Premiere Freezes After Capture

After capturing footage on an HDV miniDV from my camera the screen pretty much goes white.  It's right after the "Save Captured Clip" box comes up and I name the clip.  It seems to have a problem closing the capture window and loading the new clip into the project box.
Also, after capture and after clicking OK in the "Save Captured Clip" box a window pops up telling me there was a problem with video playback.  But since I was able to hit cancel after the first time it pops up after capturing and continue on to the "Save Captured Clip" box, I figured it wasn't too big of a deal that I not be able to see the footage in the capture screen.
A completely usable clip is successfully saved to my scratch that I can edit.  But I don't want this happening every time I want to capture.
My Workflow:
Turn my computer on.
Connect my camcorder through firewire.
Turn camcorder to VCR mode.
Open Premiere.
Open or start a project.
Open the capture window.
Click the record button.
Click the stop button. (a window comes up telling me there was a problem with video playback but it keeps going anyway)
The "Save Captured Clip" box comes up and I name it and click OK (the window telling me there was a problem with video playback comes up again)
Thanks!

Try this for HD capture

  • Premiere Freezes During Capture

    I have a problem with Premiere freezing during capture, consistently at 17 minutes, around 25 seconds. 
    I am capturing from a Blackmagic Decklink SDI card, 720p 59.94, ProRes 422 HQ.  I've also tried LT. 
    I am running Premiere 6.0.2 on OS 10.6.8 on a Mac Pro.  My 1TB disk is empty and still has 900GB available after 17min of capturing.
    Any ideas?

    I have the exact same problem. The diference is im capturing from another device (Sharp Video 8 camera connected to BlackMagic Intensity Shuttle for Thunderbolt). Premiere doesnt freeze, only the capture window shows freezed image, at some random point, first it was almost like afer 1hr of recording but now is at any time, sometimes after secconds. Sometimes i can still hit stop and the filename window appears so i can save the file, but other times it doesnt. I hit stop and nothing, so i try to hit record again and it starts recording again, i can tell because another file is created, but the previous file is corrupt (i suppose because it isnt closed by premiere).
    I have a MacBook Pro Retina 16gb RAM 512 GB SSD, i dont think the computer has no capacity for handling this...

  • 17" MacBook Pro freezes after Capture to external hard drive!!!!!! HELP!!

    Ok, so i just got my new MacBook Pro and Final Cut Studio last week, and i was so excited, until this happened. I was trying to log and capture a clip to my 500GB LaCie Big Disk and everything seemed to be going fine until the clip got to the end of it's alloted time and then the computer just froze. When I closed the lid and let the laptop sleep and opened it again the clip is in place and everything seems fine. I tried capturing then w/ the LaCie plugged into the FW8oo port and my miniDV Deck plugged into the FW4oo, and it froze again after capture and then worked fine after closing the lid. Thinking I was crowding my Fire Wire bus I hooked up an external USB 2.0 drive and my deck to the fire wire , but the same thing happened. So then I tried capturing to my internal and it worked fine. I've captured to an external on my 17" iMac G5 w/ Final Cut HD for years and never had a problem. Any tips? This closing the lid thing just isn't going to work.
    MacBook Pro 17"   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    nope, david is right on the mark. powermacs with one firewire bus choke like this. i can't understand why apple continues to design with one firewire bus but i'm not a designer. anyone, ANYONE who uses firewire harddrives and firewire tape machines/cameras for editing NEEDS to invest in a seperate sort of firewire card (pick your flavor) and then we'd see this behavior go away. then there will be those that will whine "this never happened before!" it's happening now, firewire cards a cheap insurance against these issues.

  • Premiere Freeze after videoCard Change

  • Premiere freezes after sending to encoder

    So I'm running the latest version of CC. I've got a very simple and straight forward timeline. After sending "Exporting Media" via queue to Media Encoder, everything exports fine. But after returning to Premiere, it has become impossibly slow--practically frozen. No crash, no error message, just takes about 60 seconds for any clicks to register. I click save project, and the saving progress bar does not visibly progress, yet it seems to actually successfully save the project, because closing and launching premiere, the file is saved up-to-date just fine.
    So for the past few days, I've been saving --> export/queue timeline --> quit premiere --> allow queue to complete --> then relaunch premiere... Of course, this is only a temporary work around.
    Now, if I "Export" the media only without queueing in Encoder, it does fine and premiere remains stable and normal.
    Ideas?

