DVCPro50
I’ve got some footage shot using dvcpro50 format at 24p. I was wondering if Premiere Pro 1.5 can capture that footage and would I be able to edit it? If not, what format should I have someone else capture it so that I can edit with Premiere?
Thanks

With PPro I believe you will need a capture or deck card that does the DVPRO50. I don’t think it does natively, like FCP does.
If you don’t have that, then you should have to transfer it to DV 24P. Pro does the Panasonic 24P, but again as I understand its regular DV 4:2:0 not the DVPRO25 4:1:1 codec of Panasonic. Just to make that clarification.
So far all of my projects with Pro have been in DV, so if anyone else knows what I mentioned is wrong, please share.
Good luck,

If my memory serves me right, there is a DVCPRO plugin from Mainconcept, but I could be wrong…
Nope, it’s a codec but I guess it’ll work in Ppro. -
Pro50 support is absent on PPRO via firewire. You can capture SDI with a Black Magic card or something or you can add a Axio card from Matrox and use it’s firewire connection (at great expense).
Other PC software you can use Edius (with extra $ codecs) or Avid DV express (I think)or Pinacle Liquid Broadcast (I think). One of the codec companies, MainConcept I think, sell a PC DV50 codec, but I haven’t found anything that will capture with it.
Adobe is shooting their product in the foot by not supplying the Pro50 and Pro100 codecs, especially with the Panasonic P2 products coming along. I think they blame windows but they are big enough to solve it without Bill Gates.
