  • Transferring from DVCPRO HD not working

    Posted by Lillian Fidler on April 29, 2013 at 1:42 pm

    I’m using premiere pro 5.5 and trying to transfer a DVCPRO HD tape from a panasonic tapedeck…Premiere pro is able to control the machine in that it can move the tape forward, or play; however, it cannot capture the datastream via firewire… From what I am understanding, premiere pro cannot capture this file format. I am looking for any suggestions and input for transferring the data. Perhaps another program or an earlier version of Premiere Pro?

    Many thanks,

    Lillian Fidler

    I assume you’re on a Mac and trying to capture via FireWire?

    Final Cut had the only FW interaction with Panasonic DVCProHD decks that I’m aware of…

    Premiere Pro actually was the first to be able to use P2 files directly/natively…

    So, if you can capture with FCP, you’ll probably be OK.
