David Clarke runs training course on Adobe Premiere Pro, Grass Valley EDIUS, DaVinci Resolve and Avid Media Composer. On this channel you will see various training videos on these an other effects programs.
Thanks for the detail in your video. How do you remove the time code window , I noticed it is in your capture as well. I haven't figured out how to eliminate it. Thansk again for video.
The video I was caturing only has timecode on it because the camera was set to output all the on-camera screen info - including "SP", 16 bit and the timecode to the video output If I had turned that off on the camera then it would not be there on the recording.
Hi David, love the videos and this one is pretty timely, I am retired now and i have a cupboard full of VHS and SVHS and im trying to get them into my computer, its all wired correctly and it does capture OK but Edius 6.5 and 8 always stops the capture at a static break in the film ( where the film has been watched back on the camera and not rewound back far enough to have a clean start), I've unchecked every box that deals with breaking the capture but nothing seems to stop it. All i want to do is pop in a 3 or 4hr tape and walk away, but instead i have to rewind the tape in the deck or camera to find out where it stopped and start the process again, is there anything you can suggest that doesn't break the bank, thanks mate ,cheers Norm
I don't think there is much you can do. If the signal drops out completely - as it does at a tape brake - it will stop capturing. If you have unticked everything in EDIUS you could try using media Express instead which I go through in my next video, due soon, which may work differently.
@@hootsmin9818 There is a tick box to carry on capturing even when frames drop with Media Express although I do think that it is more likely the Blackmagic sending a message to the computer that there is not signal so stop capturing which is likely to happen whatever the capture program but it is worth trying Media Express anyway. I will put the video up later today.
I recently purchased edius 11 pro. I am facing some issue whenever I move video file from bin to timeline it's not getting marked in the bin. Is there any setting or some way out kindly let me know . Anticipating your response
If you mean the green dot this should be working in the latest versions and there is a column for timeline reference in the bin. Make sure you are on the latest EDIUS 11.
@@dvcltd thanks sir for the Information i am on 11.00 version this problem is being faced by many coworkers of mine kindly make a tutorial video if possible. Regards Ns photography.
Great video but I've bought three canon HV40's most sellers state full working order but know nothing of firewire. When questioned they think just playing the tape is working order. So I've three useless camcorders it seems at a cost of £500. its hard to know if the firewire ports are fried. Its hard to test this for sure. But most second hand cams are 2/3rd user and passed on with bad firewire ports . When you say deck do you mean camcorders or the old expensive Sony specific large tape deck devices that captured tapes only. I've been trying to get one of those. I'm wondering if I should now but a Sony HDV cam. But I've read best to stick with same device tape was shot on. Scott Shramms several videos on you tube seems to confirm win11 /12th gen CPUs intel killed firewire capture. I try and get so fed up leave it again for months before trying again. So many conflicting info out there ive followed. ie TI chipset or via chipset capture cards , 12th gen cpu and above no good architecture changes killing firewire, Apple thunderbolt 3 to usb c adapters £50 the list is long.
As I say in the video the Apple Thunderbolt does not work any more on new chipsets but I have not had any problems. However, all my decks/cameras are Sony - an HDV deck and two sony DV domestic cameras. I have a Panasonic VHS/DV deck combo which also works. I had a customer with a camera we could not get working and some responses here seem to say that some canons do not work. I always use TI chipsets.
not working well. Import option in BIN cannot differentiate between project sequences and video data file. Rest again crashing of bin during initialising when new project created....
hi so I have a fairly new laptop with windows 11 do I need appropriate hardware to capture dv videos from my Sony camcorder? also I have usb type C thunderbolt ports if these are any good to use?
In my video I do talk about being able to capture using an external Thunderbolt box which houses a FireWire card. This is the only option you would have but is expensive. It also may not work on your system and some laptops have USB C ports but they do not do Thunderbolt. From some comments I have had below you may also see that soem types of cameras don't work using the programs I have mentioned - although all the Sony cameras I have used do work. If you want to try the Thunderbolt route get the parts from somewhere that you can send then back to if they don't work - I can do this through Amazon. The alternative is get a USB device that lets you capture through SVIDEO or composite and accept a slight quality loss.
@dvcltd hi many thanks for your reply, yes the usb-C port on the laptop is thunderbolt there are 2 of them, do you have a link I could use to purchase the firewire box from amazon? A few other comments have told me I don't need a firewire card if the laptop has thunderbolt, but I have my doubts as I've been trying it all different ways and cables, any help much appreciated!
@@davelympany1724 Its not a firewire box but a Thunderbolt box with a FireWire card in. This is the one I used: www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B083V3DKCN/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and this is the firewire card: www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B08339PGM8/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1. Plus you would need a Thunderbolt cable. There may be some other option that works that I don;t know of, and, of course, I can't promise this will work for you.
