    Hey Vince, thanks.
    Yeah, ended up using the work area indicators. Tedious but it worked. So thanks for the help.
    Hey, how versed are you in AE? Looking to create the effects they did to some footage as seen on Americas Pyschic Challenge.
    Very layered, effected stuff- looks great. Especially looking to create that artifical soft frame they have on some of the footage- almost like old film stock with a soft dark edge.
    Here’s a link if you wanna take a look. Wondering if it’s a plugin that they’re using.

    Thanks Vince. Tried the Sony cam- no luck- so gotta assume the crash hosed the firewire in the camera too. OY.
    But at least I’m back to editing- so very happy and grateful about that part. They don’t make the PD100s anymore- great l;ittle work horse- but I’ll worry later, about what to do in the future regarding playback capture.
    Thanks again for all of your help and concern!!
    Peace

    Hi Vince,
    Well, I may have blown out the firewire in the camera and taken down my capture card with it. Put in a (second) diff card, didn’t see the camera. Got a friend’s Panasonic- sees it.
    So crap, unless it suddenbly doen’t see my old trusty Sony DSR PD100, I’ve blown away the firewire in the camera.
    Not wild about the card I have in, was happy wityh my basic ADS Pyro Platnium, but can’t find them online- found this:
    https://www.dvd-gear.com/firewire-3-port-pci-card-fb4103.htm
    so may just try it- you think it will be cool?

    As for my camera- I am left trying to see if the firewoire unit in the camera can be replaced.

    But I’d REALLY love to ultimately invest in a playback deck- something small/portable- that has a screen, that I can capture off of- that way I can edit on the go and use it to capture with instead of another camera.
    Any suggestions Vince?

    And thanks again for all of your posts and help.

    Hi Vince,
    Yep, everything is set up right. No good. If I remember right it started with my having stupidly loading the wrong driver for Nvidia. I removed it, then got some errors but was able to boot up. Oddly, I was able to capture! Ended up having to load DirectX 9.0c to get past the blue screen of death that hit. Fixed all the error messages- and then, all my video related software crapped out.
    Fixed it by unhooking 2 internal drives. I thought the problem was overlapping versions of the same software (premiere, flash etc) that I found on the other drives. All was working until I went to capture. Plugged in my camera and the cursor froze on screen. This whole time the card was working with one of my external drives. What I didn’t realize – what I now know- is that it was a faulty installation of Quicktime that crashed all my video related software! Currently, there is NO quicktime on the HD and everything runs perfect again- but still no capture.
    Back to my previous thought- after pluging and unpluging my camera, I checked the (previously functioning) card in the device manager- and after all the hoopla of freezing my cursor I suddenly had the yellow question mark- and it didn’t see my external drive. So, went out, grabbed a cheap 1394 and, now it sees the external again, but still, no Premiere.
    It’s remotely possible I have blown out the firewire in the camera- but seems unlikely.
    There’s a local shop that says their 1394 card is suppose to work with Premiere 6.5 etc- I’ll try that tomorrow- if it still doesn’t work then I’m inclined to think, again, something is wrong with my software.
    I see there’s an Adobe update link in the capture window- I’m a little scared to try it- but is it possible hitting the link might repair any missing capture files?

    Thanks again Vince.

    Thanks for rapid reply- this edit has been a nightmare- I’ve lost a lot of time with computer crashes. Done device manager check- it’s good, the camera shows up in options- even with the camera unconnected. But nothing.
    Got any ideas?
    Haven’t done the win2000 updates- because there would be (presumably) hundreds- I never go online with that computer- so I’m reluctant to start now and everything has been so fragile- I’m afraid to try a lot of things for fear I’ll lose my progress.
    Is there a specific capture driver I should be looking for?
    Could it be a 1394 card issue? – But doesn’t 6.5 work with just about every card out there?
    This is a late night- run to the Best Buy stroe- basic 1394 IEEE firewire- Dynex. I called thier ‘support” today to see if there are Premiere issues- they were useless. Tried Premiere site for third party cards- couldn’t find a complete listing…but even before I swapped in this new card- my old workhorse ADS Pyro Platinum suddenly stopped capturing…so something happened during the crashes and then the fixes.
    I really don’t think it’s the new card -I’ve been using it for my firewire external drive- no problem.

    Stumped.

    Wow- this is an incredibly generous reply-thank you so much for taking the trouble to teach me this, very thoughtful. I really appreciate this. So, I’m gonna print this out and give it a go this weekend. If it doesn’t stink too bad- I’ll post the link for you to take a look! Thanks again – I’ll be diving in!

    Man, I didn’t even think about that- thanks- you’re right- as the car footage appears to dip down- you would see more of the bottom of the alley wall outside of the window.
    I’ve never attempted any of the techniques you’ve described however!
    Just about everything after that advice is a….fast blurrr!
    If you could point me towards a tutorial- or if you have the time and patience to explain further, I’d appreciate it a great deal.
    Thanks again
