When capturing in premiere with GeForce Ti4200 board clips are black on the timeline but playable in clip window and scrub play but when rendered show black movie. What's the story?
 
What is your project settings? Is it using the same codec used by your card?
 
I have this same problem. I have a partial solution, by using VirtualDub to capture at 704x576 25fps (PAL), using the m/s mpeg4 V2 codec. Trouble is, I don't know why there was a problem, so don't know why this works. I would rather use Premiere (or Powerdirector which came with the card) - although again I don't know why!

All the help I can find on the internet explains what the codecs are for, what I want is someone to tell me which one to use to create a video from an analogue camcorder to a VHS video - and avoiding a black timeline at the same time, of course.
 
At the risk of repeating what was perfectly good advice...

Post your clip, project, and export settings, as well an explanation of what you think is your various bits of hardware.

If you don't, then the only things I can suggest involve unplugged power cords, macaroni glued onto paper plates, and begging Moses for guidance. [lol]

Cheers,

hi, i have the exact same problem, forgive me for doing this but I am desperate: could you look at my thread:
--------------------
Hey everyone

I have a problem, as many other fine peaple here...

the thing is , I am working with premiere 6.5.

When I work with tutorial files (files that came with my premiere cd) everything works fine....the tutorial files are either in quicktime format or in avi format....

soo I desided to capture some of my own files... from a dv cam... and saved them in the original format (that is , I just captured and saved, in whatever the default format was, but I believe it is uncompressed avi) now when I work with them, I can't apply any transitions or anything , it doesnt work, and when I try to look at the preview window in any of the transitions ánd video effects etc. there is only a black window...if I press alt and drag the timeline, you know when your supposed to preview the video effect or transition that you have applied before rendering the timeline area, nothing happens, just a black window..


please help me, I am standing before a deadline .... I have to finish editing the film that I have filmed before next wednesday.


how can I make my own captured movies, to show in the preview window in any of the transitions etc. and so that I can apply some transitions or effects..... because its not only the preview, when I render the work area, it turnes black when it comes to a cross disolve transition for instance.


could be any codecs that I have to download, or something, I have a few installed , every other file that I worked with that I didnt capture workes great, even the trailers that I download from the internet, even those files could be edited without any problem. but not the files I need, that is the files that I have taken with my own DV cam, and then captured exactly like adobe premiere manual tells me to do.

please help me!!

------------------

A million thanks in advance

with regards /defx
