Advice needed
I have just been asked by a friend in his late sixties to try and help sort out his video editing computer. I have no idea of the history and at this stage no idea of the specifications. But a question that I believe could be easily answer and may solve a lot of the problems.
Q1, Is Premier Pro capable of capturing independently of any capture cards such as the Canopus storm 2 or Pinnacle pro One.
q2, This machine has a Pinnacle Pro One card installed (I thought that Pinnacle had stopped supporting Premiere) could this be the problem.
Any help will be appreciated

Pinnacle never offered drivers for the Pro one and Premiere past 6.5. Premiere can capture fine from an OHCI firewire card.

Thanks mike for your response. So if I remove the card and delete all software references to it Premiere should become stable.

Premiere will work fine without the card…BUT…all your DV.avi video files on your computer that were created/captured with the Pinnacle card may not be playable or editable.

I have deleted all reference’s to Pinnacle and installed Premiere Pro. Everything seems to work fine and have connected the dv camera to the OHCI card but the capture window says the device is offline. I have set the options to the nearest camera on the list. have you any clues to the problem.

For thnigs to work, Windows must “see” both the 1394 card and your camcorder. Open Device Manager…is the “IEEE 1394 Bus host controller” listed? Any yellow !!!?
With the camcorder plugged in and turned on…is there anything listed under “Imaging Devices”? -

The device is listed and there is no yellow.is there anything listed under “Imaging Devices”?
There is no heading for “imaging device” even though the camcorder is connected and switch on. -
is the camera in record mode or play back mode? In case you didn’t know, it as to be in playback mode.

in playback mode thanks for the suggestion

After struggling all day to understand what was wrong I changed the fire wire card and the cable and this appears to have sorted out the problem of not seeing the DV device. So I just have to test out Premiere to see if it is stable. A lesson learned I think thanks for all your input Mike but… I maybe back.