    You have not provided any system info or other technical details like your sequence settings or footage used, so nobody can know anything. Either way, ask in the Premiere forum and provide al lthat necessary info.

  • Adobe Premiere freezing after most recent update

    Hey all,
    I posted in here a while back because I was working with MTS files and seemed to be having an issue out of the blue with my projects freezing, where the video would play, but the cursor and anything I would click or move would not respond.
    I ended up transcoding to Prores and finished the edit. 
    BUT!!!  Even in the prores version this happened again, and I finally tied it to the universal counting leader.  Now I've used this thing many times before with no problems.  But since the most recent update (I'm now running CC v8.1.0) this keeps happening!  If I have the leader in the projects window and the timeline (or just the projects window) it's starts to freeze and behave like this.
    I'm not sure if it's only isolated to the universal counting leader, but if I delete it from my project, save and reopen, everything runs smoothly!
    Anybody have this issue or know why this is happening since the update?
    Thanks.

  • Audio out of sync in premiere pro cs6 after capturing

    Hi, some of my footages are out of audio sync after capturing.
    I have an imac with 3.4 Ghz intel i7 processor, 16gig ram, ssd card  ( august 2012)
    I have a sony hvr-z1 with tape.
    Does anyone know how to solve this problem?
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Good morning Lynn,
    I doubt this will help, but whenever I have issues importing tapes, I try
    something else. I double check the software's manual because
    sometimes, even if I have done the same thing several times, I add
    or miss something. If that does not work I close the program and restart
    the computer and camcorder and try again ... with a different tape. If
    that doesn't work I use a different program. I use an old HP workstation
    I paid $99 for on Ebay that's running XP and I capture with Scenalyzer.
    Then I copy file to a USB drive and input to Premiere. Sorry, I figure the
    problem is me, not the hardware or software and it usually is me because
    when the next project comes along PP usally imports fine.

  • FCP 4.0 issue - using capture now, freezes after 5 minutes

    Capturing miniDV to FCP 4.0 using capture now on external drive. Never had any problems in the past, but now FCP freezes after a little more than 5 minutes of capturing. I have to force quit. When I find the file on my hard drive it's about 10 GB. Haven't used FCP in several months. Is it possible some settings got screwed up? No problem capturing via iMovie 4.0 so the problem doesn't seem to be with the drive.
    Any assistance would be very much appreciated.

    Just to reiterate what Shane and David told you. Updating to QT 7.4 is probably not going to solve your issue. It might make things worse though. You need to do what they said and get your quicktime version they recommended. Now, if it works for you, fantastic, but there have been enough posts on this topic and chances are very slim to null that QT 7.4 will work for your version of Final Cut.
    And please be prepared to do an erase and install if the archive and install does not work.
    One more idea might be to use a program called Pacifist. (Search the forum for Quicktime and Pacifist) You may be able to use that. Anyone can correct me if I am wrong here.

    I used to export cut clips to tape (version 9.0)  but recently I bought the 13.0 version of PREMIERE and after cutting (etc) - to keep having the exàct same video-quality as what I IMPORTED/CAPTURED via an (analog) source - I export cut material simply to external HDs (so, actually to the computer)... but whatever I am trying  I notice that when I check the export-material with the original clip the first is NOT ONLY SMALLER but ALSO DOES NOT SEEM TO HAVE THE SAME RESOLUTION, DETAILNESS, SHARPNESS (or whatever you may call it) as what I origanally captured !! ... What am I  doing wrong? WHICH SETTINGS DO I HAVE TO MAKE - at least- IN ORDER TO KEEP THE SAME IMAGE-QUALITY (or even to enhance it) IN STORING ON THE COMPUTER ?!     Thanks, RVH

  • CS3 - Video freezes on Capture and Playback - Please Help!

