Does CS3 still capture digitial video from an older camera onfirewire? : Adobe Premiere

Application Development · #1 02-01-2008, 01:02 PM

I have a new PC (HP Media Center M8120N). I am running Vista Home
Edition. I connect my digital camcorder to the firewire port and
Vista seems to recognize it, but I Premiere doesn't seem to recognize
it. Is this because this version of Premiere (CS3) is really for HD
or Digital file editing? Could it be Vista?

I hooked up my camera to my older PC and I could not capture that
machine either. That machine is running CS3, with Windows XP. I have
been able to capture on this machine before with Adobe Premiere Pro
2.0.

Looks like I might want to downgrade.

You might go to your camera's website and see if there are new Vista
drivers available for your camera. I use Premier Pro CS3 and capture using
the firewire. It's not a HD camera. So, I know it works on older cameras.

Also, check your capture settings in Premier to make sure you are capturing
DV and not HD.
