Adobe Premiere Problem

    I'm posting this for a mate who wants me to try and sort it for him. If it rings any bells with anyone here then please let me know as I haven't a bog about Premiere.

    Paste of mail:
    O.k the problem seems to be with the video capture.
    When you bring in the clips into the project (the name of a file in
    premiere [.ppj]), in this case .avi's, you line
    them up and then export them together as a movie, the settings of
    which you determine yourself (resolution, picture size, codec, etc.).
    One of the settings is CAPTURE.
    In Capture you choose the file format to export out as
    e.g .avi,.mov etc but now there is no option, as next to the pull
    down menu a
    message reads ' unable to connect to video capture '. I've tried
    re-installing the software (Adobe Premiere 5.5), re-installing
    the video driver and even writing an .ini file which it said in the
    readme file would solve this problem with older video capture cards
    although my card is fairly recent so it was a bit of a stab in the
    dark. As i said to you it has run succesfully before so it can be
    done. At this stage i'm at a bit of a loss as what to do. One thing
    that did occur to me is wether it will make a difference if Premiere
    is installed on the C or D drive. In the readme file it did say you
    can check the compatability of the card against Adobe Premiere and
    that Drivers for cards are updated regularly. If anything springs to
    mind let us know.

    Just to add, his card is a geforce2 mx and he has reinstalled Adobe Premiere to no effect.

    This is the way i believe it works. I have an ati card and it works this way.
    The card he has, runs the video capture through the card itself. which is not a dedicated video capture card it just has capture as an extra feature on top of the graphics. It works differently from dedicated capture cards and you usually have to use the supplied capture software that came with the card.
    Premier is set up to use the pro card system(what ever that is). Im sure they figure if you are going to spend the amount of money required for premier you will also get a dedicated card.


    Of course i could be wrong smile.gif

    To be honest you're better off capturing with
    the bundled software or something like virtualdub (http://www186.pair.com/vdub/)
    and then bringing in to Premiere, as Premiere's own capturing capabilities are pants with your run off the mill home capture card..

    also has it's benefitifical outside of premire in that more system resources can be dedicated to the capture and compression(improving quality) giving you a better source quality than that given from a resource stretched machine trying to capture and run Premire at the same time.

    2p,
