It can see the camcorder, it will start playing the tape but nothing shows in the capture window and it will run from 7-10 seconds and then it will crash PPro.</p> <p>I have checked around the web for possible solutions. One was to remove webcam software, which I did (it was Logitech Webcam software). No change. I have tested the camera in other programs, Windows Movie Maker (could capture fine) and Sony Vegas 6.0d (could capture fine). I have adjusted various settings recommended by the Adobe forums but the result is the same, crash. I have reinstalled PPro CS3, still the crash happens. I have used different rolls of footage, same result.</p> <p>At first I thought the firewire port might be failing. But since I can capture from other programs I eliminated that idea. All of my software is up to date and I have reinstalled my video drivers. I don't know if Quicktime, IE8 or some other piece is used by PPro and that the newer versions may cause this problem. I feel strongly that it stems from a change in the registry but don't know where to start looking. Everything worked perfectly two months ago when I finished my last big project. Any help is greatly appreciated. If I don't find a solution soon, I am moving to a Mac.</p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/blackmagic-capture-card-questions#post-51025 Wed, 23 Sep 2009 13:12:53 +0000 robgrauert 51025@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Well, HDV is by far not the best format. It's highly compressed, and capturing as uncompressed will do you no good. However, because of the long GOP compression of HDV, you don't want to edit in that codec either.</p> <p>I would try to capture you footage as DVCProHD. While it won't increase the quality if your image, it is an i-frame codec and it will be less demanding on your computer than uncompressed. I know many people have done this with FCP. You should be able to do that with Premiere. The BlackMagic card should allow for that conversion during ingest. </p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/blackmagic-capture-card-questions#post-51022 Wed, 23 Sep 2009 05:11:01 +0000 Esplanade77 51022@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Hi Robert,</p> <p>I'm shooting in HDV, with Premiere Pro CS4.</p> <p>I wanted to have the very best format since I am working on a project/documentary which will be sold in stores.</p> <p>What do you recommand ? </p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/blackmagic-capture-card-questions#post-50982 Tue, 22 Sep 2009 00:35:24 +0000 robgrauert 50982@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>What format of video are you shooting?

I liked the fact that he concluded by saying "this could be the last capture card you'll ever need". So I bought the Intensity Pro.</p> <p>What I didn't realize is that this card would obligate me to buy a whole brand new computer, wayyyyy more powerful than the current one, which I thought was very decent to work with HD. (to help out, this computer is not connected to Internet by any case, it's just dedicated to HD editing).</p> <p>Now, I run the Disk Speed utility, and I'm wayyyy too slow for the standards of my Intensity Pro in reading and reading, writing HD uncompressed goes all the way up to 465G/hour!</p> <p>I didn't realize those numbers were that high and would ask a lot to a system.</p> <p>But I really really really like to use the HDMI input to capture my footage. Firewire gives me trouble on a regular basis (dropped frames, camcorder not recognized...)</p> <p>My question is : Can I use the card to capture through HDMI and in a way, capture in compressed mode ?</p> <p>If I'm asking the question here, it's because I didn't get any answer back from the BlackMagic support team.</p> <p>Thank you for any input!</p> <p>Jean </p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/i-need-help-capturing-from-my-hvr-hd-100u-urgent#post-50435 Sat, 29 Aug 2009 13:37:38 +0000 memina 50435@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>yea in the timeline and monitor is showing with a letterbox.and i have it set to a 100 percent. when i zoom in it gets rid of the letterbox but obviously the footage is a lot closer, :O </p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/i-need-help-capturing-from-my-hvr-hd-100u-urgent#post-50421 Fri, 28 Aug 2009 21:19:07 +0000 tomskowronski 50421@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>All that matters is that it shows up in the Timeline window or monitor, what do you see when you do that and what is the setting on that monitor set to (125%, 200%, etc)? </p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/i-need-help-capturing-from-my-hvr-hd-100u-urgent#post-50420 Fri, 28 Aug 2009 21:13:29 +0000 memina 50420@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I NEED HELP PLEASE!!!

I've assumed that you have a PC since you don't seem to have FireWire built in. You don't mention if you are using a laptop or desktop. If you have a laptop you'll want to purchase an adapter that plugs into the expansion port. Check to see if your laptop take a 34 connector or 54 connector card. For a desktop you'll need to puchase a FireWire card and open the box to install it. </p> <p>Pinnacle Studio 12 does recognize Canon and Sony camcorders via FireWire, BTDT. But some of the other things about version 12 are better in their advertising than in delivery. For example the title screens look like there were generated on a 1988 model Apple computer. I've used Studio software since version 8 and there has been very little improvement in the appearance of the text used for titles.</p> <p> </p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/capturing-hd-video-on-64-bit-computer#post-49374 Wed, 22 Jul 2009 18:21:41 +0000 cfulton 49374@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Windows Movie Maker is considered the lowest common denominator for capturing video when nothing else works.
