I am working with Premiere and down converting to SD in camera to capture footage. Premiere doesn't do scene detect for either SD or HDV as far as I know, so is there a program out there, like HDV Split, for capturing SD with scene splitting?

Premiere elements does scene splitting for SD (but not HD)

For years I used Scenalyzer Live for scene detect during capture, although it isn't free.

But you can have a free 30-day trial.

Nathan,

Premiere Pro CS3 scene detects DV for me. There's a check box for scene detect in the capture window. Elements 4 does this as well. See attached screenshot, the controls are inside the yellow highlighted area.

I can't get it to work with HDV for some reason (checkbox is grayed out) but I use HDVsplit for that anyway.
