I am about to embark upon using Adobe Premier for an off-line rough cut of a seven minute industrial video. I will cut the program with visual time coded images to I can at least note the time codes when the project is completed. I am interested in finding out if anyone else has done this and what their comments are. I realize Adobe Premier can't do what an Avid can do, but I am willing to make the investment if it can at least do a non linear rough cut. Any comments PLEASE. Regards Avery Russell

Avery: I have done many off-line edits with Premiere 1.1 using window code. If you have ever done a linear based edit using window code you will find the process is basically the same – do the edit and write down the numbers. It's also a good idea to talk to your on-line house and even show them examples of what you will be bringing in, they may have some useful suggestions. What version of Premiere do you have? Version 4.0 uses time code. Arnie – Arnold Jones, Written 13-Feb-1995 @ 07:47:04 Using: Windows NavCIS PRO 1.2

Does anyone know if the Miro DC1 can capture the time code if it is not visually displayed? Thanks in advance. -Marco

Hi Marc, I just bought DC1tv, Premiere, to run on a Pentium 90. I finally found a way to get time code in. There's a module for Premiere made by DiaQuest called "DQ Time Coder" it is primarily software that ennables all Premiere's batch capture functions + waveform & vectorscope. It inputs timecode via a RS 422 cable connection to your deck. If you are working with "prosumer" gear that uses a control "L" connector Miro makes a "video mouse" but its not on the market yet. Their tech wasn't too knowledgeable on it. Hope that's some help. I won't know for 2 weeks whether the DQ time coder unit really lives up to it PR. Tom
