I'm using Premiere 4.0 for windows and use the Mac version at a local service bureau. Does Premiere 4.0 for Windows have the Time Code Decoder feature for pulling T.C. from burned in Window Dubs? I've read about it in articles reviewing the 4.0 for Mac version? I'm using Premiere 4.0 for windows and use the Mac version at a local service bureau. The only thing in the Premiere for windows manual I can find is the ability to manualy type in the T.C. with the manual calibration feature, called Timecode Offset? Questions: Does the Mac version actually have built in character recognition which automatically deciphers the timecode from the burned in window? And… Does the Windows vers. have this same character recognition to decode the timecode? I'd appreciate any help ASAP since this might be a solution to a T.C. problem with a show we're needing to redigitize and get out the door. Thanx

Premiere does have the ability to OCR timecode displayed on windows dubs. Not having done it myself, I can't tell you how to do it, but it is clearly explained in the user's manual.

Hi Darin, No answers for you.. but questions from a would be Premiere, Windows user. I need help figuring out what to buy. Here are a few questions: Does Premiere work well for you?? Bugs?? What machine are you working with? Do you use a SCSI or IDE hard drive??.. How large?? What sound card have you installed?? What video card havve you installed?? Is your output full screen?? Do you digitize as 60 fields/sec? How much did it cost to get your system all setup?? Any other comments you can think of would be appreciated Thanks for any help you can send my way.. I very much appreciate it Tom, in Austin, TX
