Need help capturing Video

Every time I try to capture video from my cancorder i receive this error message after a couple minutes.
"Premiere Elements has encountered an error.
[..\..\Src\PathUtils.cpp-178]
Can anyome help?

That was my first request.  I'll try to be more detailed.  I'm  using a
Dell XPS 410 with two 500 gig internal hard drives and one external 500  gig
hard drive.  Intel (R) Core (TM) 2 CPU, 6700 @ 2.66 GHz, 4.00 GB Ram  & N
Vidia GeForce 7900 GS.  I'm trying to download from  a Sony  Handicam Mini DV,
DCR-PC330 NTSC, using Premiere Elements, Version 9.00.   During the middle of
capture, elements quits working and I get the error message  " Premiere
Elements has encountered an error.  ".  Obviously
nothing is downloaded to the  computer and the scenes are not split on the
timeline.  Can anyone  help?

  • What is needed to capture video in Premiere Pro

    To capture video in premiere, do you need to have either a camcorder with Firewire (I believe this is what the user guide states) or can you use a camcorder with a USB port...and in either case do you need to have a video capture card?
    At this point, I think that if I have a camcorder that is non IEEE firewire, that uses a USB port, then I need to have a video capture card...is this correct?
    And if it is, can anyone recommend a video capture card that works with a PC (not a MAC).
    Thanks
    JK

    Premiere Pro is designed for professional editors, and can be daunting to the untrained.  Given that you ask these questions, it seems pretty obvious you're not yet trained.  In which case I strongly recommend becoming a professionally trained editor before using Premiere Pro.
    For the amateur crowd, there are consumer editors out there which will be easier to work with.

  • Need Help Importing Video Files Into Premiere Pro 1.5

    Hello,
    I recently bought a JVC Everio with the built in hard drive so need for capturing anymore. Anyway, when I went to import the footage that I recorded on the camera, Premiere says "File Format Not Supported". When I dragged the clips off of the JVC's harddrive each clip had two files one type was a .MOI and the other type of clip said MOV and the clip number like MOV042 for clip number 42. Do I need some type of video converter to open these in Premiere? I can't even import them in Windows Movie Maker, they don't need to be great quality or anything just some music performance clips I wanted to throw on Youtube. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Jason

    After my "learning session," I also thought of another resource for you. Besides the PE forum (in the old days, I know that they had a FAQ on the JVC files, but I do not think that it has been restored yet), you might want to post to the "Community" area, basically their fora, over at Muvipix. I know that there has been much discussion on the JVC files there, and believe that several forum members use those cameras. Might be some easy steps to convert your files so that PrPro can use them properly.
    Good luck,

  • Need help with videos!!! Please

    i need help! i have a 30G ipod video and my videos are being weird. They used to play on my ipod but now there is no picture or sound. it plays on itunes too so i dont understand. Also, my purchased music plays on itunes but skips past them on my ipod-they used to play on my ipod. PLEASE help me!

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    For Videos:
    So what are they doing? Are the videos showing up under "Videos" on the iPod? What happens when you try to play them? Have you tried these?
    Resetting iPod
    Restore the iPod
    For Purchased Music Skipping:
    Have you played the songs in iTunes for a few seconds? This will authorize them. Now sync your iPod. Do they play?
    If not, make sure everything is up to date on your computer and iPod..
    iTunes
    iPod Updater
    Updating iPod's Software
    If that doesn't work, in iTunes, go to advanced-->deauthorize computer. Now play the songs in iTunes. It will ask for your account information (from the iTunes Music Store). Enter that. Now play a few purchased songs for a few seconds. Sync your iPod. Do the songs work now?
    If they don't, try this...
    Deauthorize the computer. (Go to advanced-->deauthorize computer in iTunes)
    Create a new user in the system. (Start-->control panel-->user accounts-->create a new account)
    Download the free song of the week in the new user account. (First, log out of the current user and log in to the new user account. Then open iTunes and download the free song)
    Play the song in that username to authorize it.
    Restore the iPod in the New User account, sync just the Free song of the Week and see if it plays on the iPod.
    If it plays fine on the iPod when syncing with this user name (after you followed the above instructions), it would indicate a bad iTunes Library File. Post back for instructions on how to fix that.
    Now, if it still won't work (you followed the above instructions with the new user account) and the iPod still won't play the songs, then post back.

