No preview during capture issue

Hi - I have Adobe Premiere setup to show me the video while it's capturing it form my camcorder, but for some reason it only shows the first frame at that's it. it does capture it correctly. What could be the issue?
Thanks,
Roberto

Hmm. I've not yet seen this issue under these conditions. The Scenalyzer suggestion may be worth investigation. WinDV is another capture utility, not quite as feature rich as Scenalyzer, but it is free.

Video preview during capture CS3

Video preview during capture is not working even though settings are at preview video and audio during capture.
The work around seems to be to go ahead record anyway (red button) then it works after I paste the captured audio onto the timeline.
When pasting it to the timeline the video appears. The video appears during subsequent captures. It seems like a bug in CS3. This was not a problem with PP 1.5
Thanks

A few more of
these details will help us help you.

No video Preview During Capture

Here is the scoop:
Adobe Premeire CS5
Windows 7 64bit
Canon XL2
Capturing DV NOT HDV
Canon standard device control as there is no preset listed for the XL2
Video and audio actually captures fine. I can hear audio during capture but cannot see any video.
I know there is no video preview when capturing HDV but I am capturing DV.
Again this is CS5 NOT 5.5 so .dll fix is not an option
Thanks in advance.

FIXED!
Heres how it went:
Went to Device Manager and let windows look for an updated driver for my Graphics Card (Radeon HD 4200). Windows said the most current driver was installed. It was NOT the most current driver. I went out to ATI and got the most current driver, installed, reboot and OH JOY! I get video in the capture window during preview AND during capture (of DV)!
I also let windows (device manager) look for updated drivers for sound and it said the driver was the most current. Again, it was not. so the moral of the story is...Don't trust Device Manager on current driver versions.
Hope this will help some folks out there.
Side Note*
Most of us spend hours on forums looking for answers/fixes to particular problems. Most replies I see are either in the vein of "I have that problem too" or " try this, it worked in this OTHER version or try this OTHER software" etc. If you dont have an answer/fix for the problem, dont post.
ON the flip side of that, when posting a problem you want an answer to, Give all the pertinent information in your initial question. " Premiere crashes when I plug up my camera" does NOT suffice! What version of Premiere, what camera, what OS, What kind of connection, etc.

Preview during capture

P.E. version 9.0.1 , operating system Vista 32 . When capture video from camcorder via fire wire , don't have preview , but video and audio captured O.K.
What should I look to solve this?
Ted

Hello again;
I been looking to some sources include Adobe and didn't find nothing about no capture preview in P.E.9. Only in the Read Me file , Adobe mention that some streaks could be visible on capture preview screen due capturing
interlaced footage.However I was successful with capture preview until I get updates from Adobe , updated graphics driver from nVidia and get windows updates. Going further I installed my old P.E.4.0 which I been using for few years and with this program I have preview on capture screen when capturing HD footage.My conclusion: something is corrupted in P.E.9 either to updates or poor writing of the program.
Another issue with P.E.9 is rendering. When I render timeline and save , then exit program and open project again red line above time line is still present. I have to render again to get this job done.
I contacted Adobe about this issue and after several back and for calls answer from Adobe was "this is going since version 4.0 and Adobe is working on this ,and will send you update". It is over year now
and no update resolving rendering problem, but I don't have rendering problem in version 4.0.

Audio preview during capture

Hi
How do I get audiopreview during capture?
When I playback audio output works fine, during capture its off.
When I look in the Audio/Video Settings in the tab Capture Settings I can read in the right summary field that the speaker is off, how do I get this on?

HDV does not allow monitoring audio during capture.
If you are working with DV, there is a checkbox to turn it on. The location of the box varies with the version of FCP.
The simpler solution is to just to route the analog audio out from your deck or camera to a pair of speakers. This has the beauty of not adding to the processing overhead during capture.

Pp CS6, HDV CAPTURE, NO VIDEO PRIOR TO OR DURING CAPTURE

pp CS6 pc, HDV CAPTURE, NO VIDEO PRIOR TO OR DURING CAPTURE.
wITH CS5.5 YOU WOULD SEE VIDEO IN THE PREVIEW WINDOW BEFORE PRESSING THE RECORD BUTTON. THEN IT WOULD CAHNGE TO A BLUE SCREEN DURING CAPTURE. NOW JUST BLACK BUT IT DOES RECORD FINE.
ANY IDEAS? BUG? SORRY FOT THE CAPS...OOOPS.

During capture? That is new...

