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...

  • Captured analog video, where does the actual captured file go?

    I am backing up old analog video 8 tapes to digital, using a Canopus ADVC-55 converter. The process is going just fine as far as I can tell, but I am sure I will have more questions as I get into this further. I am using FCP 6.04.
    As an initial test, I completed a Capture Now (non-controllable device selected) of a short 30 min. analog tape, using an older video 8 Sony Handicam, running through the Canopus interfacing with FCP. Primarily I want to run through all these old tapes (about 15 of them…) and back them up onto a dedicated Iomega external firewire drive, to retrieve for later use.
    Question du jour… Where the heck is the actual data file on the hard drive? Isn’t the file I see in the bin, from a result of the capture, just an alias pointing to the actual captured data file? The FCP document is only 24 KB, but I know the data file is much larger. I have searched the drive high and low but cannot locate it… Can anyone answer this? Also, I’ve read in discussions here about doing transfer to DV (I have a Canon digital camcorder I could use) rather than the hard drive… but if this is for backup purposes only, should that matter? And wouldn’t I lose a step of quality that way?

    I understand Kevan. For the time being, all I wanted to do was get these old 8 mm tapes backed up to digital format because I am afraid the tapes will degrade. They are about 12 years old. I also have some VHS cassettes that are much older that I plan to back up also.
    Eventually I would like to build some family movies and will use these files, but if you think I should be capturing into DV (I can use my Canon DV camcorder I guess) I will do that instead.
    Also, I will go ahead and define the folder so I can find the files more easily in the future.
    I sure appreciate that you are taking the time to answer these questions, thanks again.

  • Video Doesn't Show While Capturing in PrCS4

    Hi,
    I was capturing my video into PrCS4 just fine last night and then when I switched tapes, my video didn't show anymore in the capture window.  It plays on my camcorder and in the capture window I can press play/stop/etc. and the counter on the left is counting the time just fine.  I also took the tape to work this morning where I have a SonyDVCam deck, but that gives me another issue where Pr recognizes it, but when I hit play on the deck it sounds like it's playing, but nothing appears on the capture screen and the counter doesn't even move.  My camcorder is a Canon HV30, using Sony MiniDV tape, shot in DV widescreen.  I tried turning off the camera and turning it back on, opening and closing the capture window (cause that seemed to work earlier in the evening), and restarting Premiere and the computer as well.  Nothing seems to work.  Any suggestions?
    Thank you!
    Jen

    Set your camera to DV, not HDV. Preview will show. Or try Scenalyzer, much better for DV. If you have HDV there is no preview nor scenedetection during capture, as explained in the help file and manual. Try HDVSplit for HDV material, again much better than Adobe. Preview and scendetection are available with this application for free.

  • 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.
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/828/cpsid_82848.html
    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.

  • HDV Print to Video, My Settings

    I've seen several posts here about problems getting Print To Video to work with HDV. I just did this and the results were great. So, at the risk of being redundant, I'm going to post what I did.
    Camera: Sony FX1, captured using the camera over Firewire.
    Captured into FCP using Easy Setup HDV 1080i60
    All the footage was nighttime fast action sports.
    In the sequence I slowed almost all the footage down to 33.33%, with Frame Blending turned on.
    No dissolves, all simple cuts.
    No other filters, motion, overlays, graphics, etc.
    Sony FX1 Menu Settings:
    IN/OUT REC
    VCR HDV/DV > AUTO
    REC MODE > SP
    COMPONENT > 1080i/48Oi
    iLINK CONV > OFF
    TV TYPE > 16:9
    A/V TO D/V OUT > OFF
    Final Cut Pro Settings: (as viewed from MENU>FINAL CUT PRO>AUDIO VIDEO SETTINGS...
    Summary Tab
    Sequence Preset: HDV - 1080i60
    Capture Preset: HDV
    Device Control: Sony HDV Firewire
    Video Playback: None
    Audio Playback: None
    Sequence Presets Tab
    HDV - 1080i60
    Capture Presets Tab

