Record to Desktop in Premiere / OnLocation MIA?

With the CS5 suite I was able to use OnLocation to capture video via a connected camcorder. And that was super. However, OnLocation seems to be missing in CS6. Has it been retired or is there a replacement or updated feature in Premiere that takes over OnLocation's utility?
If OnLocation has been nixed, Is there a way to do this same basic function (capture video and sound to the desktop via a connected camcorder) in Premiere CS6? What makes this more complicated is the fact that NO camcorders using flash / SD cards seem to have firewire ports and only come with USB connections - and video will not stream through USB.
The camcorder I happen to be using does have an HDMI-out port. If I connect the camcorded to my computer using an HDMI cable, will Premiere CS6 pick up the feed? And further, will "Capture" actually record the video feed? What about audio?
Any feedback would be helpful!

@ Jim,
Of course. But that is not the only use/purpose for firewire. Your'e assuming there is no desire to stream a video feed directly to the computer's hard drive. Many times its is preferable to bypass the whole file-transfer process, especially if recording times are particularly long and there is risk of running out of space on an SD card. Chances are, your hard drive is going to have more available space. Feeding video through to something like OnLocation directly also gives you a little bit of extra control over the camera/video, along with being able to view the video feed fullscreen, which can come in quite handy.

Can't get my MacBook audio to record audiio in CS6 Premiere Pro ?

Can't get my MacBook audio to record audiio in CS6 Premiere Pro ?
Am i missing something here ? It's telling me Premiere Pro is using the aggregate audio device,
though not sure what that means ?
thanks!

If your model number isn't showing up in Printer Setup then you need to install the drivers. After you do that you should be able to setup your printer and print OK. Make sure Appletalk is checked in Airport in your Network Pref Pane.

OSStatus error -108 in QuickTime while trying to record my desktop.

I am getting 'OS Status error -108' in QuickTime (v10) while I am trying to record my desktop. I get this error as soon as I hit the record button.
Anybody know what this could be? How to fix?

OK just zapped the PRam, no Cigar.
Personally, I did not think it would help. (As previously noted, I tend to agree with those who consider this more of a "contiguous" memory problem.)
see the 10.6.8 was installed freshly about 3 weeks ago. this MM functions as a server doing faxes, answering machine, print server and a few emails a day (iMovie is not even installed neither is Flip4Mac). so it is not like in heavy use. so I fail to see how their can be fragmentation.
Did you "wipe" the drive prior to your install? If not, there is the possibility of carryover fragmentation. I just checked my startup drive and found 709,236 of 1,991,704 items out of optimum order (36%) since my last routine maintainence optimization, drive mechanics test, and general "dusting & cleaning" exercise. Here is the graph:
Of course, I may process an average of 100 GBs to 200 GBs of data during a typical day of copying, converting, and storing video content. (Yesterday was a non-typical day since I had to "panic" backup 597 GBs of DVD images from one RAID drive to another because one array appeared to require reformatting following its latest firmware and dashboard updates. This was in the middle of copying a season of TV shows to my internal drive, converting them for TV use, adding them to my iTunes library, inserting metadata, and proofing the results. In any case, it appears my DroboPro will survive after all since I discovered this morning that the dashboard installer app as released by manufacturer support was probably faulty. (I.e., the embedded PKG file embedded within the installer application was opening Pacifist for installation rather than the Mac OS Installer.app as it should have done. In any case, I extracted the installer package from the app file, corrected the problem, and ran the PKG file manually to save the need of backing up another 7 TBs of data over the next week.)
In any case, to get back to your problem... It may be a good idea to simply see if you can find a program that will graph, disply, or otherwise reveal your current state of fragmentation. If the disk is not fragmented, then you can continue your search for an alternative solution. If it is highly fragmented, then you can try the defragmentation option and see it it works. In either case, it may help others if you post your results here for further review.
Best of luck...

Recording multitrack audio in Premiere Pro CC

Lately I’ve been doing fair bit of video recording, with audio recorded as multitrack with a view of remixing it in post production. The issue is how to sync it with video so I can mix the tweak the audio while I have video showing.
My current setup is as follows:
BMD Television studio – vision is mixed live from 4 cameras and fed into BMD UlstraStudio 4K . Stereo audio mix is fed from audio mixer into UltraStudio and the video recorded onto MacMini
Audio multi tracks can be recorded in 2 ways - either as analogue inserts from the desk into 24 chanel audio card ( M-Audio Profire 2626 with 2x Presonus 8 chanel analogue to ADAT convertors )
We also tried on the weekend recording directly out of Behringer x32 firewire output straight into MacMini - seem to work OK, and bypassed the need to use M- Audio.
The software at my disposal is Adobe Creative Suite CC ( Premiere Pro, Audition ) Logic 9 and Cubase 7 plus the standard BMD Media Express, etc. Audio is recorded on another MacMini
Do I need to keep the MacMinis in sync while recording?
Someone suggested using something like BMD audio to SDI convertors and embedding the multitrack into video stream. Will that still give me the ability to remix audio in post?
My overall aim is to streamline the whole recording/editing process. I don’t mind if we need to purchase additional software/hardware to make the whole process better.

