Transfering Video from Sony Z5E to Adobe Premier Pro 2
 

Ok I been shooting HD video for a while now... well 2 months ish... I finally decided to grab some of the video off the tapes and put them onto the computer (see how they look ect)...

I am shooting with a Sony Z5E... and use Adobe Premier Pro 2 to grab the video... I have played with the settings both on the camera and the premier pro... and not sure if I got it working right :(

One thing that stands out is the "Scene Detect" box which usually allows you to tick it, but it's greyed out :( This means when it does grab the video it does so as one big file... and not the individual scenes :(

Also it comes up with "No Device Control" and whilst it's grabbing the video instead of displaying what it's grabbing it just as a black screen with "Capturing" on it... guess that aint too bad a thing lol

I just grabbed the first hour of video... it was only 10 gig in size which seemed a big small for a whole hour of video... it saved it in MPEG format...

Anything sounds good bad or ugly ??? Help please... :)

i could suggest you to use powerlink it good for downloading your file from you hd cam

Well...
 

At the moment I want to try and stay with Premier... just need to work out why it's not letting me tick the "Detect Scenes" box :(

Dang...
 

no one know what I am doing wrong... maybe Premier Pro 2 (Adobe) just isnt good enough for HD stuff... maybe I need to look at a new version... or maybe Vegas... any one got an opinion ? :helpme

did you try the Adobe Support

Or the community help on the Adobe site?

That's where I would start if you haven't already.

Instead of using Adobe to capture from camera, I use Split HDV.

Its a freeware program that has scene detection and has a small footprint. It makes .m2t files that you can drop into your timelime in Premier.
