Adobe Premiere discussions from 2003

[Ed Smith]

Scott,

Not a bad idea to try and convert the clips and see whether Premiere will accept it that way. I won't purcahse Quicktime pro yet, I think I have something that might do the job.
NTFS format does not have a limit on file size, so it should not matter - I'm running XP Pro SP1

Cheers,

Ed

[Ed Smith]

Scott - I think you hit the nail on the head!!!

I had an extremely old version of Studio DV - After it stopped complaining that it was not Win XP compliant. I managed to get it running.

I opened up the smallest clip first and to my luck studio DV recognised it and enabled me to play, most importantly it enabled me to export out as an AVI DV which Premiere seemed to like.

That means that Premiere got a little confused while capturing the footage.

Cheers people,

Ed Smith

Well I'm coming into this topic late but, in case anyone else has the problem, I experienced this as well and all it took to fix it was to download the latest update from Adobe.

Although I wish I'd done it straight off as I first thought that the capture programs method of splitting it into clips was causing corrupt captures and I recaptured everything as one huge file for each tape.

Meaning too large to backup on dvd, which may well cause me a problem in the future...

Jay.

Jason, cheers for the comments - Glad that somebody else has had the same sort of problem.

Yu say that you updated Premiere, was that from V6-6.02. I use Premiere 6.5 and as far as I can see I can only wait until Pro comes out.

Thanks,

Ed

[Jason Tammemagi]

Oh okay, yep I was working with 6.0 when I updated so that means it may not have been the same problem if you are using 6.5.

Unless it was a specific fix that I downloaded but as far as I remember it wasn't, just a general update. The only thing that makes me say that is that I had a very similar problem with After Effects (I was using an even earlier version, the new one is on it's way!) and I remember seeing many people having the same problem with AE and Adobe saying it was fixed in the update, which it was. But I was the only person I could find there who was having the problem in Premiere also, which is why I had thought it was my capture method.

Not sure then if you are using 6.5. It's not like they would have removed a fix along the way.

Did you search the Adobe site to see if you could find any other cases of this? It's been a while since I've been there.

Jay.

Can you please post the following information:

1. operating system you are using

2. hardware you are using [including any DV boards]

3. the EXACT error message [copy it letter by letter!]

4. what you have done to get to this error [what are you doing exactly in Premiere]

[Rob Lohman]

That should not be a problem you can actually "see". That could
only hurt performance.

Do you see these problems also when you just render the timeline
to a file and import that file?

[Yi Fong Yu]

eh?

[Rob Lohman]

Okay, let us walk down a list.

1) if you play back the 16:9 original footage that you recorded on the original tapes with the original camera does the TV see it as widescreen?

2) how did you playback your footage to your TV? On a DVD?

3) What kind of TV do you have?

Keep in mind that a 16:9 TV needs a SIGNAL to know it is a
16:9 stream. Both in MPEG2 encoding and DVD authoring you
need to specify that the footage is widescreen/anamorphic/16:9
so that the right flags are set and the DVD player knows that
the footage is anamorphic and emits the correct signal.

Also make sure if you have a widescreen TV that the DVD player
is correctly setup to know this [otherwise it will convert it to 4:3
with black bars].

Premiere Pro, late this month- AE6 available NOW!

[Rob Lohman]

Two questions:

1) what hardware are you using?

2) what operating system?

[Ed Smith]

What do you mean that the workflow is slow?

You simply capture - The capture automatically appears in the bin - You then import this onto the timeline, edit - Export out

How slow is slow? Normally these things are quite hardware intensive.

Answer Robs questions, to begin with.

All the best,

Ed

[Keith Loh]

I know what you mean. Preview performance is extremely slow in Premiere.

Use Vegas for faster editing.
