Adobe Premiere Pro capture

[vlakslee]

I just started using Premiere and found something that I can't figure. When capturing using Premiere it will stop the capture process all on it's own. And at different points on a VHS tape. I am caputuring using Canopus ADVC 55 and a Panasonic AG-1960. Since I am a real newbie with Premiere is there a setting I am missing? I have other capture programs but would like to get Premiere to work for me. It sees the preview just fine and capture starts fine too. Somewhere along the way it just stops the capture process. Once it was at 8 minutes, in another it made 15. No error message it seems like it is acting as though I told it to stop capturing, which I didn't. Wierd. And, no it isn't a demo. And this isn't a Macrovision or copyright issue.

The ADVC-55 is hardware converting VHS NTSC to DV format. Your computer should be fast enough.

What is your project format? I'll assume DV 720x480 29.97fps.

How do you have your scratch disks set? Make sure they are separate from the OS drive. You will need adequate free disk space.

Fat32 will divide files at 4GB (~18 min) but Premiere usually handles that with multiple files.

No other ideas for now.

There may be a setting which tells the software to auto abort when there is a "dropped frame" event. You may want to check that! Or I should say, uncheck that!
