Adobe Premiere 4.0, 4.01, 4.21. Under the File menu, verify the preference selected for Scratch Disk- this should be set to your video drive. It's probably best to set all your scratch disk settings to your video drive. 2. You can set the General preferences Start-Up Window to None. You do not need to create a project when capturing a movie for PostView, so there is no need to have the new project window open when launching Premiere.3. Select Movie Capture from under the File Menu. It's located as a sub-set under the Capture menu. This adds another item to the menu bar called MovieCapture. 4. From the Movie Capture menu, select Recording Settings. 5. Within Recording Settings, select capture at 320x240 and check the constrain box. Also check Conform Movie and select the correct frame rate- 29.97 for NTSC color video, 25 for PAL color video or 24 for film. Most often, this should be set to 29.97 for NTSC color video. These are the only three perameters that need to be checked in Recording Settings. Click OK. 6. From the Capture Movie menu, select Video Input.7. There are three or four sub-windows within this selection that need to be verified depending on the version of Premiere you are using. a. Compression- Verify that the compressor selected corresponds to the compressor card you are using; Radius VVS, Targa or MoviePack. *If you are using 4.0 or 4.01 Premiere, Control click on the Quality fader. This should bring up the Data Transfer window. Do not check Horizontal Interpolation. Check the boxes for Adaptive Compression and Maintain data rate. Enter a value between .5m/sec and 1.0m/sec in the data transfer rate box. In most cases, Premiere may default to or allow you to enter a value higher than 1.0. Do not select a data transfer rate higher that 1.0 megs per second. This will produce playback problems within PostView. Running the Test function within this section allows you to determine the maximum meg/sec selectable based upon the speed of your drive. !! Once again, do not enter a value higher than 1.0 megs per second!! b. Image- This section allows you to change the settings associated with the image you see on your screen. There is no need to change these settings. c. Input- This allows you to select the actual input connector you are using to feed video into your capture card. Some capture cards have multiple inputs to select from such as composite 1, composite 2 and S-video. d. Studio- This selection is available from with 4.2 and higher Premiere. It is the same box you would see by Control clicking on the Quality fader in an earlier version of Premiere. Do not check Horizontal Interpolation. Check the boxes for Adaptive Compression and Maintain data rate. Enter a value between .5m/sec and 1.0m/sec in the data transfer rate box. See the compression setting under letter A'for more details. 8. Sound Off. Verify that Sound Off is checked.