A Very Green Question: Which Desktop for Premiere Pro

Hi guys,
First, please go easy; I'm as green as they come. I am looking into purchasing a new desktop for several functions, one of which will be video editing. I've been reading alot of everyone's suggestions on builds and systems ( 8gigs ram, say no to RAID 0, different graphics cards) - and most things are going over my head, so I thought I would come out and just ask the experts on a brand desktop.
My Current Platform: I've been using Adobe Premier Pro CS4 and Photoshop on (wait for it) an old Dell Latitude D830. I am actually very happy with what this laptop has done, but I'm looking for something that will take less than 20-30 minutes to render 2 minutes of video (although It has never had any issues running Photoshop).
My Intended Use: I will primarly be using the desktop for Photoshop (print advertisement/label mock ups) and Premiere Pro (5~10 minute Youtube Videos and the occassional 45 minute DVD) as well as word processing and other office related stuff.
I'm trying to keep the cost down - preferable around (or below) the $1000 mark, and I don't necessarily need to be on the cutting edge as long as I can get the functionality out of Premiere Pro and make a video in less than a decade.
I've been looking at the desktops from Dell (since mine has served me well over the years). I was recommended by one of their reps to look into XPS 8300. I also looked at the 7100. I have also read recommendations on different sites for the HP options.
My Question: Based on my intended use, is the XPS 7100 a viable option, or do I need to step up to the 8300 (or even a full blown workstation like the T1100)? And if either of these works, am I better suited with the comparitively priced HP's (HPE-510t/HPE h8z)?
I appreciate any advice you can give to point me in the right direction. I don't feel comfortable building my own system ( I've read that most of you recommend that). I just want to make sure I don't buy a desktop and find it crashing on me because it can't handle what I'm asking it to do. I figure anything is really going to be an improvement over what I've been using.
Thanks again for your help,
-Scott

XPS 7100: Wrong CPU (AMD is too slow), wrong video card (ATI), only 2 HDD's (too few), mini tower (too small), insufficient PSU, Dell (crippled BIOS and no overclocking), extravagant price. Those are the first minuses I can see on this system and no positives.
XPS 8300: same limitations as the 7100.
Look for a big tower, Intel i7-9xx or i7-2600K CPU, 16+ GB memory, nVidia GTX 460+ video card, Win7 64 Pro, room for at least three HDD's.
Avoid Dell and HP, unless they have a system with all the components in a single system as the base system. If you need to configure a system, they steal you blind on the add-ons. Where you can buy a HDD on every street corner for $ 80, Dell or HP charge you around triple that amount, around $ 240, where you can add memory for $ 40 per stick on every street corner, Dell and HP charge you far more.
If you don't want to build yourself, look at ADK for a custom build machine.

Crackling and glitches when recording voice overs in premiere pro cc

Hi,
I am trying to monitor my voice overs with minimal latency in premiere pro. I know that lowering the buffer size reduces latency, but adds strain to the CPU.
The problem that I encounter is crackling and weird glitch sounds when I drop the buffer size to 256 within the ASIO settings. I find it odd that my CPU can't keep up seeing as how the resource monitor doesn't show 'CPU Usage' higher than 10%.
When I raise the buffer to 512, the crackling and weird sounds disappear, but there is a slight delay present in the headphones.
There are no plug-ins or effects in use.
Would anyone know why this is happening, or if there's anything that can be done?
Thanks!
Equipment being used:
Audio Technica AT-2020 (USB Mic)
i7 3770k @ 4GHz
32gb RAM
NVidia Geforce GTX 670
Win 7 Pro
256gb SSD
2TB HDD

Yes. The procedure I went through was the following.
1) Add Mono Track (Audio 3)
2) Click on Mic Icon in Audio 3, in the Audio Mixer.
3) Click on Record Button. Watch it flash.
4) Press the space bar to record.

Importing a recorded Skype call into Premiere Pro & audio goes out of sync. PLEASE help!

Every time I try and import a clip it gets out of sync, but if I open the file in quicktime its perfect???

(Not sure why this response was originally rejected by the moderators, but am trying again.)
A solution that worked for us:
[EDIT] I do NOT work for any of the companies included in this solution, nor do I receive any kind of renumeration from them. I am recording the software and steps we used to overcome the problem of the original poster.[END EDIT]
The Skype Call Recorder (Ecamm) has 4 built-in converter/splitter apps (you have to look in the "Movie Files" folder to find them). We used the apps to split the recorded Skype video calls into 2 separate "conversations" and then used a free online converter (http://www.online-convert.com/) to convert the conversations into MP4s. Once the MP4s were imported into Adobe Premiere the audio lined up perfectly with the video.
Hope this helps somebody.

