908/cpsid_90893.html
    Be sure to uninstall your current Flash player before installing the new one.
    Repair permissions again immediately following installation of the updated Flash player.
      • Be aware that the current Flash Player Preferences can  be configured in your Lion Mac's  > System Preferences...    These settings may be blocking Flash on a system-wide basis.
      •  Individual Flash settings are still configured in the same way as older versions:

  • How to download a DVD movie into Premiere Elements 12 using my MacBook Pro so I can edit the video?

    How to download a DVD movie into Premiere Elements 12 using my MacBook Pro so I can edit the video?

    Bob Perez
    Please review and consider the following which works for me in Premiere Elements 12 Window 64 bit.
    From what you wrote, I suspect that you have DVD-VIDEO widescreen on DVD disc. For now I will assume that you are working in a NTSC setup.
    Premiere Elements DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc is characterized as interlaced video with field order lower (bottom) field first. I am not sure how your DVD-VIDEO on DVD was produced - upper (top) field first or lower (bottom) field first. We may have to apply Field Option Reverse Field Dominance at the Timeline level, but for now let us put that aside for a later time.
    Insert your DVD disc in the DVD burner tray.
    Open Premiere Elements to the Expert workspace and set the project preset manually for NTSC DV Widescreen. How to details for manual project preset setting are found
    ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE11: Accuracy of Automatic Project Preset (New Project Dialog) Setting
    Then, Add Media/DVD camera or Computer Drive/Video Importer.
    The video files from the DVD-VIDEO will be the larger size files and will probably start with VTS_01_1.VOB.
    In the Video Importer designate the save location for video file VOB(s) and select Add to Timeline and hit Get Media
    to put the files on the Timeline for editing.
    If you have more than one DVD disc to "rip", please set up the Video Importer Save In location so that the save in location has a folder for each disc. The fact that all DVDs have the same VTS_01_1.VOB name etc will cause problems if you saved all to the same place as individual files.
    Determine how that works for you in your Mac computer environment. We will be watching for your progress.
    Others may tell you that you need to convert the VOB to another format before import into Premiere Elements. That is no necessary for Premiere Elements.
    Thank you.

  • How can I use mp4 audio files from my iTunes library in an Elements 10 slide show?

    How can I use mp4 audio files from my iTunes library in an Elements 10 slide show?

    AAC is Advanced Audio Coding.  Basically it's a format that sounds better than MP3 but doesn't take up as much space as a lossless format (like you'd have on a CD).  More than likely you've had that encoding turned on when you ripped your music into itunes (it's the default encoder).  Therefore your LG phone won't play them.
    You need to turn off the AAC format by going to the iTunes menu, Preferences, General (at the top), then clicking the "Import Preferences" button.  Change the AAC Encoder to MP3 Encoder.  After that you'll have to make MP3 copies of your songs by right clicking them and selecting "Create MP3 Version."  You'll get a copy of the song that should transfer to your SD card and have MP3 encoding.  Hopefully your phone will play that.

  • How to Fix quality issues with video in Premiere Elements?

    I am uning Premiere Elements 10 on a HP computer with sufficient RAM and an i5 processor.  When I upload footage from my Canon Vixia HF r20, it looks fine using Windows media player to play it back, but after putting it into premiere elements 10 using Full HD AVCHD presets (NTSC), it appears grainly and vertival lines are pixelated.  This has not been a problem in the past when I have used the same camera and presets.  What am I doing wrong?

    You don't say how you're judging the quality -- if you've output the video, if you're watching a DVD or if you're just viewing it in the Monitor.
    Use Share/Computer/Windows Media WMV to ouput a WMV file. How does it look at 100% (not full screen)? Can you post this WMV to Vimeo so we can see it?

  • How can I add media from an external hard drive into Premiere Elements? Please answer.

    Alright, so I have looked all over the website and the way adobe's frequently asked questions about adding media did nothing for me. I am editing a large full length video in premiere elements 13 and so I would like to add media from my external hard drive and edit from that location. Is that possible? Because I do not have enough space on my laptop to keep hundreds and hundreds of GB of videos on my internal hard drive. I have looked on how to add media from the hard drive location and adobe says to add it using the files and folders tab, but when I select it to add it, it says I need to use the Video Importer. So I go to use the video importer and have no way of figuring out how to select my hard drive. Any ideas?

