>>The text editing is a little crude ( not very well integrated) but useful.
Dominique: If the camcorder you shot the video with doesn't record timecode, you can either copy the material onto a deck that does have timecode, or use a deck that can add timecode to the tape without erasing the video. The plugin I refer to is a device control plugin…
Dominique: Premiere can create EDLs from any source material, HI-8 or otherwise. The only restriction is that the original material must contain some sort of timecode that an editing service provider will be able to read with his equipment when using the EDL and your tapes, and that can be…
AVI output to Videotape
Message #2109
Marc: Do the following: 1. create or capture a video compressed with Miro's MJPEG codec 2. Open it in Media Player 3. Open the icon labeled Miro Video that will appear on your desktop. 4. Make sure the 'Print to Video' checkbox is ON. 5. Play video. If nothing at…
Arnold: I'll upload the Miro stuff in an email. Nick
John: Yes, that's exactly what I would do. I want to be able to capture video to the PC, and sync it with an external audio recording device using some type of timecode. My existing audio equipment uses SMPTE time code, which is synced by a card in the PC.…
Arnold: OK, I see the problem – Premiere 1.1 will recompress EVERYTHING if you set a data rate in your output options; just turn off the data rate, and Premiere will only recompress the changed material – this will substantially fix the degradation problems you're seeing. In the end the…
One more silly suggestion: When I go to videotape with a DC1, the computer and NTSC monitors 'beat' on each other, causing an interference pattern that is transfered to tape. I solve it by turning off the computer monitor when recording. Nick
Marc: The DC1 already has what you need to go to tape; just open the video you want to play to tape, and open the Miro icon at the bottom of the screen (easy to miss, I know), and choose 'print to video'. All your MJPEG movies will no be…
Arnold: Make sure you have the DC1 1.13 driver or later, and also try dropping the data rate of the video slightly – you may be capturing just at the limits of your system's throughput. Nick
John: >>Also, what does Adobe 4.0 do with its SMPTE time code? I wonder if you could sync it to an external audio recording deck?
Roger: >> 1. Picture quality. What I was shown were low quality VHS but they had used a rental video as input and they usually are in a very bad quality from the beginning, they couldn't show me anything where they had used an input from a camara in any…
John: No problem (and I hope I didn't void any netiquette posting as a message, but I wasn't sure who to ask at the time). I'll upload it to the Editors section right now. Nick

FLI/FLC formats
Message #49487
What format is used to store sound in FLI/FLC files? I've noticed that when you open a FLI/FLC in VidEdit, it briefly says, "scanning for audio." I've never heard of audio in one of these files. What program would put it there, and what format is it stored in. I'm…
