How? Well OK but this is only for you so keep it a secret…
1/ Open a new PPro 2 project
2/ select the ‘custom’ tab
3/ select DV PAL (or NTSC) from the drop downs
4/ click on ‘playback settings’
5/ in ‘external device’ select the BMD device (will show as a monitor number)
6/ set everything else as necessary
7/ save it as a preset for future useThe above will create an XML file in the edit preset folder of PPro.

You can also use the Decklink card as an external monitor in a native Premiere DV project.

DITTO what Niel said; never had a reject!

I recently did a simple ‘capture now’ with FCP from a HDCAM decks’ SD firewire out and all the clips played 10 frames earlier than the timecode slates.
The following day I had time to chase this problem up and turned on the ‘burnt in timecode’ on the capture and everything was accurate!?!
Maybe our problems are related? Was your timecode 10 frames early? Anyhow, this issue hasn’t re-appeared since but I live in fear of it occuring again and not detecting it!

moonface… I aint here to help you but give you a little confidence… I only JUST moved into FCP from PPro (never even owned an Apple before!). I had all the HDV gear so once I loaded up FCP (5.1.4) etc I plugged in the camera hit the required buttons and edited a job… and I haven’t read any manuals or had any formal training on FCP. The only thing I haven’t done yet is get the finished job back out to tape… so my point?… a seasoned user like you should be able to work it out nose sweat!

I have found the ultimate solution for these timecode jumps… USE FINAL CUT PRO
If you use the ‘capture now’ feature with FCP it will detect the breaks/jumps in timecode and create separate clips with the associated correct timecodes; ideal when using “time of day” timecode as used in multicamera broadcast applications.
NOW… my next big problem is that all the FCP clips play the wrong timecode in Premiere; in fact they all start at 08:06:40:00 AND RUN BACKWARD when playing a clip… I guess I will have to edit on FCP as well now. I am now thinking the ‘pro’ in Premiere has a different meaning than the ‘pro’ in Final Cut.

[Steven L. Gotz] “there are more Pros using FCP than Premiere Pro”
Seems to be the case and the sad thing is that it doesn’t necessarity have to be that way. I think this has happened because…
1/ Adobe Premiere had a ‘toy’ reputation when it first came out and it was exaserbated by the Avid people worried about losing their client base…
2/ Apple’s marketing machine. I still remember back in the mid 90’s people use to say “you can only do multimedia on a Mac”. Funny thing is many people still do believe that!
What I find fascinating is that I have full uncompressed SD and HD PPro edit suites doing MAJOR television for the international marketplace so the ‘PRO’s can quite easily use both the PC platform AND Premiere Pro; but evolution has created the current scenario.
I have been overwhelmed in recent weeks by many people wanting to use my recently installed uncompressed FCP system to master their projects. I could quite easily do it on any of my PPro systems but these are FCP people who don’t know anything BUT FCP!
If Fiats became the car that Pro editors drive would that mean I would have to go buy one as well as I consider myself a pro? Very interesting indeed….

(PS. If pro’s use FCP then does that mean con’s use PPRo?) -
[Aanarav Sareen] “It isn’t possible (and I will admit that this is a HUGE!!!!! problem)”
Oh but it is possible and forms the majority of my mastering workflow.
If you are using an SDI interface into a digibeta deck all you need to do is use a PPRO ‘5.1 audio sequence’ and pan front and back accordingly. The front becomes 1+2 and the back becomes 3+4.
