PPro, DVCPRO25/50 and Decklink
Hi,
I’m working on an editing workflow for a new daily TV show, and I want to base it on Premiere Pro 1.5 running on WinXP SP2.
I would love to work with the Decklink SD cards, but can’t afford the storage requirements for 5 shows a week using uncompressed footage.I’m mastering on the Panasonic AJ-SD93 DVCPRO25/50 deck, with Firewire transfer available.
My question is this:
Can I capture my DVCPRO25 and DVCPRO50 footage into Premiere over Firewire, (possibly using MainConcepts DVCPRO25/50 codec, or does DeckLink have its own native DVCPRO25/50 codecs?), but still utilize the RT effects and transitions of the DeckLink, and still have RT output on the SDI and/or Analog outs?Also, can I mix codecs (between DVCPRO25 and DVCPRO50, and possible standard DV) on the same timeline, and still have all the capability of the DeckLink?
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
David W. -

Sorry, I don’t believe the DV codecs are supported yet in Premiere Pro on Windows.

Hi Dalen Quaice,
You mean that the DeckLink does not support DV codecs in PPro yet?
If thats the case, then it doesn’t work as advertised.
From the DeckLink website:
“DeckLink features more video formats than any other video cards with true 10 bit uncompressed, 8 bit uncompressed, JPEG and DV.With the incredible quality of uncompressed 10 bit video and Blackmagic’s renowned codec, DeckLink is easily the world’s highest quality video tool. 10 bit uncompressed is perfect when your client’s demand quality as 10 bit is video perfection!
Uncompressed 8 bit, JPEG and DV playback are incredibly flexible when the high quality of 10 bit uncompressed is not required and disk space is limited.”
Could you clear this up for me?
Thanks,
