  Intensity software packages and capture modes

  Posted by Judd Wenzel on July 18, 2011 at 12:57 am

  I have previously had an Intensity Pro and was impressed however
  the two capture modes offered by the standard software did not
  work with my Edius software ( mainly because these were proprietary
  Black Magic software codecs). I am aware the Premiere and Vegas
  both work with the Intensity card but wonder what modes ( IE, DV, uncompressed, ect..) the software mentioned will allow this card
  to capture with? I have heard that others are using the Intensity
  cards and capturing to different software ( IE Premiere, Vegas,,,)
  and then being able to import into Edius with a known industry codec.
  Any help with modes of capture available with these would be greatly
  appreciated..

  Thanks in advance…

  Hello Judd,
  I think that your problem is that you want to use in your workflow solutions of competitors (Grass Valley would love you to buy their hardware):-)
  Edius supports a lof of codecs, so choose one (Uncompressed or Compressed? Long or Short GOP? etc.) and then you will able to choose the right software to capture, among other NLEs or software dedicated to capture, that usually have additional features.

  Best Regards,

  Paolo

  I am trying to find out what codecs say Vegas or Premiere can
  capture using the Intensity card. I have the Edius NX platform
  and have the hardware. It does not support HDMI or component in
  ( at least my version). The capture codec Black Magic uses is
  totally incompatible with Edius software. I have had an intensity card and tried to import Black Magic compressed and uncompressed
  into Edius, does not work, different compression scheme and frame rate that Edius will handle. Guy graphics and others have talked
  about others using say Premiere to capture with the Intensity card in a standard industry codec , then later use this in Edius…
  This works… The question I have was not your opinion of Edius
  or it’s value , but what codecs , IE DV, SD, HD say Premiere
  or Vegas capture with using this card… Please read the original
  post again…
