Premiere Pro does a great job at keeping multiple different sources in sync. It’s rare that you need to worry about sync. The only time I have seen a sync issues is it I captured a tape using a deck with a clogged head. Some of the data was missing and it “shortened” the length of the clip.

Ok, I always forget about itunes. It’s a song called “Presence”. Itunes has it for .99 cents. Not sure of the legality of using it.

It’s a group called the “Newsboys”. I need to research the song title but I think it is “fill me up” or something along thoes lines.

Just FYI, untranscoded video will almost always show out of sync. I have found that transcoding the video will fix the sync problem, but this is when I have the buzzing problem. Out of the frying pan……

Hi Kevin,
Yes, it is possible. XP has become more and more reliable, but a poorly written driver (or hardware failure) can most certainly make a computer hang, produce errors or cause it to crash. After making sure that the card is seated firmly in the AGP (or PCI slot) and updating the video drivers a new card would be the next logical step. If you know someone that can let you borrow one to try that would be ideal.

PS – I’m assuming that your using XP.

It sounds like a firewire briver issue. Try downloading the latest driver version and see if that helps. Also, disable windows from accessing the firewire port for networking (in networking properties page.)
If that does not help let us know.

I agree with Noah. The only downside is that the shot might suffer from the dreaded “Batman Butt” effect filling the entire screen, but this too can be cleared in post with a little effort.

Just a note on blacking tapes in the DV format:
Keep in mind that DV does not use a “longitudinal” time code track like VHS and other formats did. It is controlled by the timing crystal in the camera. Blacking out a tape will help reduce timecode breaks, but don

Hi John,
I agree with Ryan. It sounds like the cadence is wrong in the 3:2 pulldown. Re-interpreting the footage should take care of it.

“So, you’re saying to render without a progressive setting? If I’m going to do that, should I reverse the fields on the individual clips?”
Premiere Pro should default to a lower field first setting when you output a video. If it’s interlaced coming in, any processing / de-interlacing is going to cause artifacts of some kind (Stair Stepping, Strobing, Ect). In your case I would recommend authoring the DVD interlaced and let your HDTV handle the de-interlacing (if it’s set up to do so). This way anyone with a standard DVD player not set up for progressive will play back correctly. On my setup my Sony (DVP-NS300) will ALWAYS pick the wrong field order when playing back PremierePro DVD’s in progressive mode. My Toshiba (RD-xs32 – Progressive Compatible) plays them back just fine.
Hope this helps.
