Adobe Premier 6.5

[macmac15]

Last night I installed this bad boy on my computer and gave it a try, with my ADVC-100.

The Video captured just fine, but when I played it back in Adobe, it was jerky.

I flipped around in the options menus and changed a few things and this fixed it, not sure what I changed, but it fixed the issue.

On my video that I captured, it was comming from a VHS tape. The video it's self was a bit grainy, and it showed in the captured video.

This is where my questions come in.

First one, I know that applying filters will help clean this up, but how much should I hope for?

Secound, what are the best filters to use for this, are there any standard list for it?

Thired, how the heck do you apply filters in Adobe Premiere 6.5 to the video?

macmac15,
Ok, your in the capture forum BUT, for Adobe help I'll give you two links to go to. They are really good for the kind of info you are looking for.

Good tutorials and excellent forum

The other resource that is worth it's weight in gold is a book called "Teach yourself Adobe Premiere Visually" It's by Wiley publishing

Premiere is a kick a$$ program if you can tame it.... It only took me 1 1/2 years to get it right... Have fun! Good luck!

Did you play it back in the timeline? Try playing it back in mediaplayer. Or, play the clip by previewing it before you put it in the timeline. Y^ou do this by clicking on the thumbnail.

the jerkiness was probably caused by your ADVC-100...the way Premiere 6.5 works, it tries to export both to your desktop and back out to your cam/deck/DV device at the same time, giving priority to the DV Device (as output is more important than a desktop preview). Disconnect your ADVC-100 when you want to preview on your desktop...it will be smoother.


Have a good holiday,

As one writer alluded to but didn't flesh out

NEVER USE THE PLAYER IN PREMIERE

IT SUCKS

Instead when you want to view what you've created, if premiere has opened the clip upon completion, close the open clip window*..minimize premiere

go outside the program and drag the newly rendered file to media player 6.4 or if its mpeg, use power dvd xp

THIS WILL SAVE YOU THE INTENSE GRIEF of NOT BEING ABLE TO SEE YOUR RENDERED CLIPS PROPERLY!

*this eliminates bizarre permissions bugs in WINDOWS/PREMIERE

Also use preview/render to see what your project looks like. You can do everything from within Adobe. You just have to learn the ins and outs of Adobe. It is rich with features. The preview window can be enlarged. The timeline can be made smaller. In the project window, click on the file icon to view the clip.

One thing:you can't apply filters during DV 'Capture'.It's really a file transfer.Apply filters as Video Filters in HW before your capturing device or apply a SW filter afterwards.
