  Default capture format?

  Posted by Steven Cook on January 1, 2009 at 2:54 pm

  Okay, this is probably a really dumb question but how do you change the format premiere is capturing in? I have a canon HV20 that I’m trying to pull the video off of tapes and the default format is mpeg and I can’t seem to figure out how to capture avi for the best quality to edit in. I can export the clip in anything I want but the capture seems to be locked into mpeg.

  Thank you, happy new year!

  Unless you are going through a capture card that can change the capture format,you will likely capture to the format in which video was recorded. With HDV for example, unless you set yout camera or deck to downconvert HDV to DV, you will capture HDV. Look in the camera’s menu system.
  Something like this:
  Set to “play” mode> function button> menu> down twice to “play/out setup2″> select DV Output> select DV Lock.
