Try looking at the preview in a 100% window, rather than a resized. Sometimes this will exaggerate the normal interlace on 1080i footage.

Bob,
I’m going to assume you are not calling anyone here a baby.
While your note is fascinating, it doesn’t apply to me or to this thread.
The problem happens to every timeline.
The problem exists on every CPU.
Extensive troubleshooting has been performed.
BMD personnel above and beyond support have already been on it.
Your advice is noted, but does not help in this case.

Hey, I’ve had this experience too, don’t sweat it. BMD has some bad internal communication issues from what I’ve seen, sorry Josh, but it’s true. It isn’t you, it’s just that their default answer is always “you built your system wrong” even if every test you perform says otherwise.
I get this problem on DVCPROHD on an array that performs in the 240Mbps range, while the format only requires 50Mbps. If I asked support they would always accuse me of having too slow of drives, however. It’s a common theme.
Ok, now to some actual advice: Assuming that you don’t experience any “degraded” playback in Premiere and that your system specs are not deficient in any way (i’m in this boat too), you should know that there were a few bugs in the Premiere 5.1 builds related to the way it communicates with third party drivers/presets, etc. There’s some fault on the side of the driver as well, though if you are using up to date BMD drivers, much of this should be working better but…
I have no idea when it will drop, but the expected 5.2 patch for CS5 will help out a great deal on the premiere side. Until then, you’ll have to deal with stutters, like a great many of us, regardless of how awesome your computer might be.

Oh dear me, that would be so awesome I can’t stand it. Even better would be the ability to separate each input as a capture device so that third party software could allow you to switch with it too.

Ok, cool, sounds like the solution is to use FCP and HDVSplit.
Or, you can use actual pro formats, not HDV (which I’ve heard is pro-sumer) :).
I do remember now that FCP can do preview while capturing, I didn’t know HDVSplit was a capture app.
I just don’t know why this is a pro/not pro deal breaker. Again, HDV over firewire isn’t what I’d call a pro format to start with. When I capture via HD-SDI to premiere using an HDCAM deck, it previews fine. Same with anything I capture using HD-SDI, including from cameras that initially recorded to HDV.
Maybe if you suggested it as a feature it wouldn’t vex me so.

Another test, render out a final of a couple seconds of the worst footage and see if it occurs there. It might also be from the compression/decompression on the fly you are trying to do from the timeline or monitor.

The capture preview is disabled to avoid dropping frames. This can probably change now that most computers are powerful, but does it really make the app not pro? What other apps can preview HDV while capturing? HDV over firewire, I mean, not over HD-SDI or component 🙂

What kind of correction are you using and how far are you pushing it? Any compressed format (like the one you are editing) is going to start artifacting pretty badly when you push colors/luma etc. too far out of what was recorded. The artifacts you are seeing are always there, my guess is that you are just bringing them out.

Unfortunately, because of licensing, CS5 Trial does not support all of the formats that CS5 Full does. That you are using the trial may be the source of your issue.

Windows what? Vista/ XP and 7 all have different permissions structures.