Recording a desktop movie

Hey, what is a good freeware software that allows you to record movies from your desktop? Thanks

Maybe the SnapZ Pro captured video has a PAR (Pixel Aspect Ratio) of 1 instead of 0.9 which it would be for standard NTSC DV.
The solution depends on what you are planning to do with your movie:
If it only has to play on a computer you could import the footage in a custom project (Desktop) where you would set the PAR to 1.
If you plan to output to DV tape or burn a DVD you could resize the video to 640x480 inside a 720x480 frame. That would leave black "pillars" on both sides.
Or you could re-capture at 720x480 with a 0.9 PAR (if SnapZ Pro offers that option). Should the software lack a PAR setting you could instead capture at 720x534.

Couple of thoughts.
30 fps is DVD quality. I would drop (-r 100) to (-r 24) I don't know what you are gaining capturing at 100fps.
You can also dump to raw video then encode the file later.
You can lower the video bitrate that you encode to (c:v libx264 -b:v 500k). Depends on how active your screen is. If you are just doing a tutorial of something then you may be able to drop down to (300k). Anything under (1000k) will be noticeable if you have a lot of movement on the screen.
This example gives a smooth full screen capture (without sound) (On an AMDx2)
ffmpeg -f x11grab -r 24 -s 1920x1080 -i :0.0 -an -c:v libx264 -b:v 500k output.mpg
This is easier on the CPU
ffmpeg -f x11grab -r 24 -s 1920x1080 -i :0.0 -an -c:v libx264 -crf 0 -preset ultrafast output.mpg
Another example using -qscale
ffmpeg -f x11grab -r 24 -s 1920x1080 -i :0.0 -an -c:v libx264 -qscale 10 output.mpg
For a raw video
ffmpeg -f x11grab -r 24 -s 1920x1080 -i :0.0 -an -f rawvideo output.raw
You have a raw video now so to play it, or take it and encode it.
mplayer -demuxer rawvideo -rawvideo w=1920:h=1080:y8 output.mpg
If framerate is dropping below specified while capturing with ffmpeg then, you'll have to lower the bitrate that you are encoding at, dump the stream as a raw video then encode it later, capture a smaller area of screen, or I hear that recordmydesktop does well.
EDIT: reason for edit, syntax correction.

Can I have my camera record HDV to tape while OnLocation records a SD version ?

I want to shoot my video in HDV. But for now im downconverting to SD for a standard DVD project.
Is this even possible ?
Is there anyway to record 2 at the same time ( example: HDV & SD ) ?
I want to have the HDV recorded to miniDV for blu-ray someday.
Thanks: Glenn

Thanks.
Thats what I was thinking.
Maybe someday they will make this a feature on cameras now that more and more are going to HD.
Then again maybe we could get rid of SD all together and move to HD.
I know for me when watching TV if i have a choice I only watch HD.
Got to dream.
Thanks again.

Record my desktop video recording goes really fast

Ok so i got recordmydesktop to like my sound card by using the wiki but it now acts really weird.
When i record something with sound the video will go more than double the audio speed and finish way before the audio ends.
Also i tried uploading a video to youtube of this happening but something went wrong in the upload and a 45 second video turned into over 2 minutes long and the screen being just green.
So has anyone had this problem and have a fix?
Btw: if it matters im using DWM as a WM

same.i tried rmd and it was a green youtube video.it was tried on linux mint 9 isadora at the time

How do I enable a track to record in Premiere Pro CS4?

I'm on a macbook. I have a SM57 mic plugged in via an XLR to USB cable. I have tested this mic via garage band, and it works and records fine.
In Premiere Pro preferences I have chosen C-media USB Audio Device.
In mac's Audio MIDI setup, I have chosen C-media USB Audio Device as Default Input.
In Premiere Pro, I have clicked on Audio 1 to highlight that's the track I want to record to.
Yet when I click on the Mic picture in the Audio Mixer to enable track for recording, it does nothing, no drop down box, no indication that I clicked it (other than highlighting itself in yellow for a brief moment).
Then I click the record button, it starts flashing, waiting for me to click play.
Then I click play and a message comes up "You cannont record without enabling at least one track for recording"
Where am I going wrong?
Any help is much appreciated.

ASIO4All - that's for Windows only, right? I'm on a mac.
I've been looking into using Soundbooth, which does recognise my USB connection.
Any tips for workflow between Premiere Pro and Soundbooth?
At the moment it looks like I'll have to edit my video footage first (it has no audio track),
then having watched the rough cut, record my voiceover in Soundbooth, adjust levels etc.
then import those voiceover files into Premiere Pro and edit them in timeline to match my video.
Not exactly ideal.
Is there any way of watching the rough cut while recording the voiceover?
Or am I better off recording the voiceover in Premiere Pro with my rubbish Line in connection, then taking it into Soundbooth to boost/clean up?
Thanks

Can you record a video from your desktop screen in HD with QuickTime Pro ?

I need to play a video on my computer and record it in the highest possible quality. I came across a program called CamStudio that says it can record your desktop in HD - so I wasnt sure if QuickTime Pro 7 can do that as well.
If someone is also familiar with what kind of computer or monitor i should play my video off of for best quality - i welcome answers to that as well.

QuickTime Player Pro can't record the screen.
QuickTime X can record the screen (but only all of it and not just a window). It's a part of Snow Leopard.
