Hi guys, very simple. I want a way of getting what i can see in the preview box onto a seperate monitor. I have a Pinnacle Movieboard Plus, but i am not sure Premiere can use the card. Please can somebody tell me the most cost effective way of doing this.
Thanks
Matt

Does premiere only output to firewire?? If so can i buy a firewire to RCA or s-video? Or will that not be detected?

If you have Pinnacle Movieboard Plus, Im sure the board have video output. Used the output to your preview seperate monitor.Is that what you are using?

sounds like you need an analog to digital converter. when I was starting out on non linear editing at home, I used the dazzle dv-hollywood bridge. worked like a charm, if i wanted my picture straight off the computer on, say a television. I think pinnacle has something equivelent nowadays in the 300 dollar range.

Yer, the pci card has an output and when i had a look at the pinnacle software it was outputing. However i can't find a way of getting premiere to output to it. Can somebody please tell me what i shoud be doing. Or if the is any software that could link premiere and the pinnacle card?
Thanks for your help

Matt,
You don't need to buy anything. Connect your camera through firewire to your computer and connect the analog out of the camera to your TV. Turn the camera on to VCR mode and in Premiere enable playback on external device. That's all.

I tried that before with my dinky lil sony dv camera, didnt work. The camera has to have a pass through right?

The above is the easy way to output your video preview. Always check your editing setting output.
