Premiere auto launches when detecting FireWire cam – unwanted Thread Tools

[Mads Nybo jørgensen]

Hey Ulf,

DV appears to be back in fashion.
It is many years since I used Windows, so did a Google search.
Reversed engineered that advice, and got this:

Click [Windows Button]
Type the word: autoplay. Click the top result. In the window that pops
up, scroll down to devices. For your phone [DV VTR], choose the action you want
to happen every time.

Do let us know if this worked?

automatically launch software on connection of device - Windows 7 Help Forums

I thought this would be simple. All I want to do is automatically launch Samsung KIES when I connect my phone. The autoplay window opens when I connect the phone and shows the device, I can select 'vi

Man! That worked. Mange takk. Still have the problem with the DV-stream containing time code breaks that make WinDV freeze. But that’s another story and at least I now know that Premiere isn’t the culprit.

Thank you for solving this, Mads!

Hej Ulf,

Thank you – happy to help (also thank you to Brie for the recoignition).

“Still have the problem with the DV-stream

Do you actually need the Time-Code?

Just checked, and it appears that WinDV will not allow manual continoues recording (Ignore Timecode breaks and everything else – just be stupid and record everything). You could try and switch off remote control on your device, to see if that will allow “manual” recording using WinDV?

But as you also have Premiere, I am guessing that it is an older version of PPro on Windows 7.
Is there a reason for why you do not use Premiere to capture the DV video?

As Adobe in its age of insanity have discontinued support for tape capture (don’t worry folks, Blackmagic has got you covered). I used the Wayback machine to find (recent) settings, which you may have a version of on your installed Premiere. Or at least will give get you started to find a solution.

I did a Copy and Paste from that stored page:

Disable device control

1. Open the Device Control Preferences dialog box by doing one of the following:

   • Choose Edit > Preferences > Device Control (Windows) or Premiere Pro > Preferences > Device Control (Mac OS).

   • In the Capture panel, click Settings.

2. From the Devices menu, choose None.

3. Click OK.

Note:

When device control is disabled, start playback on the device manually.

Capture without device control

If you do not have a device that Premiere Pro controls, you can capture video manually. You manually operate both the playback device controls and the Capture panel controls in Premiere Pro.

Note:

Preview HDV footage on an external TV monitor, or, if the source is a camcorder, on the camcorder viewfinder while shuttling, logging, and capturing on Mac OS. The preview pane in the Capture panel shows the words Previewing On Camera.

1. Make sure that the deck or camcorder is properly connected to your computer.

2. Choose File > Capture.

3. (Mac OS) If a QuickTime Capture Settings dialog box opens, choose video and audio settings appropriate to your project.

   These settings are preserved for the project, but you can set them again for each new project.

4. In the Setup area of the Logging pane, choose your media type from the Capture menu.

5. Use the controls on the deck or camcorder to move the videotape to a point several seconds before the frame where you want to begin capturing.

6. Press the Play button on the deck or camcorder, and then click the red Record button in the Capture panel.

7. Record a few seconds beyond the end of the footage you need, to provide room for editing. Press the Esc key to stop recording.

   When the Save Captured File dialog box appears, enter logging data and click OK. The new file is listed in the Project panel and is saved to the disk location specified in the Settings pane of the Capture panel.

Do let us know if this is helpful, or not. 😀
