Capture window is blank! Nothing records DV and CS3. HELP!
For the past week I’ve been using my Sony DSR-11 DVCAM player to capture footage (PAL 16:9 via Firewire DV Capture) and now today my capture window is black.
When I use the controls in Premiere or on the hardware, the blue timecode numbers change, but it says “No Frames Captured”
I’ve tried opening a new session, and I’ve tried using an old session where I had captured, and now it won’t work.
I really need some help!
I’m recording to a drive that has plenty of space, so I don’t think that’s an issue.
Thanks,

this is (often) due to clogged heads on your deck/camera. Clean your player 2 or 3 times, and it may do the trick.
If you do not have a head cleaner, here is a trick that can help. Use an old tape with worthless footage, put it in your player, hit PLAY, then while it is playing, hold down fast forward for about 30 sec and then hold down REWIND for about 30 seconds. This is a poor man’s way of clearing up head clog in a pinch. Just had to do the same thing today myself as a matter of fact.
Hope this helps
