Premiere 6.5: good choice for DVX100A?

[Jazzcam]

I've been using Premiere 6.5 for some time, and now have bought a DVX100A for doing some short documentaries. Any problem with using Premiere to edit? Do's & don'ts?

Thanks!

You'll have to spoot 24p (as opposed to 24pA) and edit in a 29.976 timeline (same as 60i). I havent used 6.5 for years.

 

[David Jimerson]

Correct. No 24p support in 6.5. Not what you want for working with the DVX.

Unless I'm remembering incorrectly, 6.5 doesn't offer real time FX, either. Don't you have to render everything, or have I lost my mind?

Everything became wonderful with Premiere 2.0. 1.5 is good, but 2.0 just made me smile when I first played with it.

just get 2.0

 

[dory_breaux]

Yeah Pro2.0 is bitchen. I'd still be using it if I didnt have CS3. What you gotta do is look around eBay or such for unopened copys.

 

[David Jimerson]

2.0 marked a considerable move for better, indeed. I use PP CS3 for about 25% of my stuff these days.

 

[dory_breaux]

CS3 is dee sheee(zy).

sorry to hijack your thread. what about premiere pro 7? i currently use it with my VX2100. but i'm planning to sell it and get a DVX. will a DVX work with premiere pro 7? info would be greatly appreciated.

thanks a bunch.

There is no "Premiere Pro 7" (didn't even Adobe make this mistake in branding at some point?)

Premiere 7 = Premiere Pro 1



Flow went like this (as far as major versions go, there where some smaller updates in between).
...
Premiere 4
Premiere 5
Premiere 6
Premiere 6.5 <<== Added 'native' DV support
Premiere Pro 1 / ("Premiere 7") <<== New engine/total rebuild, true YUV processing, no un-necesarry rendering.
Premiere Pro 1.5
Premiere Pro CS2
Premiere Pro CS3
Premiere Pro CS3.1 <<== Added P2/MXF support, current version, kicks ass.
