Premiere Pro (Video Collection)

[haferka]

What card would you recomend to replace a Pinnacle Pro-one RTDV.

Canopus : DVStorm2

OR

Matrox : RT.X100 Xtreme Pro

I am looking for something that will be STABLE in a multiuser environment (windows XP on a win 2000/2003 Domain with Roaming profiles). I have 5 identical machines.

from the adobe folks
Adobe Premiere Pro works best with video cards that support Direct 3D. Video cards that don't support Direct 3D (and use GDI mode) may have performance issues that affect speed and make the video appear to have dropped frames
from me:
the software is very buggy unless you use very new stuff and approved stuff.

Here are the very few choices you have for capture cards at present

TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION...THIS STUFF IS TOO NEW BUT FOLKS SEEM TO SAY THAT THE MATROX SYSTEM IS MORE HANDSHAKED THAN canopus OFFERING

they are both equal stable -- though i would give a slight edge to Canopus : DVStorm2 because of less driver conflict

but really - they both are about the same....

bj_m do you go from personal experience?
because I speak only from reading Adobe forums
my captures are done DV in another BOX with 2000 and 6.5

I have a Matrox RTX.100 Card and it works great with Premiere Pro and the other Video Collection apps.
Lots of great transitions and effects built in for Premiere.

experiance only in what others told me and also reading the matrox forums where there seems to be more (but not a huge amount) issues than on the canopus forums ..

i also use external converters if im working with dv -- but you lose the semi real time advantages of matrox and canopus that way .. butusing vegas - it doesnt mater anyway as it is basicly real time in software ....