Plus you can't just plug a FireWire cable into a Thunderbolt port. Apple did a FireWire to Thunderbolt converter but that is the one thing that does not work for me on new computers.
@dvcltd hymm ok, I do have a zoomstrom desk top tower but running windows 10, it's not got a firewire card I wouldn't have a clue how to install one lol
totly waste of money in edius all - no timeline nest - no color management in open edius window - no shut down option after exporting - no effects control in edius window - and jv job monitor export failed - whats do company with there custumers etc.
You should have used the trial version before buying to see if it suited you. You can nest timelines - I do it all the time. You can also manage colour and have control panels for the effects - but it rather sounds like you would prefer them to work like Premiere or Resolve. I am happy with the way they work in EDIUS myself.
You can add X.264 to EDIUS by buying a plug-in from TMPEG. However, it is probably easier just to make a GV AVI file and use handbrake. I have both the plug-in and handbrake and to be honest use Handbrake most of the time. The reactor plug-ins are obviously specific to Resolve.
I normally don't leave links from other but at least this leads to someone's idea of consolidating stuff with EDIUS rather than a random advert. I have not tried it myself.
As I mentioned I have not hammered consolidate as this is pretty recent so I cannot be sure. However, I think EDIUS 11 can still have problems opening projects made in EDIUS X so it may not be a solution for you.
I lost my ability to use firewire since Windows 10. I have a firewire card, but no drivers for Win 10/11. What firewire card are you using? Make and model...?
The card should have drivers installed automatically. How is it showing up inside device manager? I am using a startech Texas intruments card model : PEX1394A2V2
@@hurleymediatv Did you see in the comments below that since I made the video I may have found problems with different makes of camera - I use Sony and they always work but a Canon may not work any more. I personally do not have any to test.
@@dvcltd No, I didn't see that. Thank you! I'm using a Canon Elura 100. I lost the ability to use this after upgrading from Win 7 to Win 10. I have Linux OS installed on that old computer now, so I can transfer DV using that. I just wanted to see if I could get it to work on a modern Windows computer. I'm going to buy the same FW card that you're using, just to see if that works. Cheers!
I can't seem to get past the 'opening source clip' stage. I get a 'App not found' error message on every app yet I have ffmpeg installed but it won't leyt me edit the path!
Using the latest version of Staxrip it coms with things like FFMPEG included so I don't have to fiddle with this any more. What codec of clip are you trying to open? And I assume you mean you have issues with Staxrip.
Thank you so very much. I have spent many, many hours trying to find how to get DV movies into my computer. Finally! They are really precious movies for me and I am so, so happy. Thanks. Winsows 11, WinDV and Sony Mini DV DCR-PC105E. Edit: What I recorded was divided into short sections of a couple of minutes at most. The solution to that is to go into Config and set Discontinuity threshold to 0 and Max AVI size to 1000000. Then it records longer episodes, at least 20 minutes.
Your title is misleading. A bluray and a disc image are not the same thing. That does not work. When you have a bluray player/drive, you put your disc in, open vlc, click play, even the way you say, and..........nothing. There is a step or software or codecs you have not mentioned. I searched, and even VLC say you need more to do it. Yes, VLC will play a disc image, or what is called an ISO file, but a disc image is not the same a a bluray actual disc. Go ahead and try the same thing with an actual disc and prove me wrong.
I have tried all the AI colourising programs I know about - if you want to see how to do this with Photoshop one still at a time there is a video on my channel as well. None of them are prefect and you get a better job by painting one frame at a time - but that requires skill and is VERY time-consuming. For me AVC did the best job and you could tweak the results as well.
If you mean you are getting a message saying you need AVX2 to be able to install EDIUS 11 I am afraid the only solution is to upgrade the computer to a system that has the AVX2 instruction set in the processor - which is pretty much any modern processor. The have all had AVX2 for several years.
Today for the first time I had a problem capturing Dv on a 14900KS system with Windows 11 and WinDV. I was using a JVC deck for the first time in ages and WinDV would not capture saying there was an error - "Can't find DV output plugin". When I switched to using a Sony deck it worked. A customer reported something similar using a Canon DV Deck. My working decks and cameras are Sony so maybe there is an issue with other makes? Let me know if you cannot make WinDV work and what deck you have. I suggested to my customer that he used Scenalyzer which I mention in the video and that worked for him. I know I could capture with my JVC deck on a 14900K system using EDIUS 9.
Do you have any other way to capture DV and HDV without a firewire card and cable? My laptop obviously supports no such thing anymore so I'm hoping you have some magical answer.
