Canon HV20 and Premiere Pro CS3
Hi all. OK. Here’s my problem:
I recorded something (A friend’s concert thing) at 1080i, 24p, cine mode, all that jazz. Filled two MiniDV tapes full of it. First of all, I realize that yes, they weren’t HDV tapes, but I didn’t have any, and I went ahead and recorded on MiniDV tapes using those settings anways (foolish, I know, but I’m still not exactly sure why). I go to capture it to Adobe Premiere Pro CS3, and I can CONTROL the camera from Premiere, but I cannot CAPTURE anything. I can play it using the controller in CS3, but it just plays on the camera, and nothing on the screen. Can anybody tell me what’s going on? How can I get Premiere to figure this out?
Also, the Premiere project is at 24 fps, too.

Martig,
First, you don’t need HDV tape, MiniDV records just fine. You can not capture, probably because you have it set to a DV device. However, generally, you would not use PPro to capture HDV, unless you have a special card. You won’t be able to preview. I use HDVSplit instead. I still can not figure out, or perhaps it just does not, do true 24p even though your project might say so, it really does not.Perry

Hey Perry. Thanks for the advice. I tried a couple other sites, and they all pointed to HDVSplit. It works like a charm! Now I’m just having trouble exporting my work in widescreen format. I’ve got it all set to 16:9 and the original resolution and all that, but it still comes out looking like 4:3, so that kind of stinks. Hopefully I’ll find a way around that.

Marting,
Where are you viewing your final product? Do you have it set to view at 16×9? Download Mediainfo program to see what media format you have it set to export.Perry