    I have tried alot please help and specific as possible. Somewhat a newbe when it comes to the tech side. Thanks.

    Where do you have your Scratch Disk set up? If you only have one hard drive, then it would be that drive, which is also the system drive (drive with operating system). If that is the case, you may or may not have problems with using your system drive as your Scratch Disk, but it is highly-recommended to use a secondary disk for your scratch/media drive.

  • Need help fixing video playback on iTunes and worried it will affect iphone

    First of all, the black levels when playing videos on iTunes looked terrible.
    I looked all over on how to fix this..
    So then I installed the lastest nvidia graphics drivers to help with video playback
    After install my videos black level was definatly better, I think.
    But now all videos play wierdly in the corner of the itunes program..

    I need help to fix this and I hope this dont affect playback on iphone 4

    If exporting to i4 results in the same, there could be a problem with the movie itself. Try exporting to the i4 and replay the video. However if exporting to i4 plays okay on the phone, it's your Nvidia drivers. You can download the prior Nvidia drivers and downgrade.
    There have been dozens of cases where Nvidia drivers even the newest ones have made a mess of games, movie playbacks, even viewing Windows programs.

  • I need help with videos?

    I need help. I have a video in my library AND iPod. The problem is - the video PLAYS when I click it on iTunes, but when I try to play it on my video iPod, all it does is let me hear what they're saying, it doesn't show the video. Can somebody help me?

    Hey, what is the link to downloading Videora? Ivé tried downloading it but it doesn't work. The program does not open after installing it. I get some sort of error message. I clicked on the Full Install one when downloading it.

  • Need help exporting video

    (I have Premiere Pro CS4 and I'm pretty new to it)
    All my videos are 640 by 480 AVI files and the frame rate is 30fps. What are the best settings to export these videos at?
    For some reason when I set the dimensions at the beginning to 640 to 480, and then I set the Pixel Aspect Ratio to "Square Pixels" because that is the only setting that will give me a 4:3 ratio, which is what I need since the videos are 640 by 480. But when I go to 'Export', the dimensions have been changed to 720 by 480, and I can't change the settings. What should I do? (I'm trying to save them as AVI)

    Can you give us the full details of these AVI files. If you do not have that, the great, free utility, G-SPOT will give it to you.
    You will want to set your Project/Sequence to that. If necessary, choose Desktop for the Preset and then fill in all of the attributes to match your source footage.
    What do you wish to Export to?
    What is your delivery scheme?
    That will determine your Export settings in AME. You will need to choose a Preset that matches that. You have probably chosen a DV Preset.
    Good luck,

  • Need to capture video clip from local news story site.

    Does anyone know of a way to capture video clip from an online source for adding to iMovie.
    The clip I would like to get is a piece done locally and added to a local news site.
    Harold

    Video on the web can be in many forms - most of which aren't easy to download.
    What I do, is use SnapzProX from http://www.ambrosiasw.com/utilities/snapzprox/
    This lets you capture video (and audio) from your computer screen.
    I have seen FLVR mentioned as a way to capture Flash video, but haven't tried it yet. ( http://www.tastyapps.com )
    To get the best quality, you can probably buy a tape of the clip from the station at a 'reasonable' price.

