Hi Mike, I’m capturing via a ‘s-video’ lead through a ‘advc-50’ box. The problem could well be the ‘anti-flicker’ device on the machine. Posibly the timing…

Hi Mike,

Thanks for the reply.

Unfortunately the 16mm TRVs don’t have a variable speed knob, unlike the 8mm ones! (Strange?!)

You mentioned ‘changing the luminance of every frame to fix things in Premiere’. Is there any way you can automatically ‘adjust/lighten’ the file, either whilst it’s being captured or when it’s in ‘avi’ format in Premiere?

For example – 2 frames every 20 frames, or something like that?

When I apply ‘auto color’ in the effects menu, it seems to reduce the flicker a little bit as it lightens the image…

Best regards,

Bruce.

Thanks to both of you – I always appreciate a professional perspective on answers to my questions. I must say I get a lot more results from this forum than the official ‘Adobe Premiere’ helpline that cost me

I like the statement! Many thanks. Bruce

Hi all of you.

I’ve seemed to have resolved the problem. I have started a new project and recreated the original video movie, but this time i’ve been more selective with special effects, filters, etc., and it seems to have speeded up the process. I can now write the file in about 2 hours. Does adding a lot of effects slow down the burning process? Best regards and thanks again, Bruce.

P.S. I think everyone on this forum should work for ‘Adobe Support’ – I contacted them regarding a couple of problems and they knew less about the product than i did! This forum is definately the place for ‘real’ advice…