    Spencer WhiteOut
    Thank you for the follow up with the information
    it is a MacBook pro retina . OS X Operating system. External hard drive is connected by the USB cable. fat32.
    It is my understanding, whether you have Premiere Elements on Windows or Mac, if you have files on an external hard drive,  you do not select
    Add Media and head for a choice that includes Video Importer. Instead, you select Add Media/Files and Folders and navigate to the external hard drive to select your file(s) for import into the project.
    But, you seem to be saying that when you do you are met with a message to use the Video Importer. Does the message give you any other related information on why you are being detoured to Video Importer since Video Importer does not import from an external hard drive for me or you. It does for me using Add Media to get the files from my external hard drive into a project.  I am strictly an Elements Windows user, so my Mac information is from what I have read. Based on that...
    1. Please evaluate the format of your external hard drive. Please review the following if you have not considered this point before.
    http://www.cnet.com/how-to/how-to-set-up-an-external-hard-drive-for-use-with-os-x/
    There are many online articles on this matter which would point you away from Fat32 as the format for a external hard drive Mac.
    2. From what you wrote, you are not dealing with a DVD drive so I see no way to implicate one of them in this issue. You are dealing with an
    USB external hard drive and not a USB external DVD/CD drive. Correct?
    Please review and consider.
    We will be watch for further news from you.
    Thank you.

    jusi3404
    What is the file extension of this zipped folder.....zip or 7-Zip or something else?
    If you have a ordinary .zip folder with a .jpeg photo inside it, you should be able to right click the zipped folder, select Extract All from drop down list, and then follow the instructions to get the unzipped folder that you open by double clicking it in order to see and use the photo.
    Also, if this photo was edited in Photoshop and has a CMYK color profile, you will not be able to open it in Premiere Elements (any version).
    Keep away from the Adobe Reader if all that you have is a zipped folder.
    We will be watching for your progress.
    Thanks.

  • The audio of Nvidia Shadowplay records is asynchronus to the video in Premiere Elements 12! How can I fix it?

    Hello,
    today I bought Premiere Elements 12. I want to edit records and export them with Premiere Elements 12. I recognized that the audio is extremely asynchronus to the video. I can't work with that.
    I read that Shadowplay records with 59,34 FPS or so...maybe that is the problem?
    Regards
    David G.

    Wectonic
    What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 12 running on? Have you updated 12 to the 12.1 Update using an opened project's Help Menu/Update? If not, please do so.
    From what I have read about the ShadowPlay recorder, you are probably outputting from it 1080p video with H.264 video compression. What is the file extension?
    Your report of a frame rate of 59.34 frames per second for your video suggests that the recorder is recording with a variable frame rate. Premiere Elements has problems with a variable frame rate - problems could be out of sync audio to not being able to import the file at all.
    As a troubleshooting aid at this point, please import your problem video into HandBrake   https://handbrake.fr/  and export it as a H.264.mp4 file with a constant frame rate of
    59.94 frames per second. It is quick and easy. If you have any problems doing that, I will post a step by step HandBrake how to for the task. Then import this HandBrake converted file into Premiere Elements project and determine if problem is gone.
    Mini Preview
    Also, please let us know the bitrate settings for ShadowPlay for both video and audio. How much of the ShadowPlay recording can be user customized.
    Let us start here and then decide what next.
    Thanks.

  • How to fix speck of dust on video clip; Premiere Elements 9

    Hello
    I have a shot in a video which has a spec of dust on the camera lens.  It's only a short clip but it would be really good if I could clean up the spot.  I've looked across this forum and found a few discussions but as I am new to Premiere Elements and video editing language in general I found them hard to understand!  Have had a go at working it out but a few hours later of tearing my hair out I thought I'd pose my own question and see if someone can help!  I can fix the smear in a still in Photoshop using the 'spot heal' tool, just wish there was some similar way of doing it to video in Premiere Elements.
    If someone can help I would be very grateful, I had lots of problems trying to put a photo here so I've put it on a blog link here:
    http://stellasims.wordpress.com/2014/09/01/still-image-from-pe-9/
    You can see the spot just below his collar.
    Thank you!

    Stellastar80
    Is this the spot
    If so, let us do this....Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 assumed on Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit.
    Highlight the clip on the Timeline.
    Go to Clip Menu/Effects Mask/Apply
    You should then see a bounding box on screen - position that bounding box so that the spot is inside it. Resize the bounding box using one of its
    handles so that it is just large enough to house the spot...no excess.
    Go to Edit Header/Effects/Presets/Blurs/Fast Blur In, select it and then click Apply.
    In Edit Effects, adjust the blur. It can be tricky - often more than a tiny amount does not work.
    Please give it a look and let us know the outcome.
    The following blog post was done with Premiere Elements 11, not 9.0/9.0.1 on Windows 7 64 bit. Probably more than you want, but just in case....

  • How to crop a video in Premiere Elements 13?

    How do I crop a video in Premiere Elements 13?  I see 'pan and zoom.'   And, it retains the aspect ratio automatically, but I don't always need the 'pan' or the 'zoom' -- just want a tight shot on an actresses' sunglasses, which reflect something she is shocked to see.  When I go to help and ask about cropping, it sends me to Photoshop.  Still learning here.

    Seems that it is impossible to crop video frame in 13, all guidelines in Adobe pages or any other lead to versions 12 or older, crop is not anymore in same place. Little odd, very simple and needed tool. FreeSpeechZOne have asked this long time ago and no answer??
