Why does Premiere CS6 drop frames in capture?

Why does premiere CS6 drop frames when I capture from my Canon Visia HV40 via Firewire 400

1st, more computer information might help... such as the Information FAQ http://forums.adobe.com/message/4200840 questions
2nd, some other software to try... to see if the problem is with your computer, or CS6
I have NOT used either, but many say to try these for SD capture http://windv.mourek.cz/ or http://www.exsate.com/products/dvcapture/

  • Why Does Premiere CS6 Output 29.97fps when Encoding to 23.976 fps?

    My project is XDCam EX, 23.976 fps. I exported to DVD MPEG and both VLC and Windows Explorer details report 29.97fps file format.
    I downloaded the latest updates two days ago. Just wondering why the encoder refuses to leave 23.976fps footage and project alone and convert it to 29.97? Render settings are clearly 23.976fps. Bug?

    i didn't read the forum i linked, so yes, i was wrong in the way adobe converts it to 29.97, pulldown vs added frame.  the output file will be reported as 29.97, but mediainfo can see the flags and reports it as 23.976 with 2:3 pulldown.  when i look at the .m2v file from premiere, frame by frame i can see the two interlaced frames from pulldown. so are those true interlaced frames or does the media player program generate those interlaced frames as a result of the flag telling it to?
    Telecine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
    Wiki:
    Reverse telecine (a.k.a. inverse telecine (IVTC), reverse pulldown)
    Some DVD players, line doublers, and personal video recorders are designed to detect and remove 2:3 pulldown from telecined video sources, thereby reconstructing the original 24 frame/s film frames. This technique is known as “reverse” or “inverse” telecine. Benefits of reverse telecine include high-quality non-interlaced display on compatible display devices and the elimination of redundant data for compression purposes.
    my understanding is the interlaced frames are real. it is 29.97fps, with 2 of 5 as interlaced. the reverse pulldown reconstructs a single frame from the two interlaced, dropping the fps to the original 24p. is this not the case with adobe's pulldown?

  • Why Does Premiere CS6 Render AVCHD?

    CS6 Production Premium Suite
    Win7x64
    Canon XA10
    I shoot a continuous one hour talk.
    Using Windows Explorer, I copy the BDMV folder from the XA10 to my project folder.
    Using the Media Browser, I import the clip (which consists of multiple MTS files).
    On the imported clip, I use "New Sequence From Clip".
    I do not edit the sequence.
    I then "Render Entire Work Area".
    The rendering takes awhile. Why?
    I thought Premiere edits AVCHD as native so it should not have to render if no edits occur.
    Thanks in advance.

    From Fuzzy_Barsik's  earlier link...

  • Can't figure out why I'm dropping frames during capture

    I'm dropping frames when capturing 1-hour Mini DV tapes and I can't figure out why.
    I'm capturing on a Mac Pro (Early '08) with 8 GB of memory running FCP 7.0.3 and OS X 10.6.6. I'm capturing to a 4 TB G-Speed eS (eSATA) formatted as RAID 5 (Non-Journaled Extended) with about 750 GB of remaining space. I'm capturing via FireWire with a Canon GL-2. This should be a breeze for this system.
    I've run Apple Disk Utility, Disc Warrior 4 and Techtool Pro 5 on the drives and they seem to be fine. I've unplugged all USB and FireWire devices besides the keyboard and mouse. No virus protection or background utilities are running. I've trashed preferences. AJA System Test shows a 286 MB/s write speed and 254 MB/s read speed. Blackmagic Disk Speed Test shows a 312 MB/s write speed and a 379 MB/s read speed. No other applications besides FCP are running. I edit 1080p HD footage on this system all day long with no issues but when I try to capture DV SD footage, I run into issues.
    The dropped frames error does not ever occur in the same place on the tapes. The tapes are brand new and don't seem to have any time code issues. The only thing I haven't done is to defragment the hard drives. I wouldn't think that capturing simple DV video would be that demanding; the defragment for a 4 TB RAID would likely take 2 or 3 days.
    Any other ideas on what's going on and how to try to fix it? Thanks!

    Thanks for the prompt reply, Studio X. Yes, I'm using FireWire Basic and no other FireWire devices. I've switched FireWire cables, although I doubt that's the issue as the cable I was using was brand new and fit snuggly. Unfortunately, I don't have an alternate playback device right now. Would switching to Non-controllable device capture settings be worth a try?

