Need assitance with a new issue when capturing video from DV camera.

Recently went back to capture some footage from my Panasonic DVX100B to put together an outtakes reel from a previous project.  When I went to capture, there was pixelation when objects move and distortion around fine details.  None of this occured when I worked on the original project a few eeeks ago.  It is has the same settings in PE8 as the previous project.  The severity of the problem improved slightly when I rebooted everything, but they still exist.  I've updated all drivers on my PC (Win 7, i3 Core).  I just can't seem to fix this problem.  If anyone has any suggestions I would greatly appreciate it.

What so often happens with a video driver is that a simple OS update, or hot-fix, can render it obsolete. For most programs, there is not the type of interface that one sees with an editing program, like PrE. This gives one a false sense of security, as simple players and other programs work, but the NLE program does not. This is why we always look to a video driver update very early on, when one has a display issue. The embedded Intel chips seldom get driver updates, which is a shame. Same thing happens with some of the proprietary drivers, like for Toshiba laptops. No new drivers ever appear, leaving the user stranded with bad video in their NLE.
Glad that you got it sorted out. Intel makes great chips, but I would never use an embedded graphics chip, due to the lack of driver support.
Good luck,
Hunt

  • I cannot get CS6 to recognize my Sony DCR-TRV340 camera for capturing video from that camera.  CS6 c

    I cannot get CS6 to recognize my Sony DCR-TRV340 camera for capturing video from that camera.  The CS6 capture box keeps putting up a message that capture device is off line.  The Sony DCR-TRV340 camera is not listed in the CS6 Device Type  list in the CS6 DV/HDV device control settings box of Sony cameras.  I've downloaded what I think are the correct drivers for the TRV340, and when I plug the camera into the computer, the computer shows it listed in the devices and printers box, but CS6 will not recognize it.  Do I need to install these drivers into a specific folder in the CS6 program?  If so, where do I find these drivers in the windows 7 professional operating system, and into which CS6 file folder would I copy them to?

    Most camera's are not listed in Device controle, set it to Sony and generic. Yours is very old its a Digital 8 camera (I still got a TRV210). Johns second link wont work with your camera.
    You do not need to download drivers nor do you need to install anything. Most likely its the Legacy driver.
    Read though this document.

    General rule is connect camera to pc wait until windows reconigzes the camera.
    Fire up Premiere and capture.
    Never connect the camera to pc when the camera is on.

  • Selecting microphone when capturing video from the webcam

    Using Final Cut Pro X
    I want to capture video from my webcam into Final Cut.  I have a USB microphone (Yeti) with which I want to record the audio.  I cannot find an option to select my input source for audio when capturing this footage.  Final Cut seems to default to my microphone on my webcam, which causes echoing and noise. I can select the USB mic when doing a voiceover, but when I capture video I cannot find an option to select my input.  I've made my USB mic my default device in Sys Prefs, but that doesn't work.  Any other ideas?
    Options
    1.  Figure out how to change the default input for webcam capture in Final Cut
    OR
    2.  Use another program.  I've also tried to do the same in both QuickTime and iMovie, and they both capture audio only from the webcam as well.
    Everything I've found online talks about voiceover.  I don't want that.  I want to capture video with it.
    Suggestions are appreciated.  Thank you.

    Thanks.  Don't know why I didn't see it.  That arrow is pretty small.
    I do still have an issue that I cannot figure out.  I'm using the same mic for webcam recording (now in QT thanks to Luis) and in Final Cut for voiceovers.  Though I'm still on the same Mic the sound is not the same.  It's close, but the sound on the voiceover sounds cleaner and clearer.  I'm sitting in the same spot speaking the same way, but the sound quality difference is noticable.  Not sure why.
    It seems that the difference is in how each software deals with it.
    It may be that QT is sampling audio differently from FCP X somehow, or using a different audio codec or whatever.
    Just guessing, I really have no concrete knowledge.
    Oh, wait: there are a few things that I can notice, after trying a small example: the QT audio is AAC at 44.1 KHz,
    the FCP X is AIFF at 48KHz. Compression and sample rate are different.

