No, there is no limit as long as you have the harddisk formatted
in NTFS. Since you could capture 55 minutes this seems to be
the case.

This sounds like it may be dropping frames and thus aborting
the capture.

Have you updated 1.5 to the latest update/patch available?

What operating system, harddisk, memory are you running?

Hello Andrew, welcome aboard (H)DVinfo.net!

Your first question belongs in our VX-2100 forum, but it sounds
like you overexposed. Learn to control your camera in manual
mode. Practice practice practice is the only way you will ever
truly get a feel on how things work and will look. We all had to
learn and practice!

Which version of Premiere do you have? Almost all versions come
with some level of image control. Look at constrast, brightness,
saturation and gamma (curve) controls.

Later versions include the more powerful color correction tools
with color curves and secondary color correctors etc.

However, don't expect magic. This takes time and practice as well
and will only change what is in the image. If you have blown out
highlights you will never be able to recover that information since
it is simply not there in the first place.

The best you can do is enhance an image or remove/hide certain
flaws etc.

Premiere capture is unstable?

Hey guys,

Just go premire today, and its awsome. One problem i need to get sorted out, when i capture HDV from my Sony HDR-FX1 camera, after about 5-10 seconds of footage (after captured) the video has pure green artifacts, and it appears to go at superfast motion. It becomes completley un-usable footage, I have tried with scene capture on and off to see if that was the problem but its not.

CPU specs:
Windows XP
AMD atholon XP 2800 (2.09ghz)
ATI Radeon 9800pro 128mb
1024mb RAM
114gb hardrive (50gb open)

help?

As much as I like Premiere, I always hated it for capturing. Fortunately, I also have DV Storm. It's much nicer. Didn't your cam come with some software? Other than that, you might try Adobe's site for some new patches and updates.

Does this happen with every tape or with only one specific tape?

so far, this happened with with last 3 tapes.
and i have been using same brand for some time.
This also happens when i use non-dropframe playback and capture settings.

I don't get it, why won't it capture the last 6 or 7 minutes of the tape?

Ok. Lets try a couple of things then:

1. Fast forward your tape to 50 minutes and try capturing the last 10 minutes. Does this work? If not, then it is more than likely a Canopus problem.

2. Try capturing the last 10 minutes via the ScLive trial (http://www.scenalyzer.com) If that does not work, then try the next step

3. If your computer has regular firewire ports, try capturing the last 10 minutes through them.

Brandon,

Your machine is under the min spec required by Adobe. This might be (part of) the problem.

I recommend that you download Aspect HD from CineForm and use the capture app that is part of this app called HDLink. (HDLink works outside Premiere, although you lose batch capture capabilities). On underspec machines it is useful to do a two-pass capture with HDLink. 1) Capture the TS stream from the camcorder, and 2) in a second pass convert the stream into the CineForm avi needed by PremPro. (HDLink allows you to do the capture as a single capture/convert step or use two separate steps.) They offer a 15-day free trial.

If you decide you aren't interested in the other performance features of Aspect HD, HDLink is also part of Connect HD, but without the RT PremPro features.

David.

Adobe Audition does have mackie control support and integrates with Premiere Pro, but PPro doesnt have direct support.

Chroma key/Green Screen problem

We recently did our first project with green screen. We lit the screen correctly, kept the talent 8 feet in front of the screen and lit her correctly. We did the editing in Premier 6.5 using some scanned photos for background.


The video looked great and the pictures were good as well. In a couple of spots there is still a small amount of green bleeding (the edge of her hand, forearm etc.) When we tried to adjust in Premiere the video became too transparent.


We've read and looked at the "Ultra Key" program, which claims to solve this problem. Also, we've heard that keying is easier in Premiere Pro.


Does anyone have experience and know what our best solution would be?


Thanks in advance,


Bruce Yarock

IMO Premiere/PPROs keyer lacks in numerous areas. I have used many NLEs and PPRO probably has the worst keyer. If you have AE, then I would reccomend using AE for keying as it is a lot more flexible. I don't have any experience with Ultra, but from what I have seen and heard, it is great

I haven't used Premiere 6.5 in a long time, but is there any sort of Matte Choker or some kind of choke effect you can put on there? That will help reduce some of the green artifcats around your subjects. Also adjust the green hue on your subjects if there is any green reflection off the screen. Hope this helps a little.
