PP 2 compatibility with Canon XH -A1
Greetings,
I’d appreciate any insight,tips,practical advice & personal experience any of you pros can give or are willing to share with a novice user who is very willing to learn and get up to speed.
Topic:Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0 compatibility with the Canon XH-A1.
Does Adobe have a dedicated HDV preset for this that one can download on their website?
Is this application alone capable of capturing HDV video?
Is a $199 upgrade to Premiere Pro CS 3 mandatory or just recommended?
Does PP2 have any known major issues with this unit?My computer specs are a rather modest OS: Windows XP home edition/P4 2.66 processor & about 1.25 gigs of memory.I have plenty of HD space Does this have the basic capacity and ability to operate PP2 and the XH-A1? All I need is to capture, save, export to tape & compress.I’m not in the market or position to spend another grand on a new computer in addition to the XH-A1.If it takes longer to process things..to a certant exten that can be lived with.
When directly imported into the timeline from tape: Will it be compressed or uncompressed at that point? If compressed how do I uncompress it? What are the save & save as options? What are the file types? While on the timeline can pro successfully export the finished project back onto tape without crashing the computer?
Thanks in advance for helping me to become educated.

You should be able to capture from tape and write back to tape. Use a standatd HDV preset unless you are using 24f in which case you need to download some new presets.
It should not crash your PC.
Your PC is pretty darn weak for HV but it can be done if you like to take long naps while things happen.
The upgrade is nice but not mandatory.

It may have been. I am not sure, though.
