Premiere Pro 2.0 & 422 control
I’m a newbie coming from Discreet edit and having lots of problems controling a PVW-2800 Betacam deck.
First of all, I can capture & output direct without 422. Controlling the deck (play, FF, RR, cuing) is fine.
With 422 the issues are:
During capture or batch capture the video will freeze at the first frame & nothing is captured. There is a message after in the capture window ‘remaining disk space’ (sampling…) What does this mean? The system usually locks up & restart is required.During output the software will not turn on A1 A2 on the deck, I only get video. My work around is to manually do this on the deck.
Upon outputting a 40 min timeline the deck stops at 30 min with no errors.Do I need pipeline Pro 7.1? Is this supposed to be included?
I thought Sony 422 should be standard in any non-linear software.Help!

We are using PPRO 2.0 and AXIO HD. No problems with 422 control with Betacam UVW1800 although having to stripe tapes prior to assemple editing when printing to tape is a step backwards after the TC functionality of Edit*.

I should say that we love the fact that we can shange the playour settings with such ease when printing to tape (HD / anamorphic / letterbox etc..). This functionality on the AXIO is a real treat!!

Hi Pat,
I don’t have an 1800 but we have BVW-75, Digibeta and HD decks and we don’t have to stripe the tapes when outputting a project.
Just set the in point in PPro controller(9;59;00;02), set the deck to “preset” and hit the record button in PPro. Remember to set the deck back to “regen” when you want to do an assemble edit.Ken Adolph

Pat, I’m looking forward to using the ‘real treats’ after I get over this hurdle.
The Axio support line has been a real joke.

We haven’t had to call tech support yet. The COW is our first point of reference when we have troubles.
AXIO and PPRO aren’t perfect but I look at the package as first release (even though PPRO is supposed to be legacy software). Therefore we expect growing pains and are not surprised when we encountered things that are, shall we say, counter-intuitive.
If Ron L’s confidence in the Adobe developers is even half true, we should be able to look forward to a highly functional toolset before too long (fingers crossed).
