No video on analog capture

Well I am trying to figure out why I get no video in my FCP version 6.0.5 Log and Capture window. I am running analog out of a video camera into my Sony DSR-11.....
I followed this advice from a previous post....
*Take the analog outputs of the VHS (S-Video if you have it) and plug it into the DSR-11 analog inputs.*
*On the front panel of the DSR-11 switch the input to either Video or S-Video depending on if you are using composite or S-Video output from your VHS.*
*In FCP, open Log and Capture, and under the Capture Settings Tab, select non-controllable device.*
*Play the VHS and press Capture Now.*
I still have no communication/video in the Log and Capture window. The strange thing is that I-Movie recognizes the DSR-11, and video is also recognized in Quicktime...
Tried trashing preferences.... no go .....so now I am stumped.....I could capture in another program but am determined to figure this out.....
Thanks

Thanks so much for your help Jim... Tried all the usual subjects to no avail. Hopefully I will not have to capture analog again soon.
So the question is......since I am able to capture in I-Movie and Quicktime and not FCP (wish I knew why....but I have not quit looking into yet) then which program could I use to capture the footage, and then what format should I convert to for editing in FCP. What I am actually doing is capturing footage from a VCR for my daughters wedding reception video so I am not really concerned about quality loss, as there is not much quality to begin with. I will be combining the video clips with TIFF photos to make the video. I think the quicktime uses H.264 and I - Movie seems like the clips are DV/DVCPRO - NTSC.
As I have read, H.264 is not a FCP editing format, and I am not sure if DV/DVCPRO is ok to use or if I should convert it.
Onwards and upwards..

I need a DVI-Video adapter or a MiniDisplayPort-Video adapter to capture analog sources in my Mac.

I need a DVI-Video adapter or a MiniDisplayPort-Video adapter to capture VCR and analog sources. Which is the right one for the Mac Pro (Early 2009 with NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 board)? Because i´ve seen a couple of cables but they say it´s just for Power Mac G5. I need exact model for my mac pro. I found this one but its´ just for Mac Pro with with ATI X1900 XT. The question is which one do I need for the NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 board? Is is the same one?

There was a similar post just the other day with what I think is the same confusion. You said,
I need a DVI-Video adapter or a MiniDisplayPort-Video adapter to capture VCR and analog sources.
And the way I read that is you want video input (keyword you used was "capture"). Is that what you really want? If so adapters you are looking at is for video output, i.e., to send video from your computer to a display device (e.g., a TV or monitor). If you really want to video input (into your computer) then a simple cable isn't going to work. You need a pci card that handles such functionality.

713x BDA Analog Capture defaults to SVideo?

I am having trouble using the MSI TV@nywhere Plus to stream live video from the composite input to a provider like ustream.tv.
Using a free version of webcamxp/webcam7, I am able to view/stream video ONLY when I select '713x BDA Analog Capture', then 'Video Input > Composite'. Some other clients (such as the ustream.tv producer client), there is only an option to select '713x BDA Analog Capture', which does broadcast (i can see the static being broadcast), but not from the right input port. Unfortunately, I am not able to select the 'composite' video input source, which I think is the problem.
Is there a way to change default the video input for this card? Is there another way to work around this?
I have tried connecting the camera (BNC output) to the TV@nywhere card differently, but found it only worked using: BNC -> RCA -> composite cable -> svideo port on the TV@nywhere card.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks,
Matt.

Have you tried BNC female to f male adapter using the antenna/cable in? I didn't have any luck finding BNC female to male PAL, native connector for the cable in is male PAL (card socket is female PAL) but PAL is hard to find in US since it's mostly used in Europe.
I don't know if this type of input would work but the adapter is cheap enough to give it a try.

Analog capture issue

WHILE capturing vhs through an analog capture deck, many videos hit a snag, where they will freeze sporadically on an individual shot and hold for a few seconds and then continue recording. id say this happens about every 5 minutes..any thoughts?

Can`t detect ATI AVSTREAM ANALOG CAPTURE

I got a problem when i try to detect a TV Tunner Card: ATI AVSTREAM ANALOG CAPTURE with jmf. I got this message:
" the dispositive can`t be use when another applicacion like video, DVD conference, video edition o webtv for windows
is using.If WebTv has been instaled and is running in your sistem, make a pause at video datos services of webtv."
The card works fine with movie maker so it `s not problem of the card, and i don`t have another aplicacion that is using the card.

Miguel Angel wrote:
well actually the message is in spanish and is this:I don't think JMF would spit out Spanish... which makes me think this isn't a JMF message.
Is your ATI card VFW or DirectShow compliant?
so if you understand spanish maybe you can help me.The device cannot be used when in use by this or another video application, like DVD, video conference, WebTV for Windows. In order to use this device with the current application, close the other application that is using it. If WebTV is installed and running, pause the "WebTV Video Data Service" in the taskbar by right-clicking its icon and selecting "Pause Service"...

Interlacing methodology: analog capture, export AVI, DVD authoring?