  • Dropped frames in Capture: Express vs Pro

    Hi, I'd been using Express for a year and a half; last week I bought and installed Studio Pro2, partly because of the following experience which surprised both myself and my lab instructor.
    I had a Standard Definition miniDV which resulted in many dropped frames while capturing at my house with Express on my iMac. Subsequently, I successfully captured the entire tape without any dropped frames on my university's computer which is a tower (G5? Intel?) running Pro (Pro6? Pro5? Pro4?). Out of curiousity, I tried capturing the same tape from the same camcorder using the same tower, except this time I did it with the tower's Express instead of the tower's Pro (yes, the tower has both applications installed). The problem of dropped frames returned, just as badly as they had been at my home. We are very surprised!
    Is there a reason that Pro does a better job of interpretting potentially bad tape than Express does??? I would have assumed the Capture algorithms to be the same, but that no longer seems likely. Does Apple know that there is a difference between the two applications in the success of Capture? Should they be notified, or am I being naive to consider that they don't know the difference?
    Thanks; have a great year...

    I just discovered my ''subscription'' response was off:-(( couldn't figure out why nobody's answered my last 2 posts:-)) I'm not rude enough to ignore people who help me, I'm just stupid!
    It cost me; two months ago I purchased Studio2 as a direct result of my ''problems'' with FCE; tonight I read your post and realize the problem was actually 10.4.9 + 3.0.1. Needless to say, I'm now on 10.4.10. Lucky for me, I get Studio2 at academic prices, and I will actually benefit from DVD Pro as I now own an HD camera, and Compressor, but I still feel stooopid.
    I have not been able to verify the school's versions of FCE and FCP (lab's closed in August), but it makes perfect sense that their FCE is 3.0.1, whereas their FCP was probably one of the earlier (non-offending) versions.
    Thanks, and have a great year,

  • Help Please?  Dropped frames during capture!

    Hello everyone, I am capturing from a mini DV camera to FC Express HD using a fire wire. I've been doing this for a year and all the sudden I'm getting a "dropped frame during capture" message.
    I have read many many discussion boards and tried all of your suggestions...
    Using different camera's, different tapes, different firewire cables. I've uninstalled and reinstalled FC EX HD and Quicktime. I tried turning off my external drives and using the internal drive to capture to and created a FC project within the internal drive. I have plenty of space on all drives.
    Does anyone have any other ideas? Nothing seems to be working. I appriecate your help!!!!!

    maybe you switch off the warn dropped frames during
    capture option... after that watch your clips... is
    there any problem still?
    I'm really worried now. I turned off the "warn dropped frames" option. After capture, when I playback, I get a warning that there are dropped frames, and then picture freezes. Help! I don't know what to do!

  • Dropped frames while capturing

    Out of the blue I'm having problems with dropped frames during capture, and no video whatsoever is being digitized to my scratch disk after I "abort" the capture with the escape key (after an endlessly spinning pinwheel indicates the failure, but the tape in my Canon GL2 keeps running anyway). I have a 2nd Internal Drive with 120GB of storage (45GB available). I have already successfully captured three complete DV tapes with no problems, and suddenly Tape #4 started dropping frames. So does Tape #5. Could a Quicktime update be causing this problem? What's up? Final Cut Express 2.0.3.

    has anyone really solved this yet? the apple advisory mentions upgrading to fce 5, but i don't see that that exists yet.
    i have a sony dcr-hc96, fce 2.0.3 (willing to upgrade), os 10.4.9 and having the 5-minute "dropped frames on capture" freeze problem. i've bought defrag software and a spanking new lacie 500Gb drive for my project. no luck. i've "hid the capture scratch folder from spotlight". no luck.
    i was having the issue, then, before reading the forum, unfortunately updated QuickTime to 7.3. but I was having the exact same problem in 7.2 or whatever I upgraded from anyway. I haven't tried to go back to 7.2 yet because it sounds complicated.
    does anyone know the answer to this: will the QT 7.3/dropped frame problem be solved with an upgrade to FCE 4 (the newest one for sale at the Mac store)? Or, will the QT 7.3 problem be fixed with an upgrade to OS 10.4.10? [unfortunately, i can't do the latter without saying goodbye to my Pro Tools 6.9.2 and having to potentially upgrade that software, too.)
    thanks.

  • Dropped frames on capture to SCSI Raid

    I am getting dropped frames on capture to a partitioned clean scsi raid coming in thru FCP 5.04 via SDI. The clip will run for about 10 minues (digitising to DV) and then the picture will freeze on the FCP monitor but the VTR doesnt stop (even tho I have 'stop on dropped frames' selected). I then hit esc but the FCP goes into a coloured windmill hang and then I have to force quit. Anyone have any suggestions? Yours deperately!!

    Thanks for closing the thread with your solution; hardly anyone does that around here.

