Can you capture ok from a camcorder? What A/D converter are you using?

[Mike Velte]

I doubt you can fix the video. Your best bet is to find someone with a professional Sony Digital 8 playback deck and transfer to mini DV tape.

Steven is probable busy, and probably does not know the answer anyway so I will jump in (-;

Project (on the menu bar)> Project Settings> General> Playback settings…
Change to External Device Audio

Camtasia 4.0 can capture your screen (drawing in Photoshop with the Wacom) and output as uncompressed .avi although only 24 bit.

then I hit a wrong button…

I have had similar problems with another converter and Pro 2. What works for me is to open Premiere first, then turn on the converter. Windows will jump up and say “What do you want to do”. Choose “Take no action” and close the window. Wait 10 seconds, switch the converter to the Analog in.
Now my converter just has a Mode switch with blue or red lights indicating analog or digital in.

I also have an older Canopus A/D converter that originally gave me fits getting Premiere to see it. Canopus has an “Application Launcher” app that fixed things…if you cant find it at Canopus, let me know and I will try to dig it out.
I did find a trouble shooting guide from Canopus from several years back;

Hello Mike,

Please follow the instructions below to fix your IEEE1394 problems:

01. Download and Install Windows XP Service Pack 1A from: https://download.microsoft.com/download/5/4/f/54f8bcf8-bb4d-4613-8ee7-db69d01735ed/xpsp1a_en_x86.exe

02. Reboot your computer

03. Download and Install DirectX 9.0B from: https://download.microsoft.com/download/c/9/c/c9c8a1d4-7690-4c98-baf3-0c67e7f3751f/dx90update_redist.exe

04. Reboot your computer

05. Download and Install AMD AGP Drivers from: https://www.amd.com/us-en/assets/content_type/utilities/miniport_533.EXE

06. Reboot your computer

07. Download and Install AMD IDE Bus Master Drivers from: https://www.amd.com/us-en/assets/content_type/utilities/eide_143s.exe

08. Reboot your computer

09. Download the attached file IEEE1394Fix.zip to C:\

10. Download the attached file Runme.zip to C:\

11. Make sure that both files are on the C:\

12. Click on Start –> Programs –> Accessories –> Command Prompt.

13. Inside the Command Prompt, type CD C:\ and Press Enter

14. Inside the Command Prompt, type REN Runme.zip Runme.bat and Press Enter

15. Inside the Command Prompt, type Runme.bat and Press Enter

16. When the Winzip Self-Extractor windows shows up, click Unzip.

17. After Winzip finishes extracting the files, click OK in the Popup window.

18. Click Close in the Winzip window.

19. Reboot your computer.

Now, your IEEE1394 devices should be working. If not, then what is happening is that Windows is not letting the drivers be overwritten. Therefore, I need you to do the following:

01. Turn the computer OFF.

02. Open the computer.

03. Remove all cards that has a DV Connection.

04. Turn on the computer.

05. Unzip IEEE1394Fix.zip to C:\1394.

06. Manually copy each file to C:\Windows\System32\Drivers. (You must copy them one by one in 1 minute interval)

07. After copying each file, Go to C:\Windows\System32\Drivers, and see if the each file’s Date and Time matches after 1 minute. (Press F5 to refresh).

08. If those files do not change in Date and Time, Copy the next file. When you are done copying and checking, turn off the computer.

09. Re-Insert the DV cards you removed earlier.

10. Close the Computer.

11. Turn the computer ON.

12. Windows should see new hardware. Let it install them. Reboot if necessary.

13. If that still doesn’t make it work, you will need to change the DV card to another PCI slot.

Enjoy your capture.

Sincerely,

Branden

Position the CTI at first frame of a clip in the timeline. Press the T key. This will reveal the source clip in the Source window with the original In and Out Points shown in green bar at the bottom of the Source window. If you then adjusted the In or Out points further in the timeline, this will be indicated by a gray bar above the green bar.
Choose “Take Audio” from the wing menu of the Source window. Select the Target track for the audio and use the Overlay command to overlay the audio in the timeline.

I convert quite a bunch of the stuff for a friend’s production company. I have seen the Grand Canyon and kids opening Christmas presents hundreds of times. We use a rather crude, but effective process…project onto a piece of paper and shoot that with a VX 2100. (10 cents a foot plus the DVD, music extra).

You can do a search of the registry for that .dll and delete any keys. Create a System Restore point before mucking around in the registry.

My take on what you want;
Put a clip in Video 1 and another in Video 2.
In the Titler, create a luma track matte…left half pure white and right half pure black. Now double the size of the left half, but position the extra half off the left side of the screen so the screen will show an evenly split screen. Put this in Video 3.
Apply the track matte key to the clip in Video 2. In the Effects controls for the Track Matte key, choose Matte: Video 3, Composition: Matte Luma
Now you have control (motion keyframes) over the position of each clip, plus you can keyframe the position values for the track matte to allow either clip to be full frame at times.
