R U using ONLY your internal, OS and programs hard drive to capture to? Is it slower than 7200 rpm? Do you have an external, Firewire, 7200 rpm HD you could utilize. Even though your laptop might be powerful enough for basic editing, your hard drive might be the choking point. There are other issues and I'm not at all familiar with your computer but it would seem that trying to use the same hard drive, especially with Premiere 5.5 still might be asking too much of the system in trying to ingest.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/sticky-jerky-video-capture-in-premiere-55#post-74658 Sat, 11 Feb 2012 00:55:34 +0000 Ciroco 74658@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Hi to the folks out there,</p> <p>I've recently bought a HP Pro book 6560b primarily as it still has a<br /> firewire port so I can still transfer video from my Legria HV40. I have<br /> installed Premiere 5.5. but when I try to capture the video I get jerky<br /> pictures with a frame or so 'sticking'. This seems to happen in<br /> conjunction with a sound like a burrrp/buzz. This noise is very evident<br /> when playing a Youtube video and am wondering whether it's interfering<br /> with something else/program I'm not aware of?</p> <p>I have changed the firewire driver to the 'OHCI compliant host<br /> controller (Legacy) as suggested on another site, rolled back the audio<br /> driver 'IDT high definition codec' to a previous version all to no<br /> avail.</p> <p>I've used HDVsplit to transfer the video and it still happens though not<br /> as badly as with Premiere, which makes me think it's something else on<br /> the laptop?</p> <p>I'm sure it's NOT my camera as I can capture video to my desktop that<br /> runs XP. In anticipation of the next question "why don't I capture using<br /> my desktop PC and then transfer the footage to my laptop?" Answer -<br /> It's at home and I work abroad hence I have the laptop to save space.</p> <p>The video runs smooth as silk via the camera viewfinder. Any ideas, suggestions, solutions will be most gratefully received. </p> <p>I'm running windows 7 professional, 64bit with SP1 on a HP Probook<br /> 6560b, Intel (R) Core TM i5 2410M <a href="mailto:CPU@2.30GHz">CPU@2.30GHz</a> 2.3GHz with 4gigs of RAM.</p> <p>Thanks in anticipation</p> <p>&lt;span class="hl0"&gt;Ciro&lt;/span&gt;</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/need-help-with-my-sony-hdr-fx7-connectivity-problem#post-72997 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 15:00:41 +0000 SargeHero 72997@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Your right Leandro, is more convenient to buy a Blackmagic Intensity. The extra computer will be exclusively for capturing the footage, in your studio or home. In my case I have an old Pentium 4 Windows desktop computer just for capturing footage or for any Windows program (I'm a Mac user). I got it for free from a family member and use it on several occasions. I suggest to first look around if you can find an old computer with firewire for free or really cheap (from friends or family), if not you should get Blackmagic's Intensity. Everything in the video world is expensive, you need to consider the "guerrilla" solutions before investing your money. If it works, why not use it? </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/need-help-with-my-sony-hdr-fx7-connectivity-problem#post-72996 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 13:57:40 +0000 Leandro Kafka 72996@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Thanks for the ideas and all the help guys.<br />But I don't get it. how can the old used pc laptop with a firewire port is a good investment?<br />I mean, why spend money to buy an extra laptop in the first place? <br />I find it way cheaper and more convenient just to pay for the Blackmagic.<br />plus it's easier to just carry one laptop and this small adaptor, instead of two laptops.<br />Just my opinion, if there is another reason that I didn't get please feel free to tell me.</p> <p>Thanks for all your help, I really appreciate it</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/need-help-with-my-sony-hdr-fx7-connectivity-problem#post-72988 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 11:07:41 +0000 Kenkyusha 72988@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Glad to be helpful (though keep in mind that the HDMI on your laptop is out only... it'd be great if there were an HDMI in option!).&nbsp; I third an older machine for capture, even an older, inexpensive duo or quad core would do the trick.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/need-help-with-my-sony-hdr-fx7-connectivity-problem#post-72986 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 11:00:29 +0000 SargeHero 72986@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Blackmagic Intensity will work for what you want and for many other things in the future, so is a good investment.
