AndyMan 7 #1 February 18, 2003 Is there an easy way to get video into Premiere from my VCR using my PC120 as an intermediary? Do I have to record to DV, then import, or is there a way I can grab the analog signal off the VCR without first recording to DV? Thanks, _Am__ You put the fun in "funnel" - craichead.

freeflyanvil 0 #2 February 18, 2003 I think the only way to get into premiere with out converting to digital is with a video card that supports analog capture. The ATI all in wonder is a low end card capable of this. You probably dont want to get another video card... You can recorder to your pc120 via the composite cable from your vcr, then just capture via firewire to premiere as you would with footage that you've shot.Vid "stons fal, evrysing fals, but doesnt on purpos change its flite pas an positioning..."

"Do I have to record to DV, then import, or is there a way I can grab the analog signal off the VCR without first recording to DV? " Thats about it, unless you have an analogue to DV convertor or 'bridge' like a dazzle or similar. Or an analogue card with decent capture resolution.... Pug the video into your cam, pop open a cool one and let them do their stuff. Whilst enjoying your cool one, use the opportunity to log the footage, and prepare your edit decision lists...Maybe even try out some diferent choonz to see how they flow together. You will of course suffer 'generation loss' from the VCR to the cam, but that's inevitable.-------------------- He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.

vidiot 0 #4 February 18, 2003 That should be doable with any miniDV/Digital8 camera with 'Analog-In'... Don't know about other cams, but for a PC-9 enable 'Analog->DV' in one of the menues, plug your VCR into the analog port, your PC into the firewire port, start capturing and VCR, et voilá! And no, you don't have to record while capturing. HTH, KlausMy Logbook Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
