Hi all,
This one is new to me, hopefully not to you. I recently tried importing video from my digital Sony camcorder using a Sony Digital 8 tape. The imported video/audio was very shaky, virtually unusable. I tried another tape (same format) and same problem. Upon switching to a Memorex Hi8 tape, everything imported fine. I even exported the D8 tapes to VCR, then back to Hi8 and the video that formerly was shaky imported just fine.
My system specs are Athlon 900 MHz running Win98SE and Premiere 6.5. I import using a 1394 firewire cable. Project settings are standard 720x480 at 32 kHz (working off memory here, it's a default selection under the NTSC menu). I have imported dozens of tapes before, and this is the first time I've encountered such a problem. My camcorder records in D8/Hi8 depending on the tape format.
Playback on the camcorder is fine, I thought perhaps both D8 tapes were bad, but that doesn't seem to be it. The problem seems centered on my tape import.
Any suggestions? Thanks.