Lighting issue during capture

During the capture process, when I monitor the picture on the camera's LCD viewer it appears bright & normal. But in the viewing window on FCP during the capture it appears much darker. Likewise, after the capture is complete and I run the clip in the viewer it also appears just as dark as it did in the viewer during capture. Likewise, it's just as dark when placed in the time-line and viewed in the canvas. Hence, is it a setting during capture or something else that causes the picture to become much darker in FCP? THX!

Nothing is being adjusted during the capture process. The images being brought into the computer are what the camera really recorded.
If so, why do they look so different? It could be someone turned up the "brightness" on your camera viewfinder to see images on a sunny day. It could be your computer monitors are set way too dark.
The truth will not be found until you view the image on an adjusted external monitor designed to play that video format. Until then, you have no real idea of the lightness/darkness of the image.

Unable to monitor audio during capture

I'm using FCP6 to capture footage shot with a JVC GY-HD100U at HDV 720p24. I'm using a JVC BR-HD50 deck to capture from, connected to my MacPro 3 GHz quad via firewire.
In the Audio/Video Setting dialog box, the Sequence Preset is "HDV 720P24". My Capture Preset is "HDV", Device Control Preset "HDV FireWire". Video Playback shows "[Missing] Apple Firewire NTSC (720 x 480)" and offers only the options of None and Digital Cinema Desktop Preview–Main as alternate choices. Both HDV options are greyed out. The Audio Playback option is set to Default.
With this setup, controlling the deck remotely from the capture window, I get video but no audio. The only audio I get is when the deck is connected to my video monitor and I use it to monitor the output of the deck. The audio is there when I play back the clips after capture but I cannot monitor the sound with the computer's speakers. If I go to the A/V Devices tab, under Video, it shows the same "[Missing] Apple Firewire NTSC (720 x 480) with the same choices described above, and the Options button next to it doesn't do anything.
Can anyone think of anything I've missed in the initial setup?

Keith,
For whatever reason (perhaps the intense processor needs) HDV does not allow you to monitor your audio during capture. The computer just will not do it. What I have done, if I really want to hear what's happening durning capture, is plug my speakers into the headphone jack of my XL H1. Due to the processing that's going on, the audio "lags" behind the video by a couple of seconds.
I'm pretty sure this is not a setup problem, but just a limitation due to the nature of your format.
Hope that helps!

Sound Audible during capturing

Hi, Suddenly I can hear the audio during capturing, HDV, anyone know how to turn it off?
Thanks,
Andy

you're not alone. I've been having the exact same problem for months. FCP 6, capturing HDV. I can't turn the audio preview off. I can't listen to itunes without hearing what is being captured.
here's my previous unresolved post:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=7052428#7052428
still haven't figured it out. I tried switching to capturing DV, turning the audio Preview on and then off and then switched back to HDV. still no solution. Apparently there are some that wish they had the opposite problem.

File manager crash during capture

Using the latest version, I am getting consistent crash during capture of the file manager. Using an IBM T61P that has a 7200rpm drive. If I do frequent saves during capture I don't loose the work before the next crash. I hope I don't have to use an external drive to make this problem go away.
Any ideas out there?

Dennis already said it, but a single disk is not enough. Minimum requirements are a DEDICATED 7200 RPM (e)SATA disk for capturing. Add to that the fact that your system is dead slow (at least 50 times slower than a fast system) and that one should not do anything else during capturing, and that the system may not be tuned at all for editing and disaster is waiting to strike.
Have a look here: Adobe Forums: Guide for installing and tuning a Vista... which also applies to Win7, for a band-aid. It will not solve the issue of an extremely slow CPU, possibly integrated Intel graphics, which should be avoided at all times, shared memory, which is another no-go and the lacking disk setup.

FCP HD 4.5 footage freezes during capture

Hello
Here we go again!
I just upgraded to Tiger 10.4.9 and QT 7.1.6 and I'm having issues with capturing footage. Basically the video in Log and Capture window freezes for 2-5 seconds periodically while capturing, so it skips and when I playback the captured clip, I get a jumpcut. The tape keeps rolling during capture and camera responds to all the controls. Any ideas on how to fix this glitch? Please advise!
Thank you.

Macam or Parian cause capture issues???

