First google “shoot video to look like film” and you’ll find some very nice resources. Shooting style is more important than any settings, filters or software will get you. Any software will work because whats most important is your style and technique.

What are your export settings?

Right click on your program monitor and select quality… is it selected at highest?
For capturing, what are your quicktime settings? Quicktime can capture uncompressed and DV as well.
For your export settings, click the double arrow and make sure you have the quality and size setup correctly. Report back if your not able to drive the quality up by tailoring these settings.

CS4 and video drivers are having lots of reported havoc. Try uninstalling your video driver then reinstalling it first. Also rolling back to some older drivers might help. The video playback is “video overlay” so the problem lies with the video card, trouble shoot there first.

CS2 is not designed for vista. Simple as that.

If they divide, they’ll edit. Progressive is always better. I would edit in a 30p project for your new stuff. The 60i stuff should import fine, you may even try right clicking and playing with “field options” on your clips. Try deinterlacing or interlacing consecutive frames, but for me I prefer “flicker removal.” Your final DVD’s will also look in progressive on any TV, especially any newer HD/flatscreen/LCD.
Stay away from 24p unless your really doing film, 30p is close enough for the “film look” (without serious, annoying flickers) and edits 60i/60p/30p without issues.
Bob Zelin’s article (which I’ve already referenced once today for another 24p post) is great for explaining why not!Tim Robinson

I have this same setup. Are you working in a HDV 24p project?
This was at first CS2 issue when JVC first came out with the 24p settings and premiere could only do 30p. Then the fix was to unlink audio video and change the video speed to 80% and relink audio & video.
While shooting 24p sounds cool, it’s not unless you REALLY need to (say for film output). You need to read Bob Zelin’s article on why not. There’s also plenty of 24p discussion in the forums to also back this up. The debate goes both ways. For me, I shoot 30p. It looks close enough to film, but works well in all 60p/60i/30i/30p projects. 24p is a can of worms when you try to mix it into anything… rather than working in JUST 24p and nothing else (from recording the file files (in 24p), to editing the project (24p) & final product (24p output).

What about the audio format… projects and clips?

…and after effects. You might want to do a little search of cow tutorials and post in the after effects forums for additional references.

Well DV on the tape is just like the DV codecs used on the computer. So when you digitize the clips into .AVI’s, there already in DV format and are very close to the original compression that the camera did when the footage was shot. There’s no such thing as uncompressed DV format.
