I have the same problem with CS3 and JVC HD110. It seems to be completely random, one day capture works flawlessly and the next day, the same project with the same settings goes nuts and makes me reset the camera or restart Premiere every time I want to capture something.

Guess it’s just another crazy Premiere issue.

Why do they remove useful features? Tapping Tab is much quicker and more convenient than focusing on Shift+1 or 2. Also, I am unable to insert/overwrite from keyboard when not focused on source panel. These new behaviours in CS3 REALLY hinders my workflow.

Oh well. Thanks for your response, Steven.

That’s weird, I was able to complete 45minute project in PPro 2 without a problem (I just couldn’t scroll bin with mousewheel… :o)) even on Vista Beta 2 almost a year ago… It works flawless on both my Athlon 64 desktop and Pentium M laptop.

Please be more specific. What is your computer configuration? Describe exactly what is wrong with Premiere – does it even install?

I use PPro 2 with 720p HDV from JVC HD110. My editing rig is Intel Core 2 Duo E6400 2,14 GHz and Matrox RT.X2. The system would be able to edit at least one HDV stream WITHOUT Matrox, but this way, I can get mutliple streams with CC and transitions in realtime without hiccups, and realtime full-res preview with effects on TV or monitor thanks to RT.X2’s DVI output. Or you can skip RT.X2 and invest 500 bucks into Cineform. You would need large disk space, but can edit HDV even on lowly notebooks.

In basic terms, there’s not much difference between working DV or HDV in PPro 2 with Matrox. PPro 2 alone cannot preview HDV in its own capture window, and IIRC, it can’t do automatic scene detection. Cineform or Matrox RT.X2 helps here.

Alright, I posted a request. I suggest all of us who need more keyboard in PPro to fill in a request at http://www.adobe.com/support/feature.html

I had this problem too. Nearly finished didn’t open and crashed. Luckily, Premiere Pro project files are just long XML text documents. Download XML Wrench https://www.xmlwrench.com/ open your *.prproj file and “check well formed” from the tools menu. Chances are some filename or effect name got malformed. Just delete suspicious characters if this function finds anything. Don’t forget to save under another name.

I am almost positive this will help. It did it for me. Let me know if it does.