    A/V Devices Tab
    Playback Output
    Video: None
    Audio: Default
    "CHECKED" Different Output for Edit to Tape/Print to Video
    Video: HDV (1440 x 1080) 30 fps
    "CHECKED" Mirror on Desktop
    Audio: Default
    "NOT CHECKED" Do not show External A/V ...
    "NOT CHECKED" Do no show warning ...
    Before you Print To Video, make sure you have the Sequence in the Timeline selected. Otherwise you might get an error message. Also, make sure the Camera has a tape and its sitting at the spot you want to print to. (FCP will control the camera)
    Then I choose: MENU>FILE>PRINT TO VIDEO ...
    Leader: Nothing checked here
    Media: Print In to Out (which was set on the Timeline) nothing else checked
    Trailer: "CHECKED" Black 5 seconds
    "CHECKED" Automatically Start Recording
    After you click OK, your sequence will most likely go through a Conforming process, which conforms the sequence as required for HDV. (different from a render) Then the screen will go black, and you can click OK, FCP will cue up the camera, put it in record mode and start the print. (export)
    One note: I thought I had also checked MENU>VIEW>EXTERNAL VIDEO>ALL FRAMES. However, when I was done, I checked this menu again and it was set to OFF. So, to be honest I don't know if I did check it and it went back to off, or it was not in fact checked. (lots of messing around prior to getting it to work, sorry)

    wish I could get it to work consistantly for my GR-HD1 from JVC. terrible that one of the first cameras on the market isn't fully supported by FCP5.
    I have to fiddle around endlessly to get the camera recognised. Usually in Camera mode and then quickly switch the Cam back to VCR mode after FCP recognizes it.
    The people at the Sony Store here in San Francisco are so rude and ignorant that I will die before buying a camera from them. I went in to buy 3 cameras for my company a month ago and couldn't get any service. The only one paying attention to me was the security guard who kept coming over to tell me that I couldn't touch the camera in the display. I asked the sales staff I finally got to help me a question about the HDV cameras, and he just dissappeared. Never to return. Eff them.
    I will stick to JVC even if it means changing my shop over to PCs. Which has been happening a lot around me lately. Video production people fed up with Apple refusing to support equipement. PC software is fully compliant to the entire spectrum of video out there. The blessings of being an open format I guess.
    But, I love my G5 and would miss it.

  • Audio and video out of sync after capture from Canon

    Help for a newbie please?  I have a Canon XHA1S and have a problem after capturing HD video.  After capturing a 40 minute clip, the  audio and video are out of sync.  Seems like there is about a 3 second difference.  The entire clip is like that in the source window; I made a couple of quick edits and have the same problem in the program window.  Tried exiting and re-opening PP, but that didn't help.  I'm running PP in CS6 on an iMac 3.4 GHz i7 with 8G of ram.  Thanks!

    I have NOT used it, but many say to try this for HDV capture http://strony.aster.pl/paviko/hdvsplit.htm

  • Unable to properly capture HD video from miniDV tape in FCE

    unable to capture HD video from miniDV tape
    When I connect my Sony HDR-HC3 miniDV HDV camcorder to my iMac via firewire cable and use Final Cut Express to capture the video from the tape, I do not get a Capture window that allows me to specify in and out points, I just get a playback window that immediately starts capturing and the only option I have in this window is hit ESC to stop capturing. If I let this capture window continue to capture the video from the camera with miniDV HD tape, then the entire tape would be captured as one massive single video clip.
    QUESTION: Is there something I change or do to make the proper capture window appear where I can specify in and out points to capture from tape for each clip?
    NOTE: using same camera and tape with iMovie with automatic capture enabled, all the clips get captured properly. I also tried to use the manual setting in iMovie and it worked too.
    More details(read only if you want more information)
    I have a several miniDV tapes containing HD video created on a Sony Sony HDR-HC5 and Sony HDR-HC7. Unfortunately, both these camera were stolen, and I have since moved to a camera that uses flash memory, not tape. However, I need to get the video footage off these tapes, so I bought a used Sony HDR-HC3, it plays the HD miniDV tapes just fine and iMovie reads the video from this camera just fine, but Final Cut Express does not.
    When I setup Final Cut Express, I used the Easy Setup and specified:
    Format: HD
    Rate: 29.97 fps
    Use: HDV-Apple Intermediate Codec 1080i60
    These setting match those of the camera and recorded tape. If I use any other settings but these, then Final Cut Express never sees the camera and never opens any capture window at all. Using Quicktime 10 movie inspector on the clips captured by iMovie from same camera, all the clips match this setting too.
    Final Cut Express version 4.0.1
    iMovie 09 Version 8.0.2 (821)
    iMac 2.93 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3 running
    Mac OS X Version 10.6.4
    My Final Cut Express scratch disk is a Seagate 2TB external USB 2.0 Hard Drive that has been formatted to be Mac OS Extended (Journaled). This external disk is also where iMovie successfully captured all the video from the same camera.

