    Capture crashes.

    bootsuk Community Member

      I have just started using Prem CS5 on a newly built system which seems stable in all respects. But Capturing using Premiere CS5 and a Black Magic card. (intensity Pro)  Not sure if the Black Magic Card is relevant as got freeze importing DV which does not use the B/Magic card.

       

      Capturing using the B/M card is worse though crashes after 1-2 secs up to about 12 minutes but the DV took about 50 min to stop.  Error for DV was "DV lost connection to device".

       

      Capturing via the B/M card using component sourced from a DVD player (not copyright material) will either totally crash the PC or at best the capture will just freeze.

       

      New systen build.

      EVGA M/B FTW3 X58, 24 gig ram,

      1 TB capture drive Raid,

      Gigabyte NVidea GTX 470 Graphics card with 1280MB.

       

      Not much else installed on machine to conflict.

          You can only capture from tape based cameras. So what do you mean?

            Ah  Not quite sure what you mean.  I'm just capturing a component signal in this case output from a DVD player.

              Very much so.  I'd look to them for help with this one.

                I've heard LOTS of issues with B/M cards with Premiere, especially with capturing and ingesting footage from tape based systems.

                 

                I've never heard of issues with capturing footage, but I know you can't write footage out to tape if your MPE is turned on. Try turning the Hardware acceleration off (set to software only) and then see if it works. If it causes problems with footage going out, it may give problems with footage coming in, too. Once your footage is in, you can turn it back on.

                  Thanks for all your advice very much appreciated.

                   

                  I have not had much time to test today but late last night I found what could be a problem with the raid array I'm using as the capture drive.

                   

                  I hope that could be the cause, tried a few captures today and so far so good but they were only of short duration.

                   

                  Many thanks again to all who replied.