  • Capturing Video from a Camera that only has a USB port

    I have read a number of posts from people who have been frustrated because they can not 'capture' video from a video camera that only has a USB port on it.  Unfortunately, Premier wants to see a Firewire connection; otherwise, it won't connect to a camera.   However, it is still very easy to import your video clips from such a camera into Premier Pro:
    1. Turn on your video camera and connect it to your computer via the USB connections.
    2. In Premier, go to the Media Browser.
    3. In the Media Browser, you will see all the drives on your computer. Amongst those drives will be a drive that was created for your camera. (It will be identified as X: (Removable).  Double click on that drive and you will see all your recorded video clips in the column just to the right.
    4. Highlight any/all clips that you want to import. Then, simply drag those clips/files up into your Project Organizer (normally, in the upper left corner of the page)
    That's it.
    You'll probably find this method of importing your clips/files off of your camera easier than if you did have a Firewire and utilized the 'Capture' function.

    And a bigger problem will be that that camera (with its card or HDD) will have to be connected, whenever one wishes to edit, and it cannot be overwritten to).
    As has been mentioned, the Project file does NOT contain any Assets, with the exception of Titles created in PrPro's Titler. This ARTICLE will give a bit more background on what is in the Project file, plus a bit more.
    The same sort of problem can arise if one Imports a VOB from a DVD-Video disc, without Copying the VOB's over to the HDD. First, that DVD must be inserted for each editing session, and things will be horribly slow.
    Good luck,

  • Need help with optimizing text appearance when exporting video

    Here's what I'm trying to do:
    1. Convert a Powerpoint presentation to an MP4 (AVC) file, frame rate 30 (actually defaults to 29.97) and video bit rate of 1200kbps,using Wondershare PPT2VideoPro.  (There are no actual video clips contained in the original PPT file).
    2. Import the newly created MP4 video into a new project in Premeire Elements.
    3. Add audio files (WAV) created by Audacity.
    4. Export the final product as a video.
    Here's the problem:
    The text quality in the final exported film is very poor, and the screen occasionally seems to sublty flicker once and a while.  I've tried multiple different settings, but all with the same result.
    Can anyone offer suggestions on optimal settings for exporting the final product such that the text is as clear as possible?  (The text in the MP4 file created by Wondershare looks great.)
    Thanks!
    - Ernest

    One option would be to create the Text Images in Photoshop, and Save_As a PSD.
    For large sets of Titles, I do the text portion in Word/WordPerfect, so I can use Spell-Check. Then in PS, I just Copy/Paste the text into an Image, where I apply all of the PS Styles that I need. Because I use PrPro for most of my NLE work, I will often do the Titles with Layered Text, and Import those as a Sequence, so that the Layers are not Flattened. This allows me to independently animate each Layer, as I need. Unfortunately, PrE does not allow one to Import the Layered PSD's, Unflattened, as it does not have Sequences.
    Also note that PrE's Titler's Styles are just a starting point. Once applied, one can alter most aspects, and when they are satisfied with the changes, they can then Save the new Style and re-use it over and over. Do not forget the ability to modify those Styles.
    From PowerPoint, and this depends on the version, the best that one can usually do is to Export each "slide" as a TIFF, and Import those into the NLE program.
    Good luck,

  • Premiere CS6 Hangs when Importing Video from P2 Camera

    I just bought Premiere CS6.  I am a Final Cut Pro refugee, running Mac OS Snow Leopard.
    So far (day 1) I am having three serious problems, one major, one less so, and one intermediary.
    First, when I try to import video off my P2 camera using the Media Browser, Premiere hangs.  When I force quit, a dialog box briefly pops up saying that a "serious error" has occured.  If I can't load my video into Premiere, this is a serious problem.
    Is this a known issue?
    Second, when I view the contents of my P2 card in the media browser, the order of the clips is totally jumbled.
    If I can get the media browser import function to work, is there a way to view the clips in the order in which they were shot?
    Third, I tried to "ingest" my clips through Prelude, which just copied the whole arcane folder structure of the P2 card onto my local hard disk.  I could do this in the Mac OS Desktop and I really don't see the point of Prelude.  I would rather not navigate the arcane P2 folder structure, and I need something that will take my video out of Panasonic's .mxf wrapper file.
    I've noticed that I can drag the .mxf files directly into Premiere, but is there a way to import my video that will also extract the files from the .mxf wrapper, so that I can also open the files in other software?
    I downloaded the Premiere CS6 updater but it didn't help.
    Together, these issues represent serious defects that cripple my ability to use this software.

