AJA Xena LSe editing experience
Dear All,
I have just got my AJA Xena LSe card. I started my
editing with the New Aja card after finish installing
into a Windows XP Pro SP2 with Premiere Pro 2.0 workstation.
FYI, i am using the card in a PAL environment.The editng experience with the xena Lse card was as below under
a PAL AJA LSe SD 720X576 Project setting:1) I am fine editing with a few captured uncompressed 8 bit quicktime
MOV. The quality is excellant. It was very responsive as well.2) Then I started to import 5 DV clips which is captured previously using
premiere native firewire ( which is lower field setting) I am having a
problem playing back the clips in a correct field order.Then i started to change the field order (reverse field order / dominance)
to suit the AJA native umcompressed upper field setting. it is the only
way the I can achieve a proper field order playback?
Can AJA provide an AJA PAL lower field order project setting in the future?3)Second to that, when I started to import more of the previously captured
DV files (estimating in about 30-70 clips) premiere pro shut down without
giving notice at the end of the import process. I also tried importing a Premiere
DV PAL project into AJA SD PAL project and Premiere shut down again. I then
uninstall the AJA driver and take out the card, and I try reimporting the
clips and project, it went smooth. Any advise on these situation?Thanks

Yes I concur. I am having the same dilemma with our LHe card. In the Premier project environment of AJA SD PAL, whenever we capture in DV we have an opposite field problem on playback (jittery etc)… we correct this by applying Reverse Field dominance to the clip from Field Options. I can’t seem to find any other way of playing out the clip normally.
Cheers

Thanks for sharing the experience, RED. I’m wondering any one who experience the Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0 shutdown while importing a groups of native Premiere Pro capture DV PAL clips or native Premiere Pro DV PAL project into an AJA SD PAL uncompressed project? Adobe Premiere Pro shut down automatically when i tried importing 30 to 60 DV PAL clips into AJA SD PAL uncompressed project. It goes the same when I import a Premiere Pro DV PAL ( 25 minutes project )into AJA SD PAL project.
need some help here.
Thanks

I don’t work much in DV format, and so haven’t done any mass or batch importing of DV sequences into Premier.On the other matter of Lower/Upper Field switching,… I have had a closer look at the problem, and it seems that applying Reverse Field Dominance doesn’t actually do that!!!
I have tried it with various DV clips into an AJA SD PAL project, and the system simply loses one set of fields and deinterlaces the sequence. This is NOT reversing the fields… try it for yourself, especially with panning shots… compare the result of deinterlacing the footage as opposed to RFDing the footage… you get exactly the same result… instead you should be seeing smooth pans, instead of that shuttered filmy look.
Looks like a bug.
FWIW

Do you, by chance, have the CineForm Prospect plugin installed?
(…or another Premiere Pro plugin for Matrox/BlueFish, etc, etc?)

“I’m wondering any one who experience the Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0 shutdown while importing a groups of native Premiere Pro capture DV PAL clips or native Premiere Pro DV PAL project into an AJA SD PAL uncompressed project?”
Yes. sorta. I am importing DV NTSC clips into Premiere Pro 2.0 AJA SD NTSC project. Same problems. It would crash sometimes with the usual warning, crash with no warning at all, and crash saying that premiere was “low on memory” (I have 4GB installed. This is a new error to me).
I recaptured in the uncompressed SD 8-bit YUV 4:2:2. So far no problems.
Another note: even editing the DV clips in a standard Premiere DV NTSC project created the same problems.
Never had the problems before the board was installed.

Hi,
Can you post your system specs, including what version of XENA software you are using?
Also, please feel free to contact our support group, at support@aja.com, or via phone to +1 (530) 271-3190.

Thanks. I have an HP xw9300 with two dual core AMD Opteron 270 chips, NVIDIA FX3450 video, 4gb RAM, XENA LS, software ver. 2.0.1. Running Adobe Production Studio Pro with all the latest updates from the Adobe website.
I just tried importing some more DV footage, captured a few days ago, into a XENA NTSC project. It played OK. But, when I added a simple disolve to black I received an error stated somethingalong the lines of “unable to compile video”… ???
I haven’t called the support line because I wasn’t sure if it was an AJA issue. I’ll call if you still think so.

Shawn,
Do you have any other third party Premiere project settings loading at the same time? (Matrox, CineForm, etc…?)
Or…are you running any other third party plugs? (Bauhaus, Magic Bullet, Profound Effects, etc?)

FOLLOW UP:
I am told that mixing DV footage and AJA caputured fooage in the same project is not recommended by AJA.

Hi Lowry,
Did you have any solutions yet, regarding the Xena LSe/LHe
with Adobe premiere Pro 2.0 shutdown when dealing with DV clips?
And any solutions regarding the Low system Memory ?Thanks
Daniel
