I am assuming your referring to the product sorenson squeeze

totally independent from premiere pro?

as for the color issue, the video on the camera looks much MORE colorful

its only when it comes into adobe it looks faded (i guess thats a word)

[Jason Harris]

while not an expert i would suggest using the ADVANCED settings in output

basically pick a flv setting in the prests close to what you want, then MANUALLY adjust video size, it should work, not sure what CS (3, 4) ? you are using but we also output in 720X480 and i found a nice preset,

if you have CS3 let me know!

Good luck

vid clip is at

and it is towards the end you will see the blur

thanks so much

[Jason Harris]

IN THE END i had to use the “full edit roll” that i captured, and make subclips in the preview window, kind of a big waste of time, but the log clips obviously is just that

thanks for the replies everyone!

[Jason Harris]

i wish it was that easy

I sort of dont have the ORIGINAL TAPE data any longer

I do however have an AVI file with the whole tape on it,

So your saying all i have to do is select ALL CLIPS that were “logged” (which i now gather does nto actually RECORD them tot he hd, what a waste of space that function is lol) and do a batch CAPTURE

will that restore all the edit points?

thanks for the info!

Thas a bit tough, as for the lot of it i dont know where to begin,

but i can tell you it is a TAPE (mini DV) non-drop? help me there

as for what i did i really detailed that in the previous post,

I took the tape, ran it while in “capture” mode , when i found a “clip” i started an in point, then ran to an out point, then after EACH CLIP had points i hit LOG CLIP, and it asked me for a clip name, i did this 10 or 11 times for the different “clips”

when i closed the capture window they were all in the “bin” in the project, however the names showed up and even the timecode showing length, but there was NO VIDEO in any of the “clips”

does this help?

screen of the project can be seen at

nobody knows huh?

wow thats a dissapointemnt to say the least

lol

OH well

eddie

love the humour, but like you said seriously, i was raised in the school of photography and SOME of the best photos come from the 30 yr old slrs lol

i was thinking about the card, probably could get a PCI card with RCA inputs (thats what the camcorder has going out, a 18th into the rca cables) and might go with that

now to find an older expansion card in our lab somewhere

lol

the question was really only based on the type of video (as for fps and whatnot) not so much the device itself lol

thanks for the chuckle (it IS heavy enough to use as a doorstop or bookend lol)

[Jason Harris]

tim i know that

I WAS referring to a project we were doing, is a simple series of clips, with some basic PREMIERE transitions, no fancy dynamic links, im sure if adobe chokes on something like that it probably ROLLS OVER DEAD for any complex dynamic linked stuff, tryed the dynamic links ourselves and its very buggy to say the least, we have backordered a copy of CS3 from our vendor, i hope it speeds things up!

[Jason Harris]

OK

I tried to hold my tongue and I DO AGREE he has WAY TOO MANY things running (as for the AE stuff dont sue it so dont know yet on that) but a BASIC encode out of PPro of a 3 minute file (WMV,FLV,AVI whatever) shouldn’t take 20 minutes PER FILE

i know if a pc has slow software and not just adobe its the pc not the program, im in IT so that’s a no brainer

but adobe is slow and clunky, check google for “CS4 slow” and you’ll see the community as a whole believes this!

I know its not constructive to bitch but im hoping adobe will sit up and FIX the issue

CS5 anyone lol
