Premiere Elements 4 Dropped Frames Reported?

Question

I know this sounds stupid, but I looked everywhere. My preferences shows CAPTURE: Report Dropped Frames. So, If I HAD dropped frames where does it tell me? so far I have had no reports, does this mean no dropped frames?

Answer 1

I may have missed something, but I cant see a response to the original question. With PE4, how can someone determine whether or not any frames have been dropped. As far as I can tell from studying the forum and Help, the only way is to do this: select the clip in Timeline, then click File/Get Properties For/Selection. This brings up a "Properties" window with a lot of data, but no explicit statement of the number of dropped frames. At the bottom of this window is a series of vertical blue bars, each of which represents the total number of KB in a single frame -- my test came out to be about 117 kB. I assume that if a frame were dropped, then that vertical blue bar would be missing. But there is no explicit statement that this is the case.
What I would hope for is a simple, explicit statement like I got in Pinnacle Studio 9, which provides a simple number during capture. This number is the total number of dropped frames so far in the capture process. Upon completion of the capture, there is an explicit number stating the number of dropped frames.
Does PE4 have anything like this? Is there any explicit number buried somewhere that is similar to the Pinnacle number? Finally, is my assumption above correct, that any missed frames would appear as a missing blue bar in the Properties window?
Thanks for your help,
