How better and easy to capture VHS for editing in Premiere CS4?

I've got some tapes VHS in 2000 that I really want to get into the Premiere CS4.  I have a large Alienware that runs on Win10 and I also have a beautiful G raid external hard drive.  I read on Amazon on some of these gadgets that you plug into your VHS machine and it has a USB port on the other end.  It seems that the comments are sporadic, so I wonder if anyone knows the best way to collect those VHS tapes?

One thing I don't want to do is open my Alienware and put a plank in.  I am not mechanically inclined to do.  In any case looking for suggestions, etc. who would work with a Win10 machine.  Thank you.

If you have a Firewire connection, he should work on W10.  You may need to use the legacy Firewire driver:

    Well, if I were to buy this model I would intensify the processor i7 - 2620 m for only $95, plus you get a helping hand from 2.0 GHz to 2.7 GHz.  CPU is the most important point for NLE.  If for any reason any you are not upgrading CPU, cut back on the graphics card to the GT 550 M

    How do you meet the minimum requirements of system Adobe Premiere of 2 hard drives?  I see that they offer a second option.  If you are sure that it does not require a Dell in car of the brand and that it requires no additional hardware to install it you might be able to do it yourself which would be a bit cheaper, but there are two risks I mentioned.

  • How to properly configure a graphics card for SpeedGrade, Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects?

    Okay, so I have the following system configuration:

    2 NVIDIA Geforce GTX 970 s

    5960 X CPU

    MSI X 99 game 7 motherboard

    32 GB DDR4 RAM

    256 GB and 1 TB Samsung 850 Pro SSD

    Basically, even if I have the whole system built together, I'm not sure how check and know whether or not Adobe Premiere Pro is in fact using the map graphic or not.  I know it has to be using some of them, otherwise it would not run correctly (as I discovered a recent experience).  However, I don't know if there is, perhaps, some settings in the NVIDIA Control Panel that must be configured so that Premiere Pro can use the card to its full potential.  Here's an example of what I'm talking about:

    iVSmo66.pngJudvG6a.png

    In other words, they are (I'm sure) all of the default settings of the Control Panel applies to Premiere Pro.  However, I don't know if there are any parameters here that I should change or not.  So what I'm looking for an answer to this question:

    • What parameters, if any, should change for Premiere Pro (as well as other adobe applications that can use all the force of the 970 GTX)?
    • How can I check the GPU activity it is applied during rendering?  (For example, I can check with the Task Manager, CPU usage while I made to see that it is used at 100%).
    • If, perhaps, something goes wrong and even with the right settings, say that the card still is not fully used, what other settings can I change to ensure that the GTX 970 is fully used by Adobe first Pro/After effects/SpeedGrade CC 2014?

    If you want a reference point to measure the performance of Premiere Pro to your: drive system, GPU and CPU use our first Pro BenchMark (PPBM)

    When you finish running the test and then run the script, you will get this report

    In this case the result of my laptop (with a GTX 765 M GPU and SSD drives)

    1. The disk performance are explicit.
    2. Number 2 is a very complex timeline of seven layers with heavy assistance from CPU and GPU, without hardware acceleration GPU (processor only) should be longer than 1350 seconds.
    3. Three above is a measure of a chronology exaggerated using many, many GPU MPE accelerated effects and characteristics using a GPU to 99% of load (54 seconds above) and an export-only CPU of the same timeline (802 seconds).

    If you want to compare your results to others, that you need to register on the site PPBM7 to see the results.

    EDIT! I corrected the number 2 above originally, I said 900 seconds, but he was really longer than 1350 seconds