  • Need Help Converting Video

    Hello - I have a couple of separate questions that I need help with.  I know basic FCP.  I have FCP7.  I recently shot a wedding with 2 different cameras.  Both are HiDef Cameras.  1 Camera is a Prosumer Camera where the files were taking off the camera and imported by Final Cut.  The second is a new, home camcorder which saved the files into a hard drive in MPEG 4 format.
    I need to marry the two.  I can import the all the files (from both cameras) directly into the timeline.  But the ones from the camcorder (the mpeg4s) seem to have that "hitchy" feel to them when I play them back.  Also, both types of files (even the ones that were directly imported into Final Cut from the Prosumer Camera) have the "render" lines when they are in the timeline, so I constantly have to render which takes forever. 
    The files that were imported directly into FCP from the ProSumer camera were imported on a different computer with a different version of FCP, so when I drag them into my timeline it tells me that they were from a different version and asks me if I want to update for my version.  If I click YES then it stretches the files from 16:9 to 4:3.  If I say NO then it keeps the 16:9 aspect ratio, but adds yet another layer of render I need to do.
    Normally I do simple, Standard Def edits where I import things into the timeline via FCP7 with firewire from a deck and edit directly from there, then firewire back to the deck.  Simple - no rendering, etc.  My questions are as follows:
    1 - Do I need to reset my timeline settings because I am now working with HiDef?  Or does FCP automatically know that it is HD and it doesnt matter how I drag it into the timeline?
    2 - Do I need to convert the MPEG 4 files to quicktime format, or does it not make a difference
    3 - When I export, what settings would I use to keep it in HiDef.  I am only going to make DVDs with it.
    4 - Is there a way to do it so that I do not have to render constantly while editing
    5 - To view, I am firewiring out to a deck which is then going into a Standard Def monitor.  Is that the reason the footage appears "hitchy"?
    Any help is greatly appreciated.  If you have any help, please drop me a note at [email protected]
    Thanks

    YOu need to learn how to use FCP.  Sorry, no offense needed, and I know it sounds harsh. But from reading that I can tell you have no idea about how to properly import tapeless media into FCP...and don't know what formats FCP works with...nor know what formats the cameras record.  This is all basic stuff you need to know before you edit.  Editing isn't only creative, but lately highly technical as well...you need to know what your software is capable of doing, and how to get the footage into it properly. 
    You cannot do what you did...directly drag from the cameras into FCP.  No...it needs to be imported, typically with LOG AND TRANSFER...and converted from the shooting format, which typically isn't natively editable in FCP (want native, use Adobe Premiere...).  It needs to be converted to ProRes.  And yes, the file sizes of ProRes are a LOT bigger than the camera originals.  4-5 times larger.  That's how FCP works.
    Here's a quick tutorial to get you started.  But then I suggest getting to know the editing system better.

  • FCP Novice needs help with video quality and FCP 5!!

    Hi,
    I have a real problme that I cannot seem to fix. I think its because I am doing something really wrong!
    I have a Sony HC42E MiniDV Camcorder which by default records video in full widescreen. I recorded several tapes this way and have now begun trying to edit them in FCP 5.04 (Tiger 10.4.6). Whenever I log and capture my clips they appear to be fuzzzy and unclear on the Mac monitor whilst being totally crisp and sharp on the camcorder viewfinder. I tried capturing using the DV PAL 48Khz Anamorphic Preset which keeps everything the right size (the final output needs to be true widescreen and not with black bars added) but the resulting video on screen is blurry and bitty. I then tried capturing using the DV PAL 720 x 576 normal preset and the video is a little clearer on the screen (for both presets I have chosen lower field dominance) but when I play back it plays back in widescreen on the mac canvas window but at 4:3 on the camera's viewfinder.
    I then assumed that maybe this is just becuase the mac screen (CRT by the way) doesn't use fields. So I exported the sequence as a QT movie using DV PAL 16:9 and used quicktime (OS9 Classic - my compressor has never worked because of the dreaded "unable to connect to baackground process" problem which I've never managed to correct) to convert it to MPEG2. When I import this as an asset into DVD Studio pro 4 and set the track size to 16:9 it comes through at the right aspect ratio. However it looks blurry on screen. Thinking that this will be fine on a TV I burned the disc - inserted it into my DVD player (a good one!) and watched it on my new 32" widescreen TV (a good one!) and the picture qualitty is poor. Its so much blurrier and bittier than the original footage looks when played through the camcorder's viewfinder!
    The final footaage looks like an old VHS recording that's a year or two old!
    Does anyone know how I can capture my footage in FCP with the maximum quality, edit it without quality loss and the export it for DVD again without such significant quality loss whilst all the time keeping it at proper 16:9 widescreen?
    Is there some presets I should be working to?
    I'm tearing my hair out! Help!

