How can I control and see the input sound level during analog capturing on Premiere pro ?

[Steven L. gotz]

Since the capture over the firewire is digital, just ones and zeroes, and is basically just a file transfer, there is no way to control an analog issue like volume.

If you are capturing analog with a third party device, that is a different issue.

I have a Blackmagic Design Decklink Extreme capture card…. but i dont know any option to control and see sound input level…

I feel your pain…. There’s many of us who have asked for this same thing.

I’ve rehashed this often before, but if your consumer deck is -10 and your transverter takes -10 to -20 digital, like many of the consumer transverter’s do… and PPRO wants -12 not -10, your already 8db low in audio…..

And you won’t find this out until you capture….. Then you get to do it all over again!!!

I’m not suggesting that PPRO have meters & Scopes available at all times during capture, I’m just suggesting that it be available as a reference point prior to capture, so you know where your level’s are!

My Bad….
Should have said… Transverter outputs -20 PPRO wants -12 so your captured audio is -8db lower than necessary….

All were asking for is a way to confirm levels, audio & video, Before the capture, so we can verify correct levels before we capture!!!

Just FYI – Matrox Axio provides monitoring of audio input on capture with PPro, so it can be done 😉

I have BVW 70 Betacam SP and Leitch Velocity 8.2… it is highly professional while capturing etc…
it has motionjpeg compession, and can turn noncompressed if you want.. but commonly i capture 10 MB/S… and 8 bit… works great.. Then, i decided to buy a non compressed 10 bit 4:2:2 card in a different model.. i choosed Blackmagic Decklink Extreme.. and now, you all see, i have problems…

could anyone tell me what i can do ?
Thanks
