capture through firewire
Hi,
I am an independent film maker from Houston…..for the first time, I am trying to capture and edit myself….when i use my panasonic camcorder to capture DV video into premiere pro, the audio captured is too hot sometimes….i get this loud crackling on the captured track in many places….
however, when i use the same tape at my editor’s studio (he captures it the analog way through a tape deck), it works perfectly.
i would like to know if the problem really the firewire or my camera? i shot in a Panasonic DVX 100B….however, i am caoturing in a small camcorder (the home video type).
thanks a ton!

Capturing DV is simply data transfer from the tape to hard drive without any changes. You can reduce volume in Premiere but that wont help clipped audio. Audition can fix, but it is not simple.

It doesn’t matter what deck you use for the capture, it is just a digital transfer. The fact that the audio is too hot means it was recorded too hot. Using analog capture allows for adjustments in audio levels, not so with digital. So I think you recorded too hot.

So if you dont mind my asking how did you manage to capture via firewire? Mine ( and seemingly many others) capture screen simply says ‘capture device offline’.
