Use of a capture board in Premiere Pro CS4

For several years I have been using Premiere Pro 1.5 with a Canopus Storm 2 capture card and drivers. It has been working fine for me. Actually I have been doing event video for about twenty years and have gone through a lot of Premiere progams. I went from VHS to S-VHS and then into Mini DV. I don't think I will be going to HD. However, like life, we need to keep up with some of the changes. So I have been considering upgrading to Premiere Pro CS4. I was told that Canopus is no longer working with Adobe and that now it is Grass Valley and they have their own editing software. They no longer want to let the user of their products use Adobe products. If this is so, then what type of capture card is working with Premiere Pro CS4? And what is the cost for my changing my system? At least a ball park figure. I just had a new OS put into my video editing computer and right now everything is screwed up. The Adobe Premiere Pro and Canopus seem to be working okay, but I am not getting anything out from my computer to my editing monitor and sound mixer. I worked all week on it and to no avail. For years I did event video and put out some fantastic stuff, now I just want to do some informational videos and nothing is working right. I am open for suggestions.

Okay Harm, that is part of the problem. Since I put in a new OS I can't get my video editing to do right. Nothing is showing up on my studio monitor that is hooked to the Storm 2 card and nothing is coming in to my Mackie 1402 VLZ Pro line mixer that is connected to a CREATIVE Sound Blaster Live card. I have done everything I can think of and nothing is coming out. I have everything hooked up just like it has been for the past five or six years. I downloaded all of my software - Previere Pro first and then Canopus and then Sound Blaster and the plug-ins seem to go in okay. What I am getting is a sound apperance on the Premiere sound screen and also a wave form on the timeline. In all apperance the Storm card and the Premiere are working, but nothing seems to be coming out. Also I am getting no sound out when I download music in Audition. I did before I replaced my Windows XP SP3 OS.
I didn't know that the Canopus Storm 2 had a conflict with PP 1.5. I guess I never experienced any trounble before.
I just now went into my Adobe Premiere Pro 1.5 and opened up a capture that I had downloaded into the timeline. Here is what happens. When I scrub the Capture monitor in PP everything works fine in the computer and the studio monitor and sound line mixer. But when I scrub the timeline I get no sound out, and nothing shows up on my studio monitor. It is almost like everything is reverse.

Capture hdv in Premiere Pro CS4

Hello
I captured hdv in premiere pro CS4,
the file was mpeg.
I wonder,
Why only mpeg file format?
not avi
There is no options in premiere pro CS4? - avi or mpeg

HDV is MPEG2 and capturing is only a tranfer of data, nothing more.

Need Help Fast Re: Problems with capturing in Adobe Premiere Pro CS4

I am working on a project with a deadline. I am using Adobe Premiere Pro CS4. My camera is a Sony Digital Video Recorder DCR-HC26. My computer is a Dell with OS of Windows Vista. I have been capturing numerous clips from hundreds of mini digital video cassettes. Yesterday, I attempted to capture from a Radio Shack Mini DV Metal Evaporated mini DV digital videocassette. For whatever reason it will not capture. I have never used one of these tapes before. Could it be the tape? After I click on "Capture," the screen shows NO PICTURE of sound, however, it plays on the camera. It can't be the camera settings because all the other tapes work. . . Any advice?

you need to post in the correct forum olivia.

Using new Adove Media Encoder with Premiere pro cs4

I have Premiere Pro Cs4 and Design&Web premium CS6 - which comes with Adobe Media Encoder cs6. Can I get Premiere Pro CS4 to use the new encoder (and hopefully speed up)?

I am on Window 7 32-bit that Premiere CS6 does not work. So I use CS4 for editing. For one specific project, I kept getting errors when using AME CS4 and it was extremely slow (8min of video estimated 20 hours). Someone said CS4 4.2 is really slow so I'd like to use AME CS6 to render project files from CS4. Tried that but got adobe dynamic link components error. I think it may be because I didn't include Premiere and After Effects when installing CS6.
Do you have success using AME CS6 on CS4 project file? Is it likely to make it work without installing CS6 one more time?
Thanks,

New tapeless camera support in Adobe Premiere Pro CS4

Take advantage of the efficiency of tapeless cameras. Edit files from the latest tapeless formats natively, including AVCHD, P2, and XDCAM EX, without transcoding or rewrapping. With the integrated Media Browser, you can browse your hard disks from inside Adobe Premiere Pro, find footage, and then import the content directly into your Adobe Premiere Pro project.
For more information about using the tapeless workflow in Adobe Premiere Pro CS4, see the following online Help topics:

What's a good HD camera to use with Premiere Pro CS4

I've used Premiere Pro CS4 for a while now and most of the time I don't have any problems, but recently, I've been buying HD cameras, shooting some AVCHD and then having a hell of a time getting them to play nice with Premiere Pro (or WMindows Media Player... or Quicktime... or anything but their crappy bundled software that won't let me edit or anything). My girlfriend says I should give up and buy a Mac and use FCP, but I like Premiere Pro. I'm about to take another camera back to Best Buy and I'm wondering if anyone has a suggestion for the easiest camera to use with Premiere Pro.
In case you're wondering, I've bought a Canon Vixia HF10 and a Samsung HMX-H100 so far and both had every issue I can think of from codec incompatibility to aspect ratios changing to A/V sync being lost to all-out-I-don't-know-WTF-just-happend-errors. I just want a camera that's going to give me a file I can drop straight into Premiere.

Unless you want a new computer, forget about AVCHD. It requires too much muscle to edit comfortably on anything but the fastest computer.
What camera is nice, depends on your budget. Formats that are easy to edit are HDV, DVCProHD (P2) and XDCAM. In the consumer range you could look at the Canon HV40 or XH-A1s, in the prosumer range look at the Panasonic AG-HPX170, Canon XH-H1s, JVC GY-ND250 or Sony HVR Z5 or Z7 and all Sony XDCAM cameras, especially the EX1 and EX3. In the professional range look at the Sony PDW-F355 or upward.

Can I export an .mp4 file created by Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 to tape using alternative software?

I am editng with Premiere Pro CS4 on a Windows XP system. I attempt to disable all startup and background software . When i export a one hour completed project to tape, I invariably get at least one glitch (momentary stop) on the resulting tape. Is there an alternate program I can use to export to tape an .mp4 file created by CS4?

Could be wrong, but as far as I know the only way to "export" to tape is to PLAY the timeline while the camera is connected via Firewire and in record mode

Exporting from Premiere Pro CS4 using Media Encoder gets stop error

I am trying to export my timeline from Premiere Pro CS4, using the Adobe Media Encoder CS4 to export my timeline as an MPEG2 HDTV 1080 24, and it goes for about fifteen minutes then I get the blue screen and my computer restarts, telling me the program had a stop error. Is there a way to go around this step? Another method to get the mpeg2 without losing quality? Anything I can do?
Please offer any knowledge you have before I scream at my computer again.
Thank you

as I know Adobe products are buggy no matter what hardware you have.
I am sorry, but my experience has been the absolute opposite of what you have heard, or experienced. I have used many, many Adobe programs for almost 2 decades (maybe even more than 2 decades?), and have never observed such. I do have to admit that over those many years, I have always had a "state of the art" computer, but have made plenty of $ using Adobe software. Even with my now aging workstation, things work great. Time to upgrade though.
When troubleshooting issues, they shake out like this:
1.) system
2.) Assets
3.) Project
4.) OE
5.) Bugs
This is after troubleshooting Adobe issues from almost the time that PS hit the PC, when they were only NNTP, in what, 1985?
Now, I am not saying that your issue IS hardware, but only that that is the most likely issue, given a BSOD. Also, system is the #1 cause of issues, so that is where I start.
Good luck,
Hunt

HD to SD using Premiere Pro CS4

Hi there.
I have imported AVCHD footage into Premiere Pro CS4 from my Sony HDR-SR11 and now I would like to export for DVD. The specs of the source video are:
Image Size: 1920 x 1080
Pixel Depth: 32
Frame Rate: 29.97
I watched Jeff Bellune’s video on ‘Scaling HD to SD Using Premiere Pro CS4’, and replicated all export settings according to 1080i60 (please tell me if I’m wrong here) but the resulting quality it poor.
The one thing I could not replicate was the ‘Use Maximum Render Quality’. I do not have it as an option under the Fly Out Menu for the Video Settings tab.
Can anyone help me with this?
Thanks,
David

I'm using the trial version....
And I am considering purchasing Adobe Production Suite CS5 and just want to make sure that I will be able to export high quality SD DVD's from my AVCHD footage. I watched Jeff Bellune's video on HD to SD using Premiere Pro CS4 and it explains it all clearly but I have been unable to use the ‘Use Maximum Render Quality’ option.
So without being able to see the end product, has anyonen else done this and be willing to tell me how good the DVD's look after that import? They pretty much look awful when I use all of the settings minus the ‘Use Maximum Render Quality’ setting.
Thanks and take care,
David
