How do you propose I have better import and modify many portions of old VHS?

I read the recent postings to the digitization of the multiple DVD and found it to be very interesting and informative. I searched in the archives, but did not run in an ad with exactly my question and I apologize because I know there must be others with the same question. That's what I have and want to do: Vista with an external Seagate attached via USB 2. I have Adobe Premier elements 3 but I am ready to buy another form of software and another form of external hard drive. I have a Firewire port.

I have a box of old VHS tapes of the recitals, dance my child, ball games, etc... the bands are very long, but often have only small portions of interest on them and now that my children are older, they are only interested in the 5 minutes of themselves. I would like to import the video and burn to dvd the relevant parts of the VHS.

I need to know both the equipment suggested to use to connect to the computer... what software I do you suggest that I use to edit images. Or maybe you have other suggestions.

I used the first a bit. I've never used huge files, like an endless dance recital so I hope you tell me there's a way that I could perhaps find a device that would allow me to view and scan only the parts that I want... or, perhaps, it would be best to take these tapes somewhere and have it make a DVD and then is there a way to import only part of them in this way? These are NOT videos of world class... (in fact, 20 years later I realize how much I was wasting my money! (HA!)

I have been clear in what I need and the kind of advice I ask?

Thanks for any advice you could offer me.

Here's what I did, more like an accident, rather than a process thought to spend a lot of money, or get the best possible quality when converting.

I had a bunch of old analog tapes, just like you and always thought that it would be very kool to get them in a format that I can use and load on my PC.

When I bought my DV Handycam, one of the options I was looking for was "Analog passthrough' capability. This basically allows connect an analog device such as a VCR and a video copy of your Handycam.

Office "DVD burners" usually have analog connections and can basically do the same thing.

With this feature, I then slowly went through the process of moving all my old recordings on my PC.

It did not work, yes he did.

Was it easy, Yes, it was (to the extent of the connection cable).

Has been tedious and a little of your time, Yes, Yes and Yes.

But over time I had all my old recordings on my PC and in a format that was initiated for the edition. (You can also make some changes in bulk to source the conversion).

With respect to the quality, whereas the video source and method of conversion, I was very happy with the end result and anyone who considers the clips (on PC or TV), has a hard time to see the differences between the final product and the source.

Would a dedicated HW device as Canopus gave better, most likely Yes, but in my case, the only time lets just move my tapes was not profitable. The purchase of a Cam with passthrough, or a DVD burner, works great and could be used for other things.

(One caveat, with Canopus or bridge HW configuration, the process is faster because it allows you to directly analog to DV - AVI. And DV - AVI is the goal of format for easy mounting with PE7).

A sure thing, my family and my friends get a hugh expel to see (because they are older in years).

And no one ever complains of the quality of the videos...

  • How do you define a plugin to import timecode?

    Hey guys.  How do you define the time code of an importer plugin?  I feel I'm missing something.  In Premiere Pro, you can set the timecode when you receive a call from imGetTimeInfo8.  What is the equivalent in AE?  I searched the docs, and I see a lot of information on the time, the effect time display, etc.  But can't seem to find how to set the time in a plugin of the importer.

    Thank you!

  • Produce a DVD - want to know what codec AVI (limited options) results better import and edit

    (Back story)

    I am an amateur filmmaker, producing a doco for a Center Community rural nsw, Australia.

    We shot the film with a Canon MVX2i miniDV cassettes. The camera is about 7 years old and we do not have the original software for it, there is no reading Auto (PC cannot detect automatically the necessary drivers). We have not been able to find the drivers that can help the camera speak to our PC. (this is the service pack 1 of Windows XP x 64). Canon does not need driver and we were unable to find the drivers on third party sites.

    Anyone with any thoughts or ideas on how to fix this problem?

    (Main issue)

    We have access to a VIDBOX -VHS to DVD USB key that digitizes the Ribbon.

    The VHS to the DVD-ROM allows the choice to capture the images in AVI or WMV formats (only) format.

    I guess capture to AVI would be best for the job in the first, but I'm not sure which to choose audio and video codecs.

    -What is the best codec AVI use with Premiere Pro CS4, our intention is to burn the project on DVD.

    Are so the options that we have;

    Video codec

    -unpack

    -the main concept (adobe 2) encoder h.264/AVC video

    -l' encoder (adobe 2) main concept mpeg video

    -compressor mpeg

    -radius cinepak

    -microsoft video 1

    Audio codec Options

    decompress

    Encoder (adobe 2) main concept mpeg video

    IMA ADPCM

    PCM

    AC3

    MPEG layer 3

    Microsoft ADPCM

    GSM 6.10

    CITT A - LAW

    Need advice on the set of codecs will be better suited for mounting in first pro version cs4 in order to create a DVD project

    Appreciate the ideas, advice or opinions. I am a volunteer for a non-profit organization, we have limited resources, equipment and expertise at our disposal.

    Your camera is fine. Its a mini-dv and you don't need drivers.

    Just connect the camera to firewire and capture with first port.

    You don't have to worry about any codec that it will automatically capture in DV - avi.

    Make sure that your sequence settings is DV pal or ntsc standard or widescreen.

    When you have edited your timeline you send your project to yet (dynamic links)

    Create your menu and burn them on dvd. Leave all default.

  • Missing photos, folders in Lightroom 6 after importation. Lightroom stores a copy of the photos that have been imported and if so where?

