Well, jeez, Jeff, why didn’t I think of that? There it was, a sticky little speck.

Many thanks!

Thanks, Conrad. I’ll give that a try first. I appreciate hearing different suggestions.

Thanks Vince. You burst my fantasy that someone had found some less time-consuming way, but it’s true, at least there’s not motion to contend with. All Best.

Thanks for the help, Angelo. Luckily it was an easier fix than this. The bins were drilled down some how, and I was able to find them by clicking the little folder in the upper left hand corner of the panel. Don’t know how it happened, and it was very disconcerting, but luckily, once someone on the Adobe forum pointed it out, an easy fix.

In my situation, the capture setting did match the settings of the format. I shot in DV, and capture settings were DV. The wrinkle was that, in the meantime, I had shot in HDV. It was the CAMERA’s settings–its shooting settings–that caused this error message. Once I changed the shooting settings back to DV, the error message went away.

Great advice, Ryan. I can’t thank you enough.

Ryan,

Man, you nailed it. I swallowed all that “filmic” stuff whole, and what a mess this has been.

I just had a long chat with Adobe, and I learned that Premiere Pro just reads whatever format the source material is in. And you’re right, even though I shot in 24 p., the camera is sending to PP in 29.97.

The support person was able to go into the software and click a few settings–he took control of my screen, so it went pretty fast–and did manage to get rid of the artifacts–if that’s the right word–that were junking up the images.

Still, I’ll just switch over to 30 p. from here on out.

This has led me to another issue that you might be able to help me with. I kind of slid into this documentary project. I’m ten hours in, and I think I’ll shoot another twenty hours. When I started, I was on PE and a computer that couldn’t handle HD. I just got a more powerful computer. The last shoot I went out on I used HDV 30 p. I really liked it. Obviously it’s going to look different than the DV stuff. I cut some of it together, just to see how much difference, and it’s there, but I’m thinking not so much that a good story and some post production couldn’t compensate for.

Any thoughts?

Ryan,

I shot this on a Sony FX1000 at DV 24p. I’ve been using Premiere Elements, which is totally incapable of handling DV 24. This was my generating reason for moving up to Pro–which all works out, because I’m working on a large project, and I really needed to be on Pro anyway. But FIRST I need to capture the video properly.

Many thanks!

Doug
