Sony HDV capture with V2
Hi,
Just installed Premiere 2.0 to check it out, but for some reason, when I connect my HDR-FX1E Camera, no picture is shown and I can’t capture any of my HDV material. Has anyone encountered this?Amit

Is this the trial version you are testing? I have heard that native HD(V) editing is not available in the trial. No personal experience of this mind, just reading forums.
Does downconverting in camera to SD work ok?

I couldn’t capture HDV with the trial versions of PPro v.2, PPro 1.5, or Vegas. I believe this is a licensing issue due to them using 3rd party decoders like MainConcept. If you buy PPro v.2 you will be able to capture and edit HDV natively. On my p4 3.2 ghz laptop, with 1 gig of ram, I can capture and edit FX-1 (60i) HDV files, but while the playback on the timeline for audio happens in realtime, the picture tends to skip a bit. At that point you can decide whether to get a really fast computer, (if you don’t have one already), or get cinforms’ Aspect software which does allow for realtime playback on my laptop and better compositing quality if you start using After Effects or lots of processed layers in PPro.

OKay, finally got the non-trial version, and have been able to capture HDV. however, video is jittery like hell. My computer has 1GB RAM, Nvidia 5200 video card and I USB-2 Disk drives. This did not happen in previous version.
What is going on?Amit