  • Best export settings Full HD for YouTube using Premiere CS4

    Dear all,
    In advance, thank you for your time.
    I'm downloading sports videos on YouTube especially snooker.
    http://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=s5qyGPld8U8
    The videos are captured with a video camera high quality and then edited with Adobe Premiere CS4.
    Can I ask two questions:
    1. who are the best export settings for Youtube if you use a file of source Full HD (1920 x 1080) at 30 frames per second?
    For the export file, I use the same width and height that the source file is 1920 x 1080.
    However, the original file is shot at 30 frames per second, but I read somewhere that I have included use 59,94 frames per second for the export file, and it seems to work even if it doesn't sound right, it :-)
    My current settings for my export file are:
    Video settings
    Main Concept H.264 video
    Width and Height: 1920 x 1080
    FPS: 59,94 frames per second
    Pixel Aspect Ratio: Square Pixels
    Profile: hand
    Level: 4.2
    Flow settings
    Encoding Bitrate: VBR, 1 Pass (I also use 2 because there is no worse that it takes just as long to return, pls correct me if I'm wrong)
    Target Bitrate: 4.8
    Maximum flow rate: 8.2
    PLEASE PLEASE FIX THE ABOVE SETTINGS AND EXPLAIN WHY IF POSSIBLE, THANK YOU MUCH :-)
    2 is it normal that the video export plays a lot on my PC but when uploaded to YouTube it jumps frames and it seems a little choppy?
    I watched a lot of clips on YouTube in 720 p or 1080 p and v seemed good, when I looked at my that he wasn't playing as well as it does on my pc.
    Should I keep in mind to help the YouTube Player by chnaging my export settings.
    If you please comment on the above and also watch my videos for your comments on how to improve the quality.
    THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME!

    You are welcome

    interlaced was sorta invented for use with the tv broadcast and the quality is very good and sometimes even better than progressive (even today) if there is a lot of 'Action' in a scene (less blur in the individual images if you look at the individual images to compare)... also, most DVD to date were burned of interlaced footage and many blue ray are too...

    The DVD or blue ray player can understand what type of tv it is connected to (widescreen digital tv or old crt 4:3 tv) and deliver the right signal to make it all good look...

    So there is no need to think progressive isn't automatically BETTER interlaced... it depends on a lot of things...

    lets see if Ann weighs with cs4 settings for you... then read you these files pdf, hehe... you'll be an expert in no time!

    PS... If you are interested, check out the news of color samples (you YUV and 4.2.0

    I mention this as it might be more useful late re: reproduction of the right color on your exports (your color of youtube has been a little more 'saturated' IMO... very very green and very very red)... then at some point maybe that can be fixed up a little bit too...

  • How to import video from a dvd to edit in first CS4

    I have some old DVD that I created and now do not have files or original projects.  How can I retrieve the video on a DVD to edit first?

  • lock audio for editing in Premiere Elements

    I'm creating a slideshow with Pan and zoom so that importing video clips.  I created a "Bo" with music imported audio titles 2 and 3 and manually 'mixed' music for the audio clips appear "staggered" on the timeline (that is, a partial song on the track 2), following partial song on track 3, next partial song on track 2, etc.  I manually entered time markers for my planned video changeset (as I did for all my projects NLE software on other platforms).  However, every time I shorten a video clip, all the contents of tracks audio 2 and 3 moves left proportionally.  And of course then my time for the rest of the project markers don't line up.  It's completely maddening.  I can't find a way to "pin" or "lock" the audio tracks in the timeline. It is not even a video accompaniment for these tracks - just music.  Whenever I have shorten a clip to match the beat, 'the most' me and moves all future audio out of sync. And I have to shorten each clip because, for still images, the duration of the clip is defined when the stills are 'imported' to the project.  There must be a way to disable this audio floating.  Any ideas...?  I would be grateful...!

    Welcome to the forum.

    Unfortunately, pre does not lock the tracks, as does PrPro. I asked for this feature for several years and for each new version of pre, because I believe that it is very important and useful.

    Usually, I added my Bo as the last thing I do, just before I / the share of exports, so it doesn't bother me that much, but do what you are, or if you're doing a music video, then being able to lock these Audio tracks (I Lock the video tracks in PrPro too often), would be such a useful feature.

    We will seek a way to get what I think you want, as a few extra steps could make life a little easier. You have your 'mixed' on two separate Audio tracks Audio Clips. You have edited them, as you wish. I would think any export/share JUST the Audio to 48 kHz 16-bit PCM/WAV format. That effectively blend your two tracks of Audio in a single stereo file. Then you can import the output file in your project, by replacing the two tracks of Audio Clips. In a single file, it won't move, when you change your video. Two things to consider: in the output file, you will probably lose your markers to beat, but can add those back, and when you go to edit the Clips, which are "covered" by the other Clips, some of the change in functions do not work, just as they did when they were not covered, such as delete and close Gap - the gap will not close. It would be even, if you had a video Clip above that you were editing. Still, for most editing functions, which is not a problem, but that will depend on how you edited your Clips at this point. For still images, you can Ripple edit and change up/down time, as needed. If you work with video Clips and have enough additional images (called handles, when dealing with Transitions), you can do the same thing with them. If they don't have adequate management, you may have to mix things up a bit everywhere.