I am afriad not. There are some USB-firewire devices but I have not used these for ages and when I did they were unreliable. If you have a really old desktop PC stick a FireWire card in that and copy the files over to the laptop. The only laptop option that did I work I mention in the video which is an external box which takes PCI cards and connects to the laptop by Thunderbolt. Of course, the laptop has to have Thunderbolt for this to work. It is also costly - the box is £300ish and the FireWire card £30. The other option is to accept some quality loss and use a composite/svideo USB capture device.
Great easy to follow video. For months I've been trying to capture HI-8-DV.HDV camcorder footage. There is conflicting info in that my win 11 with 12th gen CPU PC does not work with HDV SPLIT and WINDV or any other program. It appears its not the version of windows but rather the 12th gen and above cpu's due to intel fully killing backwards compatibility starting with 12th gen processors.Many reports also about this, Other issues I'm told I have a TI chipset firewire card. ? should be a VIA legacy chipset. But that wont work with windows 11. So I am interested in the exact configuration of the PC, cpu generation and what firewire card etc I can not even load my old pinnacle editing software on win 11. With the Date and time format on HDV split I found that confusing in its layout and with no instructions to be found your video was very helpful - pity one cant just type the date in. I used to capture the full AVI files and edit later. My win 11 pro pc came with 14tb hard drives but is effectively useless currently.With the codecs is it not better to download K.Lite basic and select advanced making sure right check boxes are ticked. I've even bought apple thunderbolt 3 adaptors to USB C-about to buy a thunderbolt card compatible with my motherboard and or looking for a laptop /pc with 8th gen CPU with firewire port. But your video has made me think again. Any help greatly appreciated as I'm throwing money away.. I've done the DV/HDV on imaging devices on split with the cam I've even bought 2 old canon HDV 40 camcorders as suspecting the firewire ports are fried. changed firewire cables. When you refer to decks ? meaning camcorders or the expensive Sony standalone devices I've never used. So I'm at a brick wall even travelling 300 miles to get a win XP PC with a matrox rt.x2 firewire card. Does not work. have to get a dvi monitor for that also. Many thanks
I mention inthe video that I had seen reports of FireWire abd TI chipsets not working with 12th gen and above chipsets. All I can say is that for me it does. In the video I am using a 14th gen processor and Windows 11 but I have set up systems using 12th and 13th and captured using FireWire. I also use TI chipset cards. What does not work for me is a Thunderbolt-FireWire adaptor - it has to be a PCIe card in a desktop computer. You also say that you travelled miles to get an old system with RT.X2 and that does not work. Honestly sounds more like your camera/deck firewire out is not working - an old system should work even if 12th gen and above processors do have problems on some systems which I don't get.
I have mine working on windows 11 pc, I have a fire wire card I bought off Amazon in 2020 too. There is lots of info out there on win dv. Did you get yours to work? I'm happy to help
Hi, first I have to say thanks so much, I have had AVClab for over a year and with your video I am doing better now. My problem is coloring black and white video. My problem is coloring changes almost every frame, it gets heacyer or lighter and... almost each fram . Do you have any advice there? I did change the render factor and playes with soft or not,,, still so much color changing every frame. If you have any advice... Thanks again.
Sorry, only just seen this. All the AI colourises i have tried are not that consistent over frames unfortunately. AVC does the best job of the ones I have tried IMO. I generally take the video into Resolve Studio and apply a flicker fixer - only in the studio version - and it makes the changes less noticable. The other option is Neat Video (both things you have to buy and use in an editing program). This makes it a bit better I also find its a bit too yellow so tweak the colour slightly. However, no AI currently does as good a job as colouring each frame yourself. Hopefully they will get better.
It's CTRL + enter to split text in vistitle while keeping the timecode intact. I use Subtitle edit to create audio to text files, it's more accurate then Accoustica and it's free, it also automatically splits to 2 lines.
We have 4x Edit suites with Edius X but unfortunately with this version we are abandoning it after nearly 7 years and going to resolve. It was good but now its being left behind. No support and really only yourself with decent how to videos. Thanks for the videos over the years. We used it for broadcast documentaries.
I use Resolve as well and it does have lots of nice stuff but I still find the most basic editing generally requires a lot more clicks to achieve the same things, which is time consuming.
I do get quite a few errors loading MXF files into Premiere although mostly these are "unable to losf s frame" and premiere works round it. If the clip does not load at all it may be corrupt. Alternatively, if you are loading it into CS6, it may be a format CS6 does not support.
Myself and a few others have requested the ability to swap a project between 50p and 25p. XML Export EDIUS 11.Updates. This would be handy so then you can render out at either frame rate. Other programs allow you to do this. Thanks from a 13 year Edius user.