    Hello all,
    Here's the problem:
    When Capturing footage via firewire from Mini DV, shot in standard DV, within a standard NTSC-DV Widescreen 48k Project, the picture freezes after 1 second.  The audio can still be heard and the footage actually does get captured.  However, after the footage has been conformed, and we load the clip into the Source Window and hit play, the video again freezes after 1 second of play.  Again, the audio keeps playing and you can move the marker anywhere on the clip and see that all the footage is indeed there, but as soon as you go to play it from any point - same thing, the picture freezes after 1 second of play, making editing impossible.  The clip is being captured as an .avi and all capture settings appear to be correct.
    Here's the kicker:
    - HDV video captures and plays back fine.
    - The DV video captured correctly at first, this has been a recent problem going on now for several weeks, after no changes to the system.
    - The biggest kicker - after trying successfully to capture, playback and edit HDV video, we closed Premiere, reopened, tried to play the previously captured DV footage and it played just fine suddenly!!!  Then we closed the program, re-opened and tried again - back to the freezing problem and it never played back fine again...
    Here's the specs (I can give more specifics later if needed, it's my partner's computer):
    Sony PD-150 DV-Cam (but recording on Mini DV in standard DV mode, not DV-Cam)
    Windows 7
    Intel Core i7 3.20 ghz
    Asus X58 Motherboard with onboard Audio and Firewire
    6 GB Ram
    Nvidia Geforce 9 Series with PhysX
    Please help if you have any idea how to solve a crazy problem like this.  Thank you!!!

  • Media encoder freezes after 4.2 update installation

    Hey guys,
    I´m in a middle of a huge project and I updated premiere and media encoder to a new 4.2 version. After that I can´t get anything out of premiere cause every time I try to export media encoder totally freezes after couple of seconds after I´ve pushed start queue. I can´t do nothing but to force to quit. It happens while it is still loading the project and haven´t started to encode yet. What´s the problem here?
    I´m on mac pro 8-core and cs4 master collection

    How long did you wait before force quitting?  If it was only a minute or two, try longer.
    If that doesn't work, then remove all of the old queue items from the AME.
    Then save your Pr project, and clean the media cache database from Edit | Preferences.
    Reboot and try again.
    If all of that fails, then trash your Pr and AME preferences and try again.

  • Looping audio after capture

    I'm capturing into CS3 premiere pro - Cannon Vixia HV30 and HV40 cameras, HDV 1080i30 (i60) project settings.
    When playing the video in the timeline after capture, the audio in many spots loops and repeats on itself.  The raw captured video when played via a media player works fine.  Any suggestions on audio settings or a fix for this problem.  Attached is a screen capture of my project settings.

  • Freeze after import from built-in iSight

    I go to File > Import from Camera..., record my lovely visage, and then I click Done. iMovie imports the new video just fine, I see it pop up in the little clips tray, but then I'm faced with a problem.
    The capture window is still open and if I click the "Done" button or close the capture window, iMovie just freezes and I have to force quit.
    When I re-open iMove, everything is fine, my project and the new clip still exist, but I've just wasted a lot of time.
    It happens every time and it's really frustrating. What's going on?
    Console offers little of interest...

    There are a few other threads out there based on iMovie freezing after importing, but most are people importing from other devices, not the built-in iSight camera. None has any good advice about how to correct it, that I can see.
    I suppose the good news is it's not a problem endemic to the iSight camera capture option itself. I'm willing to bet it has something to do with disk fragmentation or dropped frames during capture -any of which a standard NLE would tell you about instead of crashing.
    I guess the usual salvo of countermeasures are called for: verify the target volume using disk utility, defragment the drive, try building a new user account on your Mac and try the capture again (just to rule out any unruly preferences in your current config). Worst case, reinstall iMovie and see if it keeps happening. Now, having said all that, I haven't actually taken the time to try it myself. So, grain of salt, and all that.

  • Premiere freezes when opening Help PDF file

    When I click help in the help menu, the PDF opens right away, but then Premiere freezes for about 40 seconds. I suspect it is trying to download some Internet content, but this behavior needs to be fixed. My Mac Pro is connected to an AirPort Extreme via wifi, but this network is not connected to the Internet, it's just for internal file transfers. If I turn off the computer's wifi, this problem does not happen. I get the same symptoms with Premiere, After Effects, an Media Encoder. All of the help PDFs are downloaded already and show current in Adobe Help.

    Hi, spookybathtub,
    Just confirming that you're running Premiere Pro CS6?
    Thanks,
