Panasonic AG-HVX200 Camera – Will it work with Premiere Pro 1.5?

[Dennis Tzeng]

Since the regular DVX100 doesn’t work well with Premiere Pro 1.5, I would guess no.

[Brian Deviteri]

I’m not as concerned about the 24p issues that happen right now with the AG-DVX100… I’m hoping they are currently being worked on by Adobe for the next release. I’m more concerned about supporting DVCPRO HD, DVCPRO 50, and DVCPRO formats as well as the P2 issue. I know Premiere Pro 1.5 can do 1080/60i (Sony HDV) and 720/30p (JVC HDV), it’s the other resolution/frame rates that are somewhat worrying me.

[Dennis Tzeng]

My point being, if they are so unwilling to fix an existing problem thats been there for almost a year, what makes you think they’ll add even more support for new technology that hasn’t even come out yet?

[Steven L. gotz]

What makes you think there won’t be changes to a software program in the 1.x category?

Anyone with sense understands that companies don’t just write new programs and then abandon them. Perhaps there is a 24p problem that did not get resolved, but that doesn’t mean the rest of us are not happy with the improvements so far.

24p is highly overrated anyway. I agree they should fix the problem if they can. But there are other issues that have been addressed and are working just fine. Like HDV.

Just because you think 24P is overrated, doesn’t mean that alot of us out there who don’t feel it is. Also HDV support was a nice added feature, but it also shows that they wanted to add a new feature rather than fixing an existing problem.

I also don’t appreciate your condescending attitude.

[Dennis] “My point being, if they are so unwilling to fix an existing problem thats been there for almost a year, what makes you think they’ll add even more support for new technology that hasn’t even come out yet? “

This is obviously meant to be inflammatory and so far from reality that nobody should ever take it seriously. If you spout nonsense, you should expect condescending statements. Just because you are upset about your 24p problem does not mean that Adobe is ignoring you, not does it mean that they will never support another new camera.

I can’t use the words I would like to regarding your statement. Ron and Kathlyn would get upset. Just understand that spouting irritating nonsense is useless. Write letters. Submit bug reports. Make yourself known to Adobe. Don’t spout nonsense on user forums. It doesn’t do any good and just irritates the rest of us.

Thanks for even more condecsending comments. My point was that if they don’t fix an existing problem for a year, “anyone with any sense” knows it doesn’t mean that they will never fix it or add support for new technology, it means that given the track record of not fixing existing bugs, they most likely will be very very slow to implement it. Also I have submitted many bug reports and written emails to Adobe, and so has many others. As for you, I find it funny that you as a forum “leader” are so biased, and any comments critical comments about Adobe are taken like I ran over your dog, and you feel that you have to insult me. The truth is I like Adobe products, I just don’t like their attitude about listening to users. Your comments make me think you are some sort of Adobe employee, or just blinded by your love for them.

[Steven L. gotz]

You exagerate issues with no regard to reality. It is irritating. Being a forum leader does not make me immune from aggravation with

I have my issues with the way Adobe communicates, but venting frustration with nonsense statements like yours is a waste of time. And seeing as how the same conversation has reached epic proportions on the Adobe forum (over 200 messages in the thread), I think enough is enough.

So your attitude is that if you don’t use that particular feature, then it isn’t important(to quote you “24P is overrated”). Then also, that if people are upset about it and are sending bug reports and emails, talking about in forums, they should just stop. Great attitude to have. Accept things as they are because “enough is enough”. Don’t talk about the problem, because it may upset people like you.

[Steven L. gotz]

Moaning to a user forum is fruitless. Complain to Adobe. Do whatever you want. I won’t reply to your complaints anymore. It is apparently also a fruitless exercise.

I didn’t say 24p was over rated because I don’t use it, I said it because the reason that film uses 24 frames per second is completely separate from the fact that it makes it more “film like”. It would be great to use 24p if you were going to print to film. But so few people actually do compared to those who think it will make their videos look like film, that I said it was over rated. Use a proper DP, proper lenses and proper lighting, and video can look very much like film. Even at 29.97 fps.
