No HDV presets available in Premiere CS3
I was wondering if anyone could help me with this issue…. I desperately need to edit some HDV video in premiere cs3. However, when I create a new project I don’t have the HDV presets available. I could create a project using dv and then attempt to change the capture to hdv but only dv capture is present in the dropdown.
I wonder if this may have anything to do with my pc capability. I own an amd x2 64 5400+ with 2gb ram:
AMD Athlon 64 X2 5400+
2.8GHz Socket AM2
Dual-Core Processor (OEM)Asus M2A-VM HDMI Socket
AM2 690G DDR2 mATX
Motherboard w/ HDMI
Support, Audio, Video,
and Gigabit LAN (RETAIL)Crucial 2GB (1GBx2)
240-pin PC2-6400 DDR2 800
Dual Channel Memory KitIf my pc is to slow for HDV, would overclocking help a bit?
I would greatly appreciate any help with this.
Thanks so much in advance.

In order to capture HDV footage you must be in a HDV project. If you are working in a DV project and try to capture HDV it won’t work. Start a new HDV project (presets should be there)… Capture the HDV footage being certain the HDV out of FireWire is active. HDV won’t capture DV either, it’s a limitation I know, but that’s the way it is in CS3…. i’ve got a feeling CS4 will be open to capture HDV/DV/Etc in same project.

Nick,
Are you using a full version of Premiere Pro or a trial version? I understand that the trial version does not support HDV editing (do to mgeg licensing issues) and would probably, therefore, not have HDV presets or capturing options.
I can capture HDV footage in a DV project or DV footage in an HDV project. I just change the capture setting like you are trying to do. My version does have the new project presets and the capture options in either a DV or HDV project.
You can download presets for Canon HDV projects from the Adobe updates page for version 2 and use them in PPro 3, but they along with regular HD presets should already show up in PPro 3 if you are not using a trial version.

Yes, I am using the trial version and that seems to be the problem. I greatly appreciate your help. THanks.

By the way, let me as you what you think about my machine capabilities to run cs3 and edit hdv. Nothing fancy, just cuts.