  • Suddenly: Dropped Frames on Capture

    I've NEVER had a problem with dropped frames. I installed the FCP 5.0.3 upgrade, then had massive problems with dropped frames. In fact, I can't digitize anything: DSR-11, VHS with non-controllable device, nothing. I did the entire troubleshooting routine, then finally trashed my prefs file. Problem solved! I captured everything to my heart's content yesterday. Shut down the G5 last night...turned it back on this morning. Problem is back. Trashed prefs file. Problem won't go away. I can't capture anything.
    In troubleshooting, I tried my G5, my G4 Powerbook...all had the same problem. What gives?

    Hi Jerry
    I have the same issue with FCP 5, (dropped frames on capture.)
    My setup is a brand new G5/Quadcore.
    OS was installed from the factory and updated online to 10.4.3
    FCP 5 Studio, (installed from the Suite disk set) updated online to current updates for the entire suite, Pro Apps updated, etc.
    Memory in G5: 2GB
    Storage: Xserve RAID 3.5TB, with Raid Admin 1.5 and drivers 1.5 on RAID. All fibre channel connections are via an Emulex switch, (12 port.)
    Source Deck: Betacam UVW-1800, connected via component video.
    Capture Device: AJA Io, (original Io) updated to 2.1 drivers.
    I'm still having dropped frame, right from the get go, during capture.
    I also have a G4 with FCP 4.5 HD, (OS X 10.3.9) which I also connect to the Io box, (but not at the same time) which has no issues with dropped frames.
    Do you have any ideas why the G5 drops frames but the G4 doesn't?

  • Does OL show dropped frames sommewhere?

    Hi,
    Have searched help file etc. for info, but no luck.
    Does OL show dropped frames if the come while capturing? I am almost sure I have no dropped frames, but I would like OL to tell me if I get some.
    Thanks.
    /Ulf

    Live capturing with OL means a sustained transfer rate of around 3.5 MB/s and even USB externals should be able to handle that easily. Things get different when you go HD-SDI, then you need at least 200 Mb/s and no laptop can do that without an extensive external disk array, at least 4 disks in raid0.

  • Why does Premiere Pro CS5 eat up space on my C drive when it conforms video files?

    Hey everyone. I have Premiere Pro CS5 with the latest update installed. I am running Windows 7 64-bit on a 120GB Corsair SSD drive. I have set my scratch disk video and audio previews to a different hard drive (F: drive). I have three questions:
    1. Why does Premiere eat up space on my C drive whenever it conforms the video files I import into my project?
    2. Where on my C drive can I find the folder that holds all these conformed video files that are taking up space on my C drive?
    3. How do I prevent Premiere from eating up space on my hard drive when it conforms the video files I import into my project? Is there some way to move whatever folder is eating up space on my hard drive when Premiere conforms the video files and tell Premiere to conform the video files on another hard disk so I don't lose precious space on my C drive?
    Okay, that's four questions but, can some please help me on this? Thanks.
    Okay, that's five questions.

    hello,
    i think you need to relocate you media  cache files to a separate drive other than your c: drive.
    in the hardware forum, Harm has done a wonderful job at advising on HDD setup, i think it mentions relocation
    of swap file, media cache, etc.  all which are defaulted to your c: in your user profile
    after relocating to different physical drives (all without partitions) performance usually increases
    Generic Guideline for Disk Setup  by harm
    hope this helps til someone else answers more
    good luck...

  • Why does InDesign CS6 forget my preferences when I re-start?

    Why does InDesign CS6 forget my preferences when I re-start? Not every time, but often. It's very frustrating to have to re-enter all my prefs. Every once in a while I start up InDesign CS6 and the new document dialog shows page sizes in po (I always use inches) and the prefs all seem to revert to default.

    Do you have a Windows PC and when shutting down, is Indesign still open? If so, this can result in a damaged preferences when still writing while Indesign is being terminated by the system.

  • Dropped Frames During Capture

    FCE HD is dropping frames during capture when I'm taking video from my Canon Video camera and the three DVD players I've been using. Any suggestions or ideas?
    Here's my info:
    - Didn't work for either of these setups:
    - Canon to my iBook G4 via firewire
    - DVD player to DVD converter via RCA cables to ibook via firewire
    - My external Harddrive (LaCie 230 GB) is hooked up to my laptop via USB Drive.
    - Easy setup configured to DV-NTSC or DV-NTSC-DV Converter dpending on capture device
    Thanks in advance for the help

    Hi Lisa,
    Well, for starters you probably have less free space on your internal HD than you did a year ago - rule of thumb is keep at least 15%-20% free space on your drives, especially your system drive; more free space is better. Couple that with the fact that USB really can't keep up with the demands of video and it's easy to get dropped frames.
    There's also the question of what else you've put on your machine since last year, whether or not you updated OSX or QT since then, if you have anything else running when you capture ... there could be lots of factors.
    Have you ever run a maintenance utility on your Mac - eg. MacOSXCocktail, MacJanitor, Onyx, etc ?