    Hi Guys,
    thanx for your replies.
    here's the latest:
    Brian, I followed your instructions and the DVD burned successfully. However the video quality of the dvd when viewed on my TV ('ve tried on all 3 of my tvs now) is still a lot poorer than the quicktime movie that was imported into DVDSP4. When I play the original QT Movie on my Mac CRT monitor it looks a little blurry and grainy because I guess its non interlaced however when viewed on an external Video monitor it looks great - very sharp.
    When I view the burned DVD on my television the picture quality looks like the non interlaced version of the original QT Movie that appeared on my Mac CRT and not the sharp interlaced (lower field) version that appeared on my external video monitor.
    Its almost like taking a sharp jpeg into Photoshop and applying a gaussian blur of about 0.3 followed by jepg compression compressing it down to 5% quality!
    I'm totally mystified. Can the conversion to Mpeg2 be removing all interlacing so that you get the less sharp computer monitor look? I just want the video on my final DVDs to be as good as the original source footage! I appreciate that along the way there might be loss of some quality but surely not that much?
    Does this make sense to you guys or am I still doing something very wrong?
    Robert: I have tried setting all manner of drives including a fresh external firewire HD with nothing on it (clean out of the box) but it doesn't seem to help.
    Brian: I tried the no network suggestion a few months back but I'm not sure if I got it right. At the moment I have broadband through an external speedtouch usb modem and am also connected (occasionally although not for the last 3 months) via a crossover cable to my PCs ethernet card. When I last tried the No Network solution I had immense trouble getting my internet to work again! Can you please help me by directing me to the best ay to do this while protecting my internet settings?
    any more help guys would be greatfully appreciated.

  • New and stupid. I need to capture video clips and play them on an iPad2.

    I've been searching the internet for hours and I can't find an easy way to do this.  I am working on a project for my boss so this is crucial. 
    I have three large video files.  I need to several capture portions of each video and get them onto his iPad so he can view them. 
    The video files are currently in .asf format.  I downloaded Windows Live Movie Maker and can edit the videos in that program, but I cannot convert them into a proper format with this program.  So, I found a program online that will convert the clips into mpeg4 format.  I can convert them, view and play them in iTunes but I can't transfer them to his iPad.
    Personally, I have an iPhone 4 and I am fairly computer literate so I have an understanding of the iPad and can function quite well on my computer.  But, I just can't get this to work. 
    Please help. 

    I am sorry about the VLC suggestion.They do have an Ipad version(http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-ios.html) but probably for Jailbroken units only.
    In my defense of poor research i have to say that some time ago it was actually possible to download it from the app store which is why i have VLC on my old Ipod.
    If you have to convert i can recommend "handbrake" which is actually a free ripper but it will convert many file formats into predefined settings for different gadgets amongst them Ipad.

  • I NEED HELP capturing HD on an External HD

    OK, here's the deal.
    I have already edited a 90 minute documentary on FCE and IMac G5 by down-converting from HD to DV on my external hard drive.(shot on a Sony FX-1 and using a Sony HVR-M15U deck for play back and down conversion) No Problems through out this process.
    Having finished that project and having filled my hard drive I bought a new WD Pro edition hard drive, hooked it up via firewire (800 to 400 adapter cable for IMac G5)
    When I try to capture HD footage it will act normally for about 10 minutes. The computer then still frames and locks up. The deck continues to play but nothing is being captured. The computer is completely locked up and the only thing left to power down and reboot, loosing anything I have captured. I have tried several different solutions but nothing works.
    Any suggestions.

    Tom:
    Let me tell ya what I had to do to accomplish the daisy chain and you can tell me if I should proceed. Since my deck only has a 4 pin out, I daisy chained the deck to a WD Pro external hard drive which I had been using for SP video, then daisy chined that with the new WD studio edition hard drive, then to the IMac.
    It still locked up the IMac after about 21 minutes of captured material. Do you think the two hard drives would make a difference. I doubt it. I need another cable to take it out of the mix but if you think that needs doing. . .
    Most people would think 21 minutes is plenty but if something is supposed to do one thing and doesn't, it really irritates me. I could probably divide up the video tape into segments and capture it but the darn machinery is supposed to be better than that. Huh?
    Thanks for all you help and suggestions.
    Russ
