Batch Capturing in Premiere CS5
I recently upgraded to CS5 and I have been unable to get Premiere to batch capture. I select my in and out points and log the clip as usual, but when I initiate the batch capture Premiere seeks out the clip, rolls it, but does not record any footage. However if I open up the capture window and hit the record button it captures video just fine. Originally I thought it was a setting with my deck, JCV BR-HD50u, but I’ve tried the same procedures in the CS3 and it works perfectly! Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Batch capture can be a little dining at times.
Have you tried to rewind the tape before executing the batch capture? That can wake it up a little.
ps: if you have broken timecode on the tape (where the timecode starts from zero again along the tape) the duplicate timecodes on one tape can cause probs.

I have tried all the usual fixes such as the one you suggested. Premiere appears to control the deck normally. It seeks the tape for the in-point and then rolls the deck. Now normally when it begins recording a counter appears telling you the recording duration and amount of space remaining on disk. That never appears, it just plays the tape and does not stop when it reaches the out-point. I have checked device control and everything is correct.
So, I tried batch capturing the same footage in CS3 and had no problems! Therefore I have to believe it is an issue with CS5. I appreciate your suggestion, thanks

I think I may have figured out why my Premiere is not batch capturing! When I log a clip, it logs the video size at 1440 X 1080! The project however was created as 720p; it’s what the sequence resolution is set to. Why would Premiere arbitrarily chose the wrong resolution? I have checked all the settings, they all say 720p, is there something I am missing?
