Try this following, in any order you want.

1) Re-install Premiere Pro 1.5
2) Try with a different firewire cable.
3) Try with a different firewire card.
4) Try with a different firewire deck.

I have been in this situation once before and needless to say, I have never worked for this guy again.

Here’s the story:
We were editing a rough cut for a TV program and they guy wanted the project faster. This was something, that was not possible, because we had to load hours and hours of footage into the system and then edit it. They guy expected this to be done in 2 days. If this project only had a few hours of footage, this would be a piece of cake. However, that wasn’t the case. He got frustrated and told me to hand over all the project files, so that he could edit all night.

Before he left, I told him to pay me all amount owed, otherwise he would not get any of the materials. Well, he pays by credit card and once it was approved (in a few minutes), I handed everything over.

Now…I get up in the AM and see that the card charges have been reversed and my merchant’s account is on hold. Frustrating? Yes, especially since the invoice was over $2000. So…I call this person up, ask him the reason. He said “Oh! I exported the cut and the audio is terrible. This ruins the entire thing. So, I tell him, that I will be over at the studio to take a look at the audio files. What do I find? In an attempt to raise the volume, he some how fiddled with the speed of the audio, making it jibberish. Now, this guy, doesn’t know the JKLs of editing and tries to blame me for it. What do I do? Call up my credit card company. File a report. After a 10 day investigation, I get all my money back.

This time I got, kind of lucky. But, after this client, I have never worked for him, even though he has requested a few times.

[olwiggum] “Did the Windows Update affect it in any way? Seems odd that it happened at that time and didn’t affect the 100 gig drive.”

It may have. Did you update to SP2? If so, then it is very likely that the update caused the issues you are experiencing. Is the 300gig drive external?

It may not just be the motherboard. Try re-installing all your hardware drivers and see if that helps. If not, please post all hardware specifications.

There was a post a few months back on this same topic. If you search, it should come up. If you need help finding it, please ask. Thanks!

Hector,
Not all forums allow you to post. You have to be in the Premiere Pro 2.0 sub forum and not the general Premiere Pro forum to post.

Lee,
Thanks for your response. A couple more questions:
1) What are your output settings?
2) What file format?
3) What settings are you modifying?

THanks,
Aanarav

Couple of questions:

1) What is your capture codec in Camtasia?
2) What is the screen capture size?
3) What are your Premiere Pro project settings?

Would it be possible to be a little more specific? As Vincent mentioned above, there are various components that can affect the performance of the system.

Thanks!

I am not familiar with Encoder 2.0. Is that a separate application or are you referring to the Adobe Media Encoder?
