  Tape Digitizing-what is everyone using to digitize?

  Posted by Greg Jones on July 2, 2012 at 7:10 pm

  Just thought I’d make an observation. I love the new Premiere Pro. It edits great. I have a Kona 3 card and video monitoring works great. I’m having to digitize footage from BetaCam SP for a historical project I’m working on and the capture panel seems to be very clunky. I cannot select a codec either. I’m ending up having to go back in to Final Cut Pro 7 just to digitize and I will use that footage to edit in Premiere Pro. I just find it funny that I cannot entirely switch to Premiere Pro, even if I want to.

  What are other people doing that still use tape and Premiere Pro? Or has everyone in the world, except me switched to non-tape.

  I use FCP. But AJA does have a capture app. And an output app. Try those. Or stick with FCP for capture until they nail that down.

  FCP here as well for capture and edit to tape.

  Greg,

  Premiere Capture is working fine for me, and I have a choice of codecs. When I open the capture panel, it lets me choose the Matrox Recorder as the capture format (after clicking capture settings). Then press the ‘configure’ button where you can choose a video format and configure a codec from the compression settings dialog. The list of codecs is long, and includes all the ProRes, and other QuickTime codecs.
  I see you use the Kona 3 card, so the choices may be different. Nonetheless, Premiere capture is working fine, particularly capturing DVCam tapes from a DSR 50 deck (component).