    By exporting/sharing the Audio in a single file, you have, in essence, locked this Audio track.

    As a side note, some users have met problems with both of the fixed Audio tracks, music, and Narration. The usual "fix" is to use one of the 'regular' free just Audio tracks - just like you have already done. I refrain from using the soundtrack or Narration (though I've never had these problems), because so many others have reported them.

    Good luck, and maybe, we will all be lucky, and Adobe will honor some feature to track locking requests.

  • Text templates created in After Effects for editing in Premiere Pro can be installed on an another workstation that has no After Effects installed?

    Hello

    I'm trying to compile and install simple lower third templates to be installed on computers used by producers 50 +. The models that I created and installed on my Macbook (using this workflow How to create templates for Premiere Pro text |) Adobe after effects CC tutorials) work very well, but if I install it on Mac with first Pro ONLY (no installed AE) we see offline. Are these models can be installed & changed text on a workstation without AE? Or AE needs to be installed to operate?

    Thank you

    After Effects must be installed. It's just like any other item based on dynamic links: After Effects is called behind the scenes to render the results.

  • What is the best intermediate codec should I use for editing in Premiere Pro CS6

    I am a photographer at video edting and unfamiliar with codecs. I work with video Time lapse 1920x1080p generated by Lightroom 4 through LRTimelapse, which uses the H.264 mp4 codec.  My video clip features movements of a camera bump that has stabilized through Warp, but there also slowed a little need to reach a specific length. String and time remapping can be done on the same sequence, so I think I need to export the clip stabilized string in an intermediate file, re - import in to the body and then slow down the clip. I tried MXF OP1a: class AVC-Intra 100 1080. Video re-imported mxf blurs when previewing, but is strong when the clip is stopped.

    1. What is the best intermediate codec for further editing?

    2. is it important what order are stabilizing Warp and time remapping?

    3 or is there a better way to stabilize AND slow down a clip?

    System

    iMac 27 i7 2.8 GHz quadruple-heart, Os X 10.8.2

    You don't need to export to an intermediate file.

    Add timeremapping, right-click on the clip and the nest, and then adds the string.

  • Satellite P10: How unzippe and install the drivers

    Dear friends

    a the can advise me.
    I load updates but I've never used winzip before but my xp Wizard did it for me.

    Have put them in a folder, I have no idea how to install them.

    I have installed many programs before but not of record

    Thanks colin

    Hi colin

    It's very simple. You must first install the WinZip software. You can also use the WinRAR.
    The WinRAR does the same job as Winzip but in my view it of much better and easier.

    So as said install WinRAR, download driver Toshiba and unzip the folder of the driver!
    Then, you will get a new folder with the driver inside.

    Access the new created folder and complete the driver installation.

  • W700 for editing

    Hi all!

    I'm ready to update my HDD W700 stock (160BG 7, 200rpm) with something faster. I was thinking to get a SSD for the system disk (operating system and programs) using the Ultrabay HDD caddy that I no longer use the DVD drive and set the W700 raid0 for editing with a few discs of 500 GB 7 200 RPM.

    I was wondering if the connection used on housing ultrabay for the DVD player has the speed of transfer as well as for hard disks. anyone has any experience setting up 3 hard disks on the W700?

    An SSD in the Ultrabay W700 housing is able to operate in mode SATA 300.

  • Which Codec to use for editing?

    Hello world.

    I have some pretty big decompressed files whose first pro is faced with. The files are only 02:20 seconds but 20 GB in size with a flow 1244163 Kbps. My computer can be read, but it is not smooth. Because I add effects and work on different video tracks, I think it's a good idea to encode this movie before editingh with her in first.

    So I was wondering what is the best codec and wrapper to encode with for editing? Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Thank you

    I would probably go with the 175 DNxHD codec, maybe the 175 x (10-bit) if the source warrants.

    Hi stephenf95557665,

    (1) you can simply save the file on your computer as allows you to save in the older version of the player, it is not necessary to register I your cloud of document.

    If you save the file to the document cloud, you will be able to access any system from anywhere.

    (2) If you still think earlier version users need, then they can probably uninstall the last being & reinstall the old version using this link http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
