Capturing HDV Problem

I have been having a problem lately. I have been Capturing in Adobe Premiere Pro 1.5 and I have been capturing footage of a Canon XH G1 24P.

I upload the footage and when I put it on the time line or play it on the computer (raw) the audio is out of sync. How can I fix this problem?

Also, sometimes the footage speeds up with the audio not and then slows down.
 
It's a bug within Premiere that has never been fixed, even in CS3.

Don't capture in Premiere. Download HDVsplit (it's free) and use that instead. It gives you capture preview AND scene detect function, and the audio will not drift.

Does anyone know how this bug happened? Is there any solution?

Yes, there is a solution- use Vegas or FCP. Sorry, but Adobe adds new features without fixing old problems. Other than that, it's a great edit program. But the above suggestion is also valid, HDV Split is a decent little freebie app.

m2t (mpeg) file. It's exactly like Premiere would do it, except it actually works.

And it's free! Imagine that! Unlike Adobe, where I spent a couple hundred dollars upgrading to PP2, and was using the same bugs that were in PP1.

Once you capture, Premiere will edit the m2t file, just like any other one.
 
I decided to see if Premiere will capture footage that I shot a long time ago in 60p HDV and it captures it without and error. But, when I change the tape to the HDV 24p video it is out of sync.. :crybaby:
 
Hi,

I don't know if Premiere supports the Canon 24P thing.

There is a workaround, but I'm not a Canon user. I do recall seeing a link to it somewhere.

As for capturing, Premiere's foible on capturing HDV is pretty well known. I also recommend HDVSplit. You can use Renamer to batch re-name the clips from filename.m2t to filename.mpg, if that helps for helper applications to make the Canon 24P thing work.
 
There's your problem. The 24p thing.

I have a Canon HV20 and struggled with getting 24p to work at first.
Cineform HDLink is one solution. But it's a few hundred bucks.

I ended up doing it with After Effects. Basicaly I downloaded HDVSplit (the free program everyone is talking about). Used it to capture the M2Ts seperated by each take which Premeire won't do.

Then I brought each one into AE, clicked on interpret footage and guess pulldown. After Effects gets it right 99% of the time. The only errors I've gotten is sometimes it makes the footage lower field first (it's always upper).

Then I export the clip (personally) as a quicktime photo-jpeg high quality but other settings work as well.

That's my solution. As far as I know Premeire has no way of guessing pulldown removal.

Good luck.
 
Ya, I am really frustrated that I shot with 24p then 60p. I downloaded HDVSplit but I have been encountering many errors.

-When I record, it will seperate files and not make it to one.
- The video is distored
- When the capturing is done, it will freeze and It will not respond.
-It says that its losing some packets... what does that mean? frames? How can I fix this?

I do have AE and I will try your method Loney.

THere is got to be a way I can import this footage.. =[
 
I tried the Vegas Trial and for some reason when I capture it gives split the capture to like 10 million different mtf clips.
