Do I need a capture card for XL-1/ Adobe Premiere
 

So far I have been unable to capture with only firewire. Help Thanks

Jay,

Please clarify your statement. You can capture via firewire, or you can't? Firewire is the normal way to capture.

Thanks Mike,

Here is the setup: Asus K8N-E, Athlon 64/3700+, 3gb DDR, WD Raptor drives, Siig Firewire 800 M-64, 4 pin to 9 pin Siig cable, XL-1, Adobe Primere 6.0

I am new to this camera so I could be making improper configuations. I open up AP with default settings, turn the XL on to VCR, open AP go to project, Capture movie, the tape rolls and I can view through the source window. The control device is still the XL-1. At this point it seems that all I have is another viewing screen other that the view finder on the camera as I have been unable to open the file on the hard drive and plug it in the source window. While I have named the file and it appears to be on the drive, but when it is in the project window, and I grab and move over the source nothing! Yet I can grab the file that came with the cd for Classroom on a disk and no problem. It would seem to me that once the capture is made I should be able to control using AP and manipulate the files location.

Any advise will be helpful and apprciated, Thanks Jay