My question concerns when to interlace and/or deinterlace a video?
The original medium is VHS tape.
The final products will be VHS tape (interlaced) and DVD (progressive).
1. I do an analog capture of a VHS Tape with a Matrox capture card. I assume the new AVI file is interlaced because the tape was interlaced. But maybe I am incorrect.
2A. For the final VHS product, when I export the video to an AVI file, do I need to turn interlacing on or do I need to use the progressive scan option? (If I use the interlacing option, am I doing a double interlace of the video? If I use the progressive scan option, am I preserving the already interlaced video?)
2B. For the final DVD product, when I export the video to an AVI file, do I need to A) use the interlacing option, use the progressive scan option, or C) deinterlace at this point?
3A. For the final VHS product, I merely play the newly exported AVI, and the interlaced video in analog form is outputted from the Matrox capture card and recorded by the VCR. Is that it?
3B. For the final DVD product, I use TMPGEnc (Tsunami MPEG Encoder) to create MPGs prior to authoring the DVD. Do I need to use interlacing or progressive scan options here? See step 2B for previous options performed.
Thank you for your expertise,
John

The source media is interlaced. Leave it that way for all exports.

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.

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.

Cant see the videos that I captured from my camcorder, into iMovie, on my hard drive or in FCP.

I can only see these files in my iMove Library. I cant see them at all from inside FCPX. I just want to import the video's I already captured from iMovie into FCPX.

Version 10 of iMovie and 10.0.8 of FCP X Trial. If I could just locate where the video's I captured are in the Macintosh HD then surely I could use that video. They are large files I assume since they were captured from 1 hour long DV tapes but I just dont see them anywhere on the HD.

I have a big problem with my Iphone 4...the pics and videos that i capture, often shows as inverted or orientted by 90/180/270 degrees. photos, one can rotate, but how about videos... is there any way i'm going wrong? this wasn't happening earlier

My question...
any answers pl.

If I've understood you correctly then the ALLEXCEPT function may be what you're after and it could be applied in a similar way to the following...
=
RANKX(
ALL(Table1),
CALCULATE(
COUNTROWS(table1),
ALLEXCEPT(Table1, Table1[ContactReason])
DENSE
If this has missed the mark, would it be possible to clarify the requirement further?

Intermittant problems recognizing my Sony video camera when capturing

When filming live, I have an intermittant problem with PPro 6 recognizing my Sony video camera when capturing. I hit the G (for start recording) and something it goes live and sometime the capture window goes to digital mess. I am using the "no" device control preference setting as I was told to by the Sony customer care tech.
Has anyone had a similar problem?

No Video Preview When Capturing DV Video.

I have looked through the forums, scoured the internet, and even worked with Adobe technical support to no avail. I am using a Canon ZR80 to transfer some of my older home movies from DV tapes to my PC. Adobe Premiere Pro captures audio and video just fine, but I can not watch the video as it captures. This is NOT HD video so PP should let me preview it. Here's my system:
Windows 8 x64
Intel i7-3930K 6 core processor @3.20 GHz
32GB RAM
Nvidia GeForce GTX 560 ti
Directx 11
I have tried using legacy FireWire drivers as many have suggested with no effect. I have tried it on PP 5.5, 6.0 and CC all do the same thing. I have tried 6 different video card drivers. I even did a clean install of Windows 8. I have dual monitors and read somewhere to remove one, tried that no help. Worked with Adobe support for 2 days till we got to the point that he said I "should just get a refund".
I really don't want to give up on pp for such a minor issue, but I also don't want to keep paying $23 a month for software that is not 100%.
If ANYBODY has ANY ideas, I would greatly appreciate it!

I also don't want to keep paying $23 a month for software that is not 100%.
Software as complex as Premiere Pro will never be 100% bug free.
I'm also inclined to believe this is more of a system issue than a PP issue. I don't recall other reports of this nature, and it works fine on my own system.
The only other thing I can think of to suggest is another FireWire port, possibly by adding a FireWire card to the system. I've read that the chip makes a difference, so research over in the Hardware forum.

Video card for capturing HD

I had problems capturing HD footage using Canon GL camera and it had something to do with the HD device on my mac.
*Do I need a different video card to capture HD?*

Hi(Bonjour)!
What is the exact model of your camcorder? a GL1 or GL2 ? Those models do not do HD.
See FCE HD 3.5 user's manual (help menu) from page 207 to see how to capture HDV from HDV camcorders.
FCE HD doesn't support capture cards, and the capturing process doesn't involve specific video card requirements.

My camcorder videos are not capturing properly

The same thing is happening to all the video that I capture from my video camera: Once or twice every second, there is a "pop" in the audio, and then the audio skips ahead by a fraction of a second. Sometimes the video skips ahead too, but not as frequently. I've made several capture attempts, and sometimes the audio and video get out of sync and sometimes not. But it always does that popping and skipping ahead thing.
The first time this happened, I got an error dialog that said something about the sample rate, but then I never got that message again, so I really can't say exactly what it said.
I used to capture video from this camera all the time with no problem, a couple years ago. But now, no dice. I've tried it on both of my computers and the same thing happens. I've also tried iMovie -- again, same deal.
My first thought was that maybe I had changed the audio sample rate setting on my video camera, but I've searched the manual and it looks like my only options are 12bit and 16bit. I tried both and got the same result.
I'd sure appreciate any help you can provide, cause I'm completely stuck until I figure this out. Thank you!

At first I thought you might be a newcomer doing something terribly wrong but it appears you have successfully used FCP and that camera on previous occasions.
Does the camera still playback correctly?
What version of FCP have you got and have you updated your OS recently as there may be an incompatibility?
As this is an apparent mystery the first thing you could try is to trash your preferences exactly as described here:-
