Adobe Premiere 6.0


Question

I have captured a 1 gig movie from a firewire camera using Adobe Premiere 6.0. In the monitor window, when I want to preview the movie it seems as if it's skipping frames. I have a P4 1.5 with 512megs of ram, and yes I have a legit version of the software.. I had the same issue at work, but then I had to do something else and left it there for about 10mins or so and it worked fine. Does anyone know what could be causing this??? Thanks

I have the same problem w/ both Windows and Mac. Whenever its left for a long time it skips frames.

However..make sure you installed the latest update for premeire 6 installed and make sure that in the camera settings you have the right camera selected.

Also..make sure that the option to NOT drop frames is selected:)

hope that helps..

Have you tried playing the video in another application? I know sometimes the Monitor acts a little weird, but when you output the video and view it in, say, Windows Media Player, it all looks okay. So see what it looks like in another app . . .

Good luck,

Nick

The only problem I'm having is when I try to preview in that Monitor window to edit the movie. If I open the avi file in windows media player everything is sweet and beautiful...

The thing with leaving premiere alone for couple minutes is that it was working fine afterwards...

And yes, I have the right camera selected... But where is the option to NOT drop frames??? I'm new to this software so sorry for asking basic questions.

I'd put it on a seperate partition.

That way it won't get mixed with the other files, or defrag before you do.

I've had the skipping once but then I made a serperate partition just for it, and haven't had any problems.

Partition and defrag alot I'd say.

Maybe I have to change the speed at which that monitor window plays?? I just looked at the time and it seems that it's going too slow.. Maybe that's why, anyone know how to make it go at normal speed?

check your initial frame rate, and your post-captured frame rate, and make sure that they are the same, other than that, unless you are compressing it on the fly, it shouldn't drop any frames on ya.

Thanks to everybody that tried to help me out on this. I went to the adobe's knowledge base and found the solution...

If anyone has the same issues here is the solution to it http://www.adobe.com/support/techdocs/29b56.htm

Basically, when you preview your movie in the monitor window the movie also plays in the camcorder. So you have to turn that off by doing this...

Project -> Project Settings -> General, click on the playback settings button, uncheck the option Playback on DV Camcorder/VCR