Hello all - I've been having capture issues with my HDV stuff (Crashes during capture - I posted the details under 'Crash under HDV log and Capture' if anyone can help me out with that issue and this is slightly related...
People elsewhere say that Macam or Parian can affect Final Cut - any experiences with that? any other programs that I should avoid that could negatively affect my fcp performance?
Thanks!
- John

I'm using FCP7 on Snow Leopard.
Any idea as to what could cause fcp to crash during capture (HDV to ProRes) if it's worked more then a dozen times prior??? Any other programs could affect such things? Nothing has been installed or changed on my system in over a month.

Turning OFF Audio Playback during capture?

When capturing a tape from my video camera in Premiere Pro, How do I turn off the audio playback while recording?
I want to record the audio and the video, but I don't want to hear the tape's audio playing back through my computer speakers while recording. The technician I spoke to over the phone was extremely unhelpful and suggested I simply mute my computer speakers if I don't want to hear it. What if I want to listen to music or am trying to watch another video file in a different program without having to hear the premiere pro audio blaring over it. Please someone tell me the rude technician I spoke to did not understand clearly what I was asking and if anyone knows how to accomplish this or can shed anymore light on the topic.
I just spent 40 minutes on the phone with an adobe tech support rep who took 40 minutes to correctly understand the issue I was calling for and then informed me that the functionality does not exist within the premiere pro software. Sorry if this comes off as a little edgy, but my tech "support" call was extremely frustrating and now to find that premiere pro wont let you listen to anything in any other program while recording seems a little rediculous.
Thanks,

It is risky to run other applications while capturing footage. May lead to dropped frames. I have found that Premiere is a resource hog and more likely to have this problem than other capture programs. Not that Premiere is a bad program for capture, but you might find an alternative that provides a better solution for your specific need.
It has been a few years since using Scenalyzer, but I always found that program to be extremely reliable and flexible. And it has the capability of silencing the audio during capture. Since you didn't say what format you are capturing I can't say whether Scenalyzer will work for you. Check it out.
I don't think Harm was being condesending at all. He is simply warning you about the potential problems your system may face by attempting to multi-task in the manner you describe. It's up to you to decide if you want to follow the advice you seek here.
Good luck

Flilcker interlaced during capture, Monitor is perfect. CS4

When capturing DV from a normal panasonic dv cam (GS250) into adobe premiere CS4 (4.2.1) i get flicker / interlaced image in the capture window during preview. But when I look at the captured video in the source monitor afterwards, the video image is perfect.Just upgraded from windows xp premire CS2 to windows 7 (64 bit) premiere CS4. Same camera. The problem with flicker during capture is not present when I use VirtualDub for capture in windows 7. Playback of the captured avi file is perfect, both from VirtualDub and Premiere.

To be more precise (this is difficult to explain in english for me):
1) Connect the camera
2) press F5 to get the Capture window
3) I press play button to start viewing whats on the tape in the camera. The video image is now "flickering" of "interlaced".
4) press G to start reccoring. The video images is still flickering/interlaced
5) press Escape
6) save the clip
7) drag the clip to the time line
8) replay the very same clip from the timeline, video images is now perfect with no trace of flickering/interlaced.
So it is actually saved allright into the computer. There is nothing wrong with the avi-file. It is just how it looks during capture.
I also tryed to view whats on the tape on the campera in another program called PowerDirector (a program that was pre installed in the coomputer). The video image is perfect in PowerDirector. I also checked the camera in my old computer, also perfect there.Then I tested Adobe OnLocation to see if I could get something similar there. But no, video image also perfect in OnLocation. I alse verifyed that I had set my project to PAL 25 fps 4:3, the same as the camera.
This problem is _only_ in Adobe Premere CS4 (windows 7 64bit) and _only_ in the capture window.
(I also tryed to change the driver for the firevire card. There are 3 built in drivers It didn't help.)

Audio echo during capture CS3

During capture I get this terrible audio echo. If I go into the Windows mixer panel and set a slider called Premiere down to zero that will stop it. But if I then wish to hear the audio (from Premiere) after the capture I have to turn it up again. Sureley this is not the correct way to do it.
It seems as though the input audio is being monitored and the delayed Premiere output at the same time. This will only happen when the capture screen is open.
Anyone any idea how to stop this without constantly playing with the mixer?
Very annoying.

Problem is only while the capture screen is being used. The delay is very pronounced.
So, your Captured footage does not exhibit this echo. Is that correct? Obviously, you have a latency issue. What are your Audio playback settings? I would also wonder about the Matrox card, as these have caused all sorts of Audio issues, though I do not recall any with Capture.
If the first statement is true, then your footage is clean and good, and all you have to do is adjust the necessary settings during Capture.
Good luck,
Hunt
