ONly imports a fraction of total material at DVinfo.net

Ben Winter · July 5th, 2006, 02:03 AM

After importing an entire tape of footage in AspectHD demo and waiting 2 and a half hours to encode it, Premiere only recognizes the first seven and a half minutes of footage. It's as if the other 53 minutes were never recorded. What's going on? Is this a demo limitation?

No, I don't think so, and it shouldn't take 2.5 hours to capture a tape. How did you do the capture? Did you use HDLink or Premiere? If you did not use HDLink, then try capturing the tape again using HDLink.

I should add that the .avi file shows a duration of 59 minutes. The entire tape was correctly imported, but Premiere shows the file as only 7 minutes long.

Hi Ben,

I know it's not a solution but I always break up my imports into 5-10 minute manageable chunks. I just don't trust working with files over a certain size.

Same here. Try using HDLink with scene detection and see if that fixes the problem.

What is the framerate of the file within Premiere? Also, does that 7 minutes play normally? or is it the entire 59 minutes sped up? or something else?
