No scene detection in premiere?

Someway that the editing program can automatically detect and cut scene changing moments in a single video clip.
Does this function exist in premiere, or does it exist only in "capturing material in premiere" and "speedgrade (and using xml files to get it to premiere)"?

iMovie can do this automatically. FCE cannot.
The DV Start/Stop Dectection as already mentioned is the only way to break up long clips into Sub-Clips. This is a manual operation. An hours tape (capture) only tkes a few minutes when done correctly. The detection is based on jumps in the Clock Time of the tape.

My scene detect in Premiere cs3 on WIN 7, 64 bit is ghosted and can't turn on

I have my premiere cs3 on two computers one with xp pro and the other with win 7 64bit and I can't activate my scene detect on either operating system, I read manual and did some on line searches but it assumes in the tutorials it is already active. Am I doing something stupid or is there a way to turn it on

Yeah, sorry I should have been more specific. There is no way in Premiere to split it, which still amazes me. HDV split works great though. I just noticed the name of the OP, you would think that they would know that....

Scene Detect not functioning in Premiere Pro CS6

Hello all,
Having an issue with Scene Detect not recognizing individual scenes when I Capture HDV footage from my Canon XH series cameras. Tapes just come in as one long file rather than individual scenes. I am using CS6 on my MAC computers (OS 10.7.5 and 10.6.8).
This is baffling as I've captured many tapes from many weddings and have never experienced this problem to this point.
I did reset my cameras to default settings recently but can't seem to find anything that would indicate that causing the issue. However, it is the only change I have made unless a recent Adobe or OS update could have caused the issue?
Your help and knowledge are greatly appreciated!

Problem solved.
For anyone seeking a possible solution to this simple but incredibly aggravating issue: Make sure your camera's date and time fields are set. Premiere Pro's "Scene Detect" function uses your cameras time signature to differentiate scenes in your captured footage. No time code = no individual scene detection.
When I reset my camera to default settings I erased my time and date fields. I wasn't too worried about it as I typically use these cameras for their HD SDI capability with timecode captured via Tricaster, however this became a frustrating problem when I used the cameras for a recent wedding capture and I now have four long files rather than the intended multiple scenes I need for editing...
Hope this simple discovery makes someone's day a little easier...

Premiere Elements 4.0 - cannot set DV capture Scene Detect

New install / Premiere Elements 4.0 (Panasonic DV, firewire connection)
Premiere Elements 4.0 - cannot set DV capture Scene Detect
HELP Says: "select or deselect Scene Detect By Timecode or Scene Detect By Content in the Capture panel menu"
DV Capture panel menu does not provide this option; instead a popup appears "DV Capture Preview Settings"
trying to capture as single AVI file, no scene detect
thanks, GARRY

When you open Premiere Elements 4 and the Welcome Screen appears, click on "Capture Video". The Capture Window will appears. Look up to the top right of that Window (those tiny black arrows next to the X/close).
Clicking on those tiny black arrows results in a drop down list which should include the options:
Scene Detect by Timecode
Scene Detect by Content
I suspect that you are clicking on that camcorder icon just below those tiny black arrow.
If I am wrong, please let us know.

Premiere Pro CS4: Timecode issues (Scene Detect, Free Run)

Hi folks,
I am most familiar with Premiere Pro CS3. In the past, I have created multi-camera sequences that are synchronised by timecode. I have been shooting using the Free Run timecode feature across all cameras, as to maintain a sync'd timecode.
Now that I am using Premiere Pro CS4 at work, I am running into a few issues in preserving my timecode values during capture. I have recorded HDV footage using two Sony Z7's. I downconvert the HDV footage into DV upon capturing - this is so that I can use the scene-detect feature, and still supposedly preserve the timecode for each media file. I captured all of the tapes using scene-detect, and the timecode values were correct for each media file captured.
Having saved, closed, and reopened my Premiere Project the next day, the timecode values for the majority of the media files have been reset (ie, they all start at "0:00:00:00". This is very odd! Only a few of the media files have retained their correct timecode values.
Has anyone else experienced this? Could they please shed some light on this problem or quirk? Am I taking the wrong approach in capturing/organising media? I am following the same procedure as I had done in PPro CS3.
I have since deleted the Media Cache/Preview Files, requiring Premiere to re-index, and re-conform the media files. The timecode values are still incorrect. When I select all of my media files and tell them to go 'offline', the correct timecode values re-appear.
Many thanks for your help,
Andrew

