  • Digitizing to QuickTime using PremierePro CS3

    Posted by Antonio Scarpitta on January 15, 2008 at 10:55 pm

    Hello all,

    I am trying to digitize 40 one hour HDV tapes into QuickTime format using the capture window in Premiere Pro CS3 (Win XP). All I get is mpg format. I know FCP does this natively, but can it be done using premiere?

    Thanks in advance for all your help,

    Antonio

    if i’m reading the question right…
    What are you using to capture (digitize) the video?

    Hey slaughter thanks for the response.

    I am using a sony deck hvr-m15u to capture the tapes. I want to avoid rendering out since these clips are going somewhere else to be edited in FCP and time is of the ecense. Why not cpature in FCP? It’s a long story.

    So, can it be done in Premiere or that’s what I am stuck with?

    Thanks again for your response,

    A.

    Alright,
    So I did some research for you because at the moment at my job we are still using standard DV and I have only worked with HDV a few times, so this is not my strong point.

    -So, when capturing, did you go into the settings and make sure you can

    Hey Ben,

    Yes, i got everything set up right and you’re right,Premiere just doesn’t go with QT. I have done some research and the best thing to do is what I am doing, capture in mpeg and then render out in QT.

    Thanks so much for your imput.

    Best to you,

    A.

    Hello,

    You can use Cineform in Premeire pro, I think that records to Quicktimes via that in the settings in capture.

    Either Aspect or Prospect HD, http://www.cineform.com

    Thanks,

    Leo
