Premier Not Capturing

When attempting to capture video all I get is a grey screen and for stills I get a nice little message. Does anyone else get this shit? It has been happening all week, not just once. I have closed the program and reopened it, unplugged the DV, and rebooted the whole farking thing numerous times all to no avail...and I have plenty of RAM. Am I going to have to reinstall?

wait...have you been able to upload before, or are you just trying now? cause if this is the first time then your probably not using the right cord...you need a firewire or i-link cable, not that USB shit they give you in the box.

if you get the gray screen it means it isnt connecting to your capturing device. Make sure the camera is turned on in 'Play' mode before you open the capture window. You might have to tell your computer what kinda video camera you have also.

Yuh that happened to me. If it was the first time you captured try installing the drivers for the camera again. If that doesnt work, then you might just have to install it again :/

Yeah premiere does that randomly on my comp too...I can capture 2 or 3 sets and then it just decides to quit. Usually rebooting clears it up for me but not always. I just use another program to capture now

you could call tech support. but you probably pirated it anyway and this is my philosophy on piracy. If you aren't smart enough to figure it out on your own you should buy it for the manual. you also might need to have your camera pluged in when you load premier, since thats when it loads the capture drivers. The drivers could have been damaged as well.

the magic pixie dust isn't travelling from the camera to the computer, make sure there are no knots in the cable :-)

(try new USB drivers...)

ok but how, is there some firewire adaptor that you plug into it? cause I've been telling people to buy firewire cards, but if they could do it with usb mine as well save them a little money (maybe) and the hastle of opening there box up.

For USB, the camera would come with a cord that plugs into where firewire plugs into, but ends as a USB plug. It is very slow however and takes awhile to capture one movie.

reinstall the dv drivers of the cam and the usb ones... you can always reinstall the program too!

when your trying to import, just make sure your importing from the right place...