Does anyone have an answer to this problem?? I think I am having the same problem. I don't have as much experience as the others on the
forum, but basically what I tried to do was filming a multi-camera event in free run timecode, then
captured in HDV split, and assumed I could get Premiere to align the clips accordingly. Anyone have any idea how to do this????
Any help is appreciated,
Thanks,
Aaron

Speedgrade scene detection clips export easily into premiere pro??

I have a .mp4 movie and want to scene detect it to get different clips using speedgrade.
Then I want to switch to premiere pro in the most easy way!
I dont want to change the order of clips. the clip splitting is just for speedgrade adjustments.
(Im just starting to use the programms)

SG erzeugt keine Clips. Die Szenenerkennung wird nur intern verwendet, um separate Korrekturen voneinander zu trennen. Wenn, dann müßte jedes Segment separat exportiert werden. Aber umgekehrt kann SG wunderbar vorseparierte Premiere Sequenzen verwenden...

Capture with Scene Detect: Clip Name Keeps Changing

I am editing weddings and my raw footage is usually on 3 tapes. I capture with Scene Detect checked and I name the clip "Clip", so Premiere labels each clip as Clip 01, Clip 02, Clip 03, etc. But when I put in my 2nd tape, Premiere starts labelling them Clip 01 1, Clip 02 1, Clip 03 1, etc. How can I get Premiere to continue from the last number of the previous tape, (the same way that Scenalyzer does automatically)?

How can I get Premiere to continue from the last number of the previous tape
You can't. Once you stop capture, PP will always restart the numbering, even if it's from the same tape.
What I do is use Bridge to Batch Rename the clips.

Scene Detection Broken in CS6?

I'm having awful difficulty capturing video in CS6. Specifically, every 60 seconds or so CS6 keeps prompting me to save the scene it thinks it's captured, even though scene detection is *not* checked (it is off) and abort on dropped frames is also off.
I'd be happy to just have it capture the tape as a single scene, but it refuses to cooperate.
I am unable to disable scene detect, it seems.
The only other reports I was able to find relate to CS5 and the suggestions there do not seem to make any difference.
Re: Possible Work Around for Capture and Scene Detect
Anyone else seen this problem?
Setup:
Mac OS X 10.10.2
Canon GL2 (mini DV; firewire)
Premiere Pro CS6

I ended up enabling scene detect and babysitting this particular tape. That was extremely painful and not what I expected from a professional product like Premiere.
As a side note, it seems like scene detect works and that this is perhaps a problem with a separate mechanism that tries to detect the end of tape or something.

Automatic scene detection: Pros and cons

I am new to Premiere Pro. I have used Pinnacle Studio, where scene detection involves the storing of the scene information in a separate file from the captured video, which is stored in a single AVI file. I run Premiere on Windows, so as I understand it, the options I have are to capture my video to a single file, or to use scene detection, which creates one file per detected scene.
On the one hand, having a single file per DV tape is convenient. On the other hand, such a file is rather large.
On the one hand, using the scene detection feature will result in a large number of files. On the other hand, any files for scenes that will never be used can be deleted, saving disk space.
What I'm looking for is how others prefer to capture video -- either in one file or in multiple scene files -- and why you prefer to do it that way.