    Thanks for the answer. It makes me sad. I thought using Final Cut Express would be an upgrade to a more robust editing system from iMovie, yet iMovie does a superior job of logging and capturing video from HDV video on miniDV tape in comparison to FCE. Not only does iMovie capture each clip on the tape into it's own video file automatically, it also includes timestamp information in the filename indicating when the clip was originally recorded, which appears to be something that is missing from Final Cut Express. Now I realize that HDV miniDV cameras had a relatively short life span in the consumer marketplace and have since all been replaced by flash and hard drive based AVCHD cameras, but from circa 2004 to 2007, miniDV HDV camcorders were very popular and I am sure there are lots of consumers that must be super frustrated by Final Cut Express limited ability to log and capture clips properly from these cameras.
    Assuming I do not want to make a rough cut of video in iMovie and prefer to begin my editing project in Final Cut Express (not doing XML export of iMovie project), I need to determine the best way to get clips captured via iMovie into Final Cut Express and determine if there is anything inferior in the iMovie captured clips that I need to be aware of. So far it appears that both iMovie and Final Cut Express reduce the 5.1 surround sound captured on the HDV miniDV tapes to stereo sound, which is not a big lose given the 5.1 sound was recorded from camera's built-in microphone, but it makes me wonder if the video is reduced in any way by the iMovie import process, examining the video in quicktime's inspector window the video appears to be the same in both iMovie and FCE, but I'll research the answers to these questions elsewhere on this forum and post additional questions if I do not find the information I need.

  • Capture HD video in Final Cut Express with a Sony HDR-FX7

    When try to capture a video from my new Sony HDR-FX7 using the HD Format Apple Intermediate Codec 1080i60 the preview screen never shows the video being captured. In fact the video is never captured. Any suggestions to how set the 'Easy Setup'? When I try to capture with NTSC format the software keeps looking for a timecode that it will never find thus stops within a minute of starting. I would love to capture some video from my new Sony HDR-FX7 but not having much luck tonight. Have any helpful hints?

    First, trash your preferences. Setting different incorrect settings and opening the capture window is a good way to corrupt the prefs files. HDV AIV 1080i60 is the only one to use if the camera is correctly set to output HDV.
    Please give your full system specifications, what computer, what drives, how everything's connected, what settings are on the media (you really did shoot HDV?), and finally what version of the software, of the OS, and of QuickTime are you using?

  • HDV Print to Video Problem

    One of my clients is having a problem trying the Print to Video an HDV sequence.
    The workflow is to capture their HDV clips as DVCPRO HD via an Aja Kona LHe, edit in DVCPRO HD, then send the project to another facility that has an HDCAM deck for mastering to tape. However, for their first edit, they've created the pilot show, and they want to use it to get more program sponsors. Their only option is to use their Sony HMV-M25U HDV deck and an HD monitor to show the pilot to prospective sponsors.
    To do that, they now have to output the pilot show to HDV. They've copied the DVCPRO HD sequence into an HDV timeline and rendered and conformed it. But when they go to Print to Video, they get this error message:
    "Unable to perform print to video operation for HDV as
    RT Extreme is not supported. Improved CPU Speed
    and/or RAM needed to enable RT Extreme and HDV print
    to video."
    They have a Quad 3GHz MacPro with 4GB RAM, and the Scratch Disk is a 2-way RAID stripe using two of their four internal SATA drives striped together. The boot volume is on a separate drive.
    They are using Mac OS X v10.4.8, QT 7.1.3, and FCP 5.1.4.
    I don't have an HDV deck to try to duplicate their situation, so I need your help. If you've done HDV and experienced this error message, what is the solution?
    They also have received these error messages:
    "The sequence is not compatible w/HDV print to video."
    "Incompatible settings. You may have attempted to
    output a clip w/compression settings that do not match
    the current output settings. Try nesting the clip in
    a sequence w/the correct settings."
    Both those messages would seem to indicate their setting are messed up.
    They are 1,000 miles from me, so I can't see their FCP and deck settings. They swear that the sequence is an HDV 1080i60 sequence and that the deck is set to record HDV.
    HELP.

    OK, I have discovered the problem, and it's a doozy.
    Her HDV sequence was set for 1280 X 1080, HDV 1080 Compressor, rather than 1440 X 1080. We have no clue how that happened, but it did.
    Here's what I had her do last night when she was creating it: She changed the Easy Setup to HDV 1080i60, then created a new sequence. Then she went to the original DVCPRO HD sequence and did a Command-C to copy, then back to the new HDV 1080i60 sequence and Command-V to paste.
    This morning, after I discovered the 1280 problem, I did the exact same steps and the new sequence was 1440 X 1080 HDV. I called her and had her do the exact same thing again, and now that new sequence is 1440 X 1080 HDV.
    She is now rendering and conforming. I had her make sure ALL of the render bars were checked in Sequence > Render All, and that she chose Both audio and video. This should do it.
    Now, the really tough part. I've got to re-read the thread and choose only two Helpful posts. Why can't we have as many as we need??????

