Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 | Go to CS4 Help

Prepare for digital video capture

After connecting the device to your computer using an IEEE 1394 or SDI connection, turn the device on, and do one of the following:
- If it’s a camera, set it to the playback mode, which may be labeled VTR or VCR.
- If it’s a deck, make sure that its output is set properly.
  
  Note: Don’t set a camera to any of the recording modes, which may be labeled Camera or Movie.
Start Adobe Premiere Pro. When the Welcome screen appears, do one of the following:
- Click New Project, select the desired preset from the Load Preset panel, and click OK.
- Select an existing project. The project must use a preset that matches the video and audio settings of the footage you’re going to capture.
Choose Edit > Preferences > Scratch Disks (Windows) or Premiere Pro > Preferences > Scratch Disks (Mac OS), and specify the locations for Captured Video and Captured Audio.
Note: Adobe Premiere Pro supports high bit‑depth (greater than 8‑bit) video necessary for editing standard and high definition footage.

HOW DO I IMPORT VIDEO TO MY YP-K3

Check the user guide for your device to find the video formats it supports. Then, see the relevant exporting topic in Adobe Premiere Pro Help at http://livedocs.adobe.com/en_US/PremierePro/3.0/WSF4483B17-B8C6-483e-83E0-07C12AF6DCA6.html.

We are looking to buy a hard disc drive camera, the long recording time is a feature we want, but I am concerned about being able to import the video into my editing software. Is it possible to do this with Premier? What extrat hard/software would I need?

Thanks.

Make sure, before purchasing a camcorder, that the file format it shoots is supported by Adobe Premiere Pro: http://livedocs.adobe.com/en_US/PremierePro/3.0/WSCE104033-D011-4699-84E2-72DE29332157.html