    My nanny/photographer improved his Lightroom to worm. 6. She left the old version 4.4 on as well, so I think she just did a straight installation of v6. It has imported several hundred photos directly from memory cards in Lightroom 6, without copying the files on the computer. She was then abducted and subsequently deleted the pictures from the memory card. These records show now with a question mark in Lightroom, I imagine that it is looking for the files on the memory card. Bright room makes a copy of the files when they are imported or let just a pointer as to where they have been imported from?

    She also found with multiple catalogs. CAT 1 is a little bigger, then Cat 3, but the House of light can not open the file and provides the following error message: "Lightroom cannot use the catalog named"Lightroom Catalog"because it is not writable and cannot be opened."

    If TI LR retains a copy I was hoping they were perhaps in Cat 1, who was the first that was created.

    Thank you

    Chris

    Someone has a misunderstanding about Lightroom and its import process. Importing images into Lightroom does not mean that Lightroom will ingest these images. The import process is one of saying Lightroom where to store the images on the hard drive. Then Lightroom keeps track of these images in this folder location and combines the image settings. If the images were imported in the usual way, they should be located in a folder on the hard disk.

    If you say that the images were just imported while remaining on the map (I thought that Lightroom who wouldn't) then if they have not been copied to the hard drive you will have images. Just previews.

  • After you have uninstalled Photoshop and Premiere Elements of my (old) computer, about a year ago, I'm now impossible to accept the serial numbers printed on my new computer Win10 - please help (my first forum). The site noted maintenance?

    Due to a series of problems with my computer old (now), I uninstalled Adobe Photoshop and Premiere Elements, after carefully printed on the profile and serial numbers.  Now, after buying a Windows 10 HP desktop, I tried to install a very valuable software.  From the beginning of the installation, I entered the serial number - as - my print-out.  He refused and I was asked to enter again!   Checked and re-checked-exactly as I had entered it.  But the refusal of those same numbers have persisted.

    Logging into my account - after the link printed for the serial number of the product (https://www.adobe.com/go/acctmgmtserialnum) has failed to implement a destination in my browser - I see that there is mention of maintenance — although the denial of my serial number was not this as a problem, rather simply accepting the number.  Under my products, I drew the caveat that the information could not be provided.

    I learned that a forum - an area in which I never dared before - is my ONLY option.  Even though I remember receiving a lot of emails about CC - I was very happy with my existing Photoshop and still haven't use iCloud.

    As a 'beginner' complete in this way to get an answer, please help.

    Photoshop has been replaced and now to keep my software being installed as redundant?  Is it simply the maintenance being undertaken - and the rejection of serial number simply a warning "generic"?  -Thank you in advance - for any help you can afford me.

    I was not yet looking for Adobe Premiere Elements - waiting for the same print to attract the same rejection of the number.

  • How do you get all the files visible and shareable for the creative team of Cloud?

    Hi all

    My design team small recently signed for the composition of the creative team of cloud. It comes with 100 GB of storage space. As my team is scattered about the geography (two in the United States, one in Australia), we hoped to use this storage space as a way to share files more easily and control version on the joint projects.

    Searching through the help, it seems, however, that you have to select each file individually to share, and then type in an e-mail link. That could become very heavy when downloading multiple files.

    I think that, as a team setting, there is a way to define a default value for sharing on all or some members of the team so that each person can access the files without have to choose each one individually.

    Is this possible? I have the lack somewhere?

    Thank you!

    Currently, it is not possible using the CC file sharing mechanism. You must select the files individually and share them.

  • How to restore files that have been ransacked and then emptied trash?

    My brother accidentally trashed a folder he need, then empty the trash.  The folder contains mostly or entirely Word docs.

    Can someone tell me which software is best to use and anything else that I might need to know? The data is quite important.  We have a second mac, a Flash DRIVE and an external hard drive.

    It has already found: http://www.easeus.com/mac/mac-undelete-free/ is good?

    I think that the computer executes Yosemite and was not yet upgraded to El Capitan.  Not sure if it would make a difference anyway.

    Thank you.

    Try to use a waste product of data, such as those listed here. Do not write on the disc until the files are recovered or you choose not to recover them. For best results, close it, connect your two Macs via FireWire/Thunderbolt and start the MacBook Pro with the key T.

    If utilities do not work, you can contact a professional data recovery service, but these can charge hundreds or thousands of dollars.

  • How can you replace 'Row' in the paging and the text of the error?

    Have developed by their Summit for a while, I just joined this forum today. I use Apex 4.2 and I want to know how to change the references to 'row' in these circumstances:

    (1) the text of pagination i.e. rows 1-30 of...

    (2) error in a table that is, enter a value for name (line 2)

    Call a record row is a little geeky and very well for people of origins RDBMS, but for client applications, especially those used by the public, row is at best a confusing term for them. This is especially true if customers read using the alternative interpretation of the word 'row', in other words an argument.

    Is there a way to replace to say something like ' bills 1-30 of...» "and enter a value for the name (2 products)'?

    Hello

    answer late bit then maybe you have already found a way.

    I checked and found that my solution seems to work for all languages but English... Sorry about that.

    For the English text, it does not seem possible to translate/replace text using the standard method, I wasn't aware of this.

    What you could do, it is to assign a different language to the application and assign some strings translate you this language (so although it is English just set it to Dutch and set the language of the app in Dutch). Text for which no translation is made must remain in English (which seems to be the default).

    I don't think that there is nothing wrong with the definition of the application in another language such as Dutch in Danish... not sure, but since I have not tried this for a complete application. Another localization parameters can be defined separately if necessary so I think this should work if necessary for you.
