Capture DV with Premiere

[kph]

Im just a beginer, forgive me if i sound like an idiot . How do i capture video from my DV CAM with Adobe premiere using Auto Scenes Detect like it does in Pin Studio (I kinda like this feature of Studio). If I try to import file captured from Studio, Premiere sees it as 1 file(1 clip) instead of 1 file broken into clips as scenes change. sorry! hope you get the idea what im talking about . again, im just a begginer, i find it much easier to edit using auto scene detect like i do in Pin StudioDV. does Premiere have this feature? It doesnt mention in its manual. any help is much appreciated.

Hi,
I am just a beginnier too.
To capture with premiere
go under file/capture/movie.
You then press record on the capture window and esc to stop recording.
After you have to name the file.
I did my first one tonight and it records it as an avi file.
5 minutes is like 1 gig. Wow!
I am wondering how to compress the thing now?
Anyway, I dont know if it can capture scene by scene sections. Not sure if I fully understand that, however, you can razor the full file into sections once in premiere.
Goodluck!

Hi,
It's hard to say, since you didn't mentioned about what the resolution size you are use during your test. If you use a higher resolution to caputre than the file size (5Min for about 1 Gig seems normal) If you use lower resolution (e.g. the vcd size) and you got the above mentioned file size than it seems abnormal.
If you caputer the video with high resolution and covert it to a mpeg file with lower resolution (such vcd format) the screen would be accptable.
But if you use the lower resoultion my convert to a mpeg file with the same the screen would be not so smooth and fine as the high resolution does.
Of couse you can compress the footage but it may lead to a distrotion, I haven't compress the footage by so far.
If you use premeier to capture the video under normal capture you can caputre it scence by scence. But if you use the story board function or command it can. Nether the normal capture nor story board caputre function can't be stop in middle.