  • HDV Print to Video not showing metadata

    I'm running Final Cut Studio 2 and a Canon HV20 camcorder. I'm trying to consolidate footage from one tape to a new tape using "Print to Video" but the metadata such as date and time doesn't transfer. It works perfectly when I tested with DV format (consolidating 1 DV to another) but HDV only transfers video and audio with no metadata, and I'm guessing timecode too but I'm not sure. The original tape shows metadata.
    I'ved tried with different settings. Captured using HDV Firewire, HDV Firewire Basic, HDV Firewire Basic NDF, AIC and print to video using HDV (1440 x 1080) 60i. They all record to tape fine but no metadata. I've even tried capturing and export to tape using iMovie with the same results (only video and audio with no metadata/timecode). What am I doing wrong?

    Nope, I'm not talking about photo EXIF metadata, I'm talking about actual video. If I play DV or HDV tapes on my camcorder the date and time of the recording displays in the lower right hand corner of the LCD screen and the time even changes based upon when it was recorded. I've owned 3 DV camcorders and used friend's and they all do this.
    When recording DV or HDV the date and time is registered somewhere. Even the new iMovie '08 will name the clips you import by date and time shot for DV or HDV (ex. clip-2003-02-09 13;57;34.dv).
    Again, I can import any DV tape (video) now, export it to another tape, play it and the date and time of when it was recorded is retained, even if I rearrange it's order in iMovie or FCP. This is something I've done for years. I just can't accomplish it with HDV. I'm sure it can be done I just need to see what I'm doing wrong in the chain.
    Please don't let my use of the word metadata confuse you that I think it's photo EXIF metadata. I used the word metadata because it just means "a set of data that describes and gives information about other data."
    Thanks.

  • 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 isn't stable when capturing in Premiere Pro

    Hello, I'm hoping someone can help with my problem.
    I'm on a two year old Dell PC, Windows 8.
    I recently installed this video capture card to work with Premiere. The card was installed properly, and the driver is up to date.
    When I attempt to capture video, the video is very glitchy. Only a few frames of the video is seen in the capture window, then a black screen. The audio plays fine however. I am able to record the video, and despite not being able to see what I'm recording, it does work. After I stop recording, the full video file is available in my project folder with no glitches at all. What's going on here? Why can't I see what I'm recording?
    I have verified that the card works fine in other programs. In Windows Movie Maker, I am able to view and record video no problem at all.
    Any troubleshooting would be greatly appreciated.

    The card description says it has 4 pin power connector... did you plug in a power supply connection?
    This is more about not capturing at all, and MAY be only for Win7, but reading can't hurt

  • Can you capture 1 video and author another at the same time?

    To save time with videos that are not critical, can you capture one video to Premiere Pro at the same time you are authoring to Encore a previously captured video?

    The short answer is yes.
    I have just done that and I am happy to report that it worked like a charm.
    I captured from a DVCAM tape via firewire using PPro CS6 while authoring a Blu-ray disk in Encore CS6.
    No frames were lost during capture and my test blu-ray project was completed without a hitch.

  • Unable to capture analog video.

    Hi,
    I am running Premier Pro CS3 on a Windows XP machine. This is a new machine to me provided by my work. I am trying to capture analog video from a VHS deck that has both S-video and composite outs. The IT folks installed an ATI TV Wonder HD 650 PCI Digital & Analog TV Tuner to use as a capture card. In the device manager it shows up as an ATI Radeon HD2400 card. I don't have anyway of discerning the difference, and this may or may not be the main issue. When I open Premier and try to capture, it does not recognize the card as a capture device. Any clues about how to make this work would be great.
    Thanks,

  • Capture analog video

    Hi, when i have a g5 with finalcut 5 i can capture analog video (betacam conected to a dvcam recorder then with a "non controlable device" and then "capture now") now, with the mac pro and fcp 6 i can't.
    there are no signal to capture, what can i do?

    The deck is in e/e if you can see the analog signal in the log and capture window. If you can't see it, it's probably not in e/e... keep looking, all pro decks have this function. The other thing you should be able to do is dub the source tape to the digital recorder. Make sure too the input selection on the machine is set up properly.
