“The dreaded comb-like lines” ??????????
I have never gotten this. What are your project settings, output settings and what are you trying to do? Are you using a progressive setting or an interlaced setting?

The “Dry” type tapes have particles that are 1/4th the size of “wet” lube tapes. Most of the discussions I have heard are of switching back and forth between the two types. Wet + Dry= Mud is the general thought.
Just for a reference point, I only use Dry and I did not have my first head clog until I reached 120 hours on the heads.
Just my 2 cents.

My suggestion would be to shoot in 16:9 squeeze mode (if you don’t have the anamorphic adapter) even though it’s not true 16:9. You will have the full vertical resolution of the CCD. You loose all the lines of resolution in 4:3 where the black bars are.

If you have a DVX100a use the firewire port to import video. If you don’t have one they are about $50 bucks to add on.

Hi Mike,
What were the settings when you exported the video? Did you export to an AVI file or burn a dvd from the timeline? It almost sounds like there is something up with the output settings. Make sure that you have chosen a interlaced output even though the source material is progressive (if this is going to be played back on regular interlaced tv). Unless you have a DVD player that supports progressive scan there will be a massivly annoying jitter.

When you first load a clip Premiere Pro will create preview files associated with the captured material. Is there a progress bar in the lower right hand corner when this is happening? If this is the case wait for it to finish and then try it.

Hi Nathan,
I would suggest editing in a 30i timeline. The DVX up converts the footage to 30i before going to tape anyway. You will still get the same 24p “Look”, but it may require some rendering in the timeline where the 24p footage is placed. Try capturing a little bit of 24p in a 30i project and see how it looks with the XL1 footage.

Hi Tom,
There were some updates that needed to be applied (adobe media encoder, Ect…). if you recently aquiret the Premiere Pro CD you might have the updated files. Check out the update page at adobe to see if anything is needed.
As for hard drives, Maxtor drives have been rock solid for me (Maxtor drive, generic external case).
Hope this helps,

Hi Matt,
The original unaltered file (the one you opened) should still be on your hard drive. Saving the project overwrites the original file with a new one, not saving just disregards changes and closes the program and does not alter the file on the drive. If your using XP do a search ( Start > Search) for the original file name. It should come up with 1 or 2 results. If this does not work let us know.
Any other forum members have any idea why the original file is not showing up when he starts the program? It’s been a while since I’ve used premiere 6.

From your description it sounds like there is a issue with the camera you are capturing with. Run a head cleaner through it and see if it improves.