    Im have the exact same issue with the importing or P2 files and premere crashing/ hagingup, i on the other hand have been using adobe for over 4 years and never had this issue, i still have CS5 on comp and there are no problems there, kinda silly i cant use CS6 for work....
    so what did you exactly do to fix issue??
    also i know exactly what porblem u are running into with the aspect ratio problems, been an issue for as long as i have been working with adobe premere and HVX, and i can help u there, simply dont use DVCproHD sequence if you are going to DVD just do a DV widscreen sequence and all the ratio problems will fix when u go to encore. or use DVCproHD sequence but drop the entire sequence you worked on into a DV widscreen sequence or an HDV sequence and resize acordingly (make lager or smaler so fits properly in 16/9) the problem is some of the P2 cameras are not a true 16/9 there like 15/9 or somthing, its odd, anyway thats what i do, it doesnt really ad much time and it workes
    Dear adobe plp if you read this, then you know about problem importing, whatever he did dosnt seem like you should have to do that... any questions feel free to contact me.

  • Capture Video from Panasonic AG-HMC40

    I am having trouble capturing video from my camera - Panasonic AG-HMC40 HD camera
    I keep getting a message:  Capture Device Offline.
    I am able to capture from iMovie and Final Cut X....
    Does anyone know the correct capture settings?

    You don't have to capture. You ingest.
    IE: Copy files from your camera memory card onto your hard drive using the media browser.
    See extract from Adobe Help below:
    Import assets from file-based sources with Media Browser
    You can import assets into Premiere Pro directly from tapeless media. However, it is more efficient to transfer tapeless media contents to a hard disk before importing. Also, playback performance is much better from a dedicated internal hard drive or RAID than from a camera or memory card reader.
    Use the Media Browser, instead of File > Import, to import files from tapeless sources. The Media Browser assembles the relevant files into coherent clips, and does not import irrelevant non-media files sometimes found in the folders of tapeless media.
    (Optional) Transfer the entire contents of one or more P2 cards, Sony Compact Flash cards, XDCAM media, XDCAM EX SxS cards, hard disk camcorders, DVDs, or AVCHD media to a hard disk. For information about transferring these media, see About transferring files.
    Note:  For XDCAM EX, copy the entire BPAV folder and its contents, not just one MP4 file at a time. 
    If the Media Browser is not already open, select Window > Media Browser. Note:  You can dock or group the Media Browser like any other panel in Premiere Pro.
    Browse to the folder containing the media files. The Media Browser shows a thumbnail or icon (depending on the format) and shot name for each shot in the folder. The Media Browser automatically aggregates spanned clips and shot metadata from the subfolders into single clips for any of these formats. The Media Browser shows different sets of metadata for different formats.
    (Optional) To preview a shot before importing it, double-click the shot in the Media Browser.  Premiere Pro plays the clip in the Source Monitor without importing it into the Project panel.
    Either select File > Import From Browser, drag clips from the Media Browser into the Project panel, or drag clips from the Media Browser into a timeline.
    The asset or assets are imported into the Project panel as whole clips.

    Goods delivered to you for personal or business use (not for resale) in Pennsylvania are subject to Pennsylvania state sales tax.
    If you are exempt from Pennsylvania state sales tax, or are a Not-for-profit corporation and have a DBA certificate in Pennsylvania, you may be able to buy tax-free. I doubt this.
    If you have the goods delivered to your address in Oregon, and there is no state sales tax in Oregon, you would not have to pay state sales tax.
    Since Apple does business in all 50 states, they are also obligated to charge you sales tax (for the state where the goods are delivered) when you buy from the Apple Online store.
