This worked exceptionally well.

I have been using PP since CS2. I am currently using CS4. It has never recognize my “Sony HVR-V1U camcorder”. Worse something has happened, most likely with a Windows update, and I can no longer perform Batch Capture. So that sent me looking and I came here.

All I did was download the program and ran the .EXE

I did not need to install the video or audio codecs. It did an excellent job of detecting the scenes and the end of the tape.

The only drawback I have to not installing any other codecs it that it is saving it to .m2t and I do not have anything other the CS4 to interpret the footage. Since I do not really plan on using anything in it’s completely raw form, I don’t really see this as a problem.

I had no problems then importing the files to CS4 PP.

THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!

Thank you very much for this tip. I am sure it is in the manual somewhere. This just saved me a huge amount of frustration, after I did a lot of editing and shortened my timeline and moved my markers.

AND

Thanks for the excellent information. I must be out of my mind. My hard-drives are all internal eSATA. No they are not nearing capacity. Yes they are defraged regularly. I have done different things with my caching and rendering files. sigh.

I remember seeing demo videos, showing realtime HD workflow with multi-cam, but maybe that is just it. Adobe saying what was going to be there, and for some reason, a change here or there and my config worked better. So I thought it was working. So why did I throw away $600 18 months ago, when I should have waited for CS5?

I feel like I was duped by Adobe.

Oh, and don’t forget that CS4 was originally billed as a 64-bit suite of applications and then we found that many of the apps, like PP weren’t 64-bit. Photoshop and a few lucky apps were, but not PP.

So now I can throw away another $600 on an upgrade, go out and buy yet another graphics card that is 6x more costly and then I can actually edit?

Guess I should have listened to the FCP folks after-all. Guess the are ROFLTAO!
