  Can’t capture footage from HDV camcorder

  Posted by Costas Damianou on August 13, 2007 at 8:45 am

  Hi

  I have a Sony HVR-Z1E. I shot some footage in HDV mode on a HDV Mini DVD. When i try t capture the footage in premier pro CS2 and CS3 the camera starts playing the footage but it shows a Black screen in premier pro and all the frames seem to drop. I tried all sorts trying to get this to work but nothing is helping.

  Can anyone shed some light as to why this might e happening?

  Thanks in advance

  Using the Z1 I wonder how you managed to record on DVD? Or was it a typo and did you mean DV tape? Capturing from HDV tape will not give you as preview on screen. Use the LCD for that. Dropped frames may mean your camera is not correctly set up for capture. Check your camera settings.

  You should have the Device control set to DV/HDV, the Device control options set to NTSC or Pal, the rest set to Sony/Standard or Sony/Alternate 1 or 2, you will not see anything on the capture monitor except “Capturing”, make sure you are capturing to a Harddrive other than the one the OS/Apps is on.
