  • Adobe Premiere 6.5 crashes when trying to set video output settings for targa 3k

    Posted by Lawrence Ogunlade on June 5, 2010 at 7:44 pm

    Please can anyone help? I have a targa 3k running on windows xp service pack 2 and premier 6.5 but encounter the following problems:

    * I cannot change video output settings; any attempt to do so crashes the premiere 6.5.
    * I cannot view or preview SDI video captured via the targa break out board when exported as avi in targa mpeg works.

    I am stuck with targa because it seems to be the only way to build native mediastream server file formats that can be sent to the server array via ftp.

    Please help out as i am stuck with these pinnacle servers that i cannot use.

    Hi Lawrence. This is outside of my current thinkbox but…..

    I used to run a Targa 1000 Pro board with Speed Razor way back. I certainly still have the Targa board in an antistatic bag in the loft of my house. (I soon after upgraded to a Digisuite LE)

    This URL is a good intro for those who have never heard of Truevision Targa kit:

    My advice would be to uninstall the Targa board completely and remove the board from your PC. Re-boot. Check that there are no remnants of the Targa software left in the system in the registry. Remove if so. If not shut down the PC and reinstall the card.

    Reboot and use the CD to re-install the software. And/or get the latest drivers (1.5 for 6.5?)

    Very often the problem is that the software has to know where to put its plug-in information. It needs to find a Premiere 6.5 folder in which to install certain components.

    Try this first. If it doesn’t work we’ll try to look for a plan B.