Scene detect.
I discovered the hard way long ago that each of my camera ops needs to set date/time on their camcorder or else it doesn't work (why they never set it, who knows...).
Add to that, if the little battery dies in the camcorder, it'll toss out the date and all saved functions - including white balance - each time the camera is turned off. Little things you learn....but anyway....
Yeah, scene detect, for all the previously mentioned reasons. I do multiple attempts at some shots, even in event work. By having individual files, I can toss the unused clips once I'm done selecting my shots (or at least set them as offline).

Scene Detection in FCE hd ??? help

Although I am new to FCE I am not new to editing. I cannot find Scene Detection in FCE! Works everytime in Premiere and Vegas and even in iMovie. But NOT in FCE it seems. How come? or am I just being stupid in trying to find it. Thanks so much for your help. Roger

iMovie can do this automatically. FCE cannot.

Scene Detect on a clip after it's been captured?

I've got a clip with multiple interviews on it. I'd like to cut it up into the individual interviews (which all have a fixed camera). I know it can do this when you're capturing a tape, but is there a way to have Premiere autodetect where the cuts were and split up the footage automatically for a clip that's already in your project?

Scene Detect - Duplicate "Filename"

Previously, when I scene-detected (by content... it's an old analog tape) "tape7.avi", it created:
*a folder named "tape7",
*each clip named "tape7-0000", "tape7-0001", etc.
I believe that was done in PE4.
Now, in PE7, I do the same thing: import a "tape8.avi" and scene-detect. But now it creates
*a folder named "tape8.avi"
*every clip is named the same thing: "tape8.avi".
Obviously, having 100 clips all named the same thing is less-than-helpful.
I keep thinking this is a setting somewhere that I'm missing, but I can't find it.
How do I get my scene-detected clips to have unique names (e.g. tape8-0000)?

I give up!
I've tried troubleshooting this, and still get the same result no matter what I do.
*I rebooted.
*I caputred the AVI using WinDV and using built-in Premiere capture.
*I tried scene detect as part of Premiere capture; separately after Premiere capture; separately after WinDV capture
*I've tried different names for the capture AVI
*I've cleared out every reference to the captured AVI (cached files, autosaves, etc.)
*I've started new projects and added the AVI and did new scene detect (according to Adobe doc, scene analysis is by project)
*I let PRE finish its "creating peak file for tape8.avi..." and I've started the scene analysis before it finished the peak file generation
No matter what I do, every single "detected" clip is named exactly the same. No sequence number.
I keep looking for a checkbox that says "Append sequence number for scene detect" that's not checked, because that would explain things, but I haven't found it yet!
Frustrating beyond belief, and I'm out of ideas short of re-installing PRE7. I would do that if I had even the slightest hope that it would fix it. But since I just recently installed PRE7, I highly doubt re-installing it will fix anything.
BTW, I did check and verify that this is the first AVI I've captured with PRE7. The last AVI I captured was with PRE4 and everything was fine.

Scene Detection off by two frames

I'm using CS5.5 on a Mac. I'm capturing DV footage from a digital 8 tape. I captured the whole tape and selected scene detection. I noticed that the last two frames of each clip were actually suppose to be the first two frames of the next clip. So in other words what should be the first two frames of clip 2 end up being the last two frames of clip 1 and clip 2 starts on frame 3. Is this normal? Is this just a programing flaw?

Once more: hdv -- scene detection

Hello,
what is the reason that premiere cs4 is not be able to detect scenes in HDV material?
Why "we" have to use HDVSplit?
Carlos

Ask Adobe. They are always last to introduce such basic functionality that is readily available in freeware/shareware for ages. Look at DV. Scenalyzer offered scene detection for more than two years before Adobe finally caught up and still does not compare favourably to Scenalyzer that offers a lot more. Adobe probably needs to progress to CS7, meanwhile stealing our $$ for each and every upgrade and still not delivering on time.
IMO there is nothing wrong with HDVSplit. It works reliably and does what we expect it to do. If you don't like this answer, contact Adobe, maybe they can get their stuff together before 2015. (ETA CS5: 2011, CS6: 2013, CS7:2015)
