Your audio is peaking. If it wasn’t in the original tape, then you’re in luck, simply lower the volume in Premiere under effects > volume.
When you hear that sound and look at the audio meter in Premiere, you should see it going in the red, and that’s bad. Simply lower it until it goes right under the red on average. There are additional controls that you may want to look into, including compression.

Download a free program called Windv: https://windv.mourek.cz/
Premiere capture is picky on a lot of things, including fragmented drive, whether you a using a master or slave drive for capture, and what program is running in the background, including antivirus.
Windv buffers the capture and I’ve never had a dropped frame since.

Maybe a corrupted file ? Or just a codec that isn’t recognized correctly. If you have a third party converter such as Canopus Procoder, you could try re-exporting as an uncompressed clip.

And in reference to your first post, DV compression is not so light anymore, especially now that people are getting used to seeing HD, and may even see your footage on a plasma screen where the artifacts will be much more obvious.
It was great when it was first introduced, in comparison to previous formats, including VHS, which is not to put down DV, as it is still a superior quality choice.
It is still a great way to capture, but when you export an edited project into DV, you are recompressing the initially already compressed footage you started with…

>> So is it safe to say that working with DV AVI and rendering in the same format, before exporting to mpeg2 for DVD content is a proffesional way to about working with Premiere ? >>
Yes.
>> One of my current projects is intended for TV broadcast. I’m not sure yet if they want HD (it was filmed on a Sony FX1) or SD. So if this project is for SD, can I do the above, or should I export as AVI, DV AVI, or QT ?>>
This comes down to whether you will be putting this on a DVD or an other format, such as Digibeta, beta, etc.
If you are exporting for DVD, then you can either use the Media Encoder, and choose the appropriate mpeg2 setting based on the lenght of the footage, or you can export to AVI uncompressed to an external hard drive for example to submit it to a TV station editor.
You sould however avoid exporting to DV, unless it is going to a DVcam tape. This is a heavily compressed format, much worse than mpeg2, and was only designed to go from the initial camcorder to tape at the time of the shooting.

I don’t believe you can do that with Premiere. Do a search in the archive, someone posted a timecode video a while back that you can overlay on your footage. Found it, here’s a link.

Ooops…
You could do that, or zoom in the video, or try a 16:9 aspect ratio template over to hide it, depending on the footage, and the format it was shot in.
If the client goes for the logo idea, that’s probably the easiest to achieve.

Just to detail. I know Steve must getting tired of explaining it over and over 😉
Apply track matte key effect to your animation track, in effects properties set you text track as matte.
Voila…

My initial thought would be using a round mask and animate along path, but the problem is that masks only exist in 2d, and so the cards won’t overlap correctly, meaning the top card(layer) will always show up in front of the others. This would be much easier to achieve in a 3d application.

I believe that may be the only way, no shortcut that I know of.
I just do a shift + track select tool to select all the tracks I need, then copy and paste in a new sequence.
It is clunky… unless somebody comes up with that miraculous workaround.
