Thank YOU so much!

I’ve been trying to figure that one out for about a year. Certainly a critical tool for what I do.

Have a great day.

Best,

Todd

July 23, 2009 at 5:48 am in reply to: Using Premiere and video camera to capture VHS. What settings?

Yes, a camcorder as the converter which used to work nicely with 6.5 (it would blow your mind all the things we’ve lost since 6.5 although we have gained a few not that I use a lot of them).

Following that I used a Canopus DV storm with premiere which captured nicely. Premiere does not seem to be smart enough to just accept the video without running the transport.

Maybe some shareware capture program?

Need to get these converted and I’d hate to have to buy an old computer and get the storm running again but if I must?

Cheers,

Todd

You need a. Rain or decoder of some kind. This is what your computer does….this does not exist in TVs as far as I know.

Wow, looks like I’m going to lose another day or two troubleshooting Premiere again by the looks of that link.

Thanks Eddie. New Rule: Don’t update Adobe Products until they’re ready to release 2 versions ahead. This is why I used 6.5 until a year ago. What a fantastically reliable product that was!

I see an Apple in my future….people must have a lot more time on their hands than I do, I’ll have to work on that.

Thanks again.

Any frame rate suggestions? 1440 or 1980 x 1050?

Thanks!

So far so good Eddie. No more 5am work nights, I promise. I guess instill have to find out why it won’t export.

I’ll check these tips.

Thank you very much. Anybody know why this happens?

Thanks Don.

I am a Panny DVX user and the A1 is so beautiful in so many ways that it’s going to be a crushing disappointment to let it go, but let it go I most likely will.

Being a Canon owner for 8 months, I would not suggest Canon cameras unless you’re always shooting in either sunlight or TV lighting type setups. Unfortunately, and after much experimentation I believe these cameras have redefined what low light is……meaning “good light theatre projects now have to be considered low light.”

Otherwise, I love everything about this camera but poor low light performance is like having a ferrari……you can go drive it on a professional race track adn it’s fine, but it sucks around town. I pretty much NEVER shoot on a “professional track.”

I actually think the HVX 200 might be worse than the Canon.

I’m regrettably, probaly heading to the Panny HMC150 or Sony EX (around 7k if I remember correclty) and of course, they have their drawbacks. Low light just happens to be the one drawback that is nearly insurmountable.

I spoke to an EX owner and he loves the image quality but hates the way you have to operate the camera. He said EVERYTHING is manual and I may be wrong but I thought he said there is either no auto focus or that it’s so bad it’s useless. Regardless, he said it’s a BEAR to operate and he’s coming from the Canons which are pretty tough.

Good luck!

Best,

Todd

And I hear it is many of the Apples that can’t do AVCHD because it requires Intel.

If you want interchangeable lenses the JVCs are interesting. The new sony EX and one other that cant remember seem to be the low light champs again and I never worried too much about low light until I landed a couple of Canons. Its a hard camera to learn and I actually now feel that low light may be the MOST important aspect of a camera because it means the sensor is sensitive, much like a Sennheiser Mic verses and Azden. Shimmering and magnificent vs. serviceable.

Im not ripping the Canon because even after 6 months I dont feel like I know everything about it but I work 100 hour a week to not a lot of time for tweaking.

Good luck on your hunt.

Best,

Todd

I found that you can’t capture HDV in CS4 so that part makes sense.

The other part is that I find you need to go into the camera and tell it to either export in DV for DV, or AUTO or HDV when importing HDV.

YOU CANT CHANGE THESE SETTINGS WITH THE FIREWIRE CABLE INSERTED….LEARNED THAT THE HARD WAY TOO.

Good luck,

Todd
