Debut Video Capture Professional Serial Key
Phyllis Sterlin
This morning when I opened Premiere Pro 24 for the first time, I was dismayed at not being able to find the Capture option in the File menu. Upon contacting customer support, I was told that feature had been retired, and I was directed to the following page:
Here's my problem. As a professional media archivist, I used the capture system frequently in the process of digitizing old video tapes (mostly VHS and U-Matic, sometimes DVCPro) for digital access and storage. The article above seems to think tape-based capture is only for transferring tape-to-tape, which is wrong. There are professional archivists and media professionals all over the country, or all over the world, whose job it is to preserve tape-based media via digitization. Adobe has now effectively abandoned an entire industry because it thinks people don't need this feature anymore. Adobe is wrong. As I write this, I have several dozen VHS tapes at my desk waiting to be digitized, and now I have to come up with another software solution because Adobe evidently does not care about customers like me who do this for a living.
Dear Adobe, this was a poorly researched decision, potentially affecting a lot more of your customers than you realize. I am asking for the tape-to-digital capture feature to be restored to the software for video professionals like me who were using it faithfully.
Before removing Capture functionality from 24.0 (in October 2023), we informed users of those removal plans the previous March on Adobe forums, at tradeshows, and all customer events. We definitely consulted with many users; while we did hear from a small-yet-vociferous community of users who wanted to preserve Capture, we determined to proceed.
We can't provided specific numbers, but I can confirm that capture usage has steadily declined for years, getting down into the 'not statistically signif
This may be a "correct" answer but it's the "wrong" answer for those of us who still use tape daily for documentary and archive work. That's how I earn my living!!!! And reinstalling an earlier version to capture won't exactly enhance my work flow rate.... I think this is a terrible decision by Adobe and it needs to be reinstated asap!
I would like to see video capture remain as well.
While text-based editing is one of the greatest things to happen in a significant NLE for documentaries in a long time (but a quick shout out to Lumberjack), losing video capture may be one of the worst. If a documentary filmmaker has archival footage on Digital 8, MicroMV, MiniDV, DVCAM or DVCPro, this poses a real challenge.
If not maintaining an older version or Premiere Pro alongside the current version, FireWire-based tape capture is still supported in Final Cut Pro X ($299) and iMovie (included with macOS-based computers).
If capturing via SDI or other video connectors, BlackMagic Design Media Express is included with BlackMagic Design hardware.
While I do not do as much documentary work as I used to, I keep my 2013 Mac Pro and 2013 13-inch MacBook Pro running for capturing from FireWire-based tape formats via Premiere Pro CS6 or Premiere Pro CC2014.
I've been using Premiere since 1998. Been a paid, professional filmmaker for the last 10. I often wonder whether Adobe employs ANYONE in developing its software who's an actual filmmaker. Just opened the 2024 update today and tape capture is gone. So much for making documentaries using old tape from the 80's and 90's and ingesting it directly into Premiere. I mean, are you OUT of your minds? Many serious film editing jobs involve old or archival footage that is ANALOG. Come on, guys. Bring this back immediately.
I do a lot of on-set editing and need to capture directly from camera to have a fast workflow. I know I can just use PrPro 23 but having to run two seperate systems is anoying and who knows when the MacOs wont launch PrPro 23
I 100% agree. Who and why would they do this? It makes no sense. No I have to roll back to a previous version and keep the new version as well. All the while if Blackmagic Davinci 18 added capture I think I'd be leaving Adobe. It wasn't like I do a ton of DVD but they could have left the app up?? They did for a while and I guess they thought they were being to kind to people? I didn't want updates! So I had to find my old CS6 disks and install only Encore and find the librairies etc. And an old version I had of Quicktime!!
This is absolutely ridiculous and unacceptable. I am a one-man business, and about 75% of my business is converting analog and tape-based digital video to digital and doing various repairs and enhancements. I have been a customer for many years. First Adobe started calling paid software 'not genuine' a number of years ago and official software that I paid hunderds of dollars was no longer useable. Then the forced subscription model which for many of us is not the best choice. Then Encore, which was discontinued, but still offered with the Premier Pro CC subscription, was suddenly taken away. Then there is the workaround stuff for MTS importing without audio. Then a week or so ago, I open up my app to do some captures and - no capture. Just gone. The solution is apparently to install the previous old version 23.6 to capture - because 24.0 - supposedly a professional app - cannot capture video any more. Unacceptable. I keep feeling betrayed by Adobe. Over and over again. Very angry. I will of course be using 23.6, but as I continue to pay my subscription fee, I do not enjoy any of the upgrades. Unless I try to bounce between capturing video with 23.6 and then doing the project in 24.0. Pretty cumbersome workflow for something I do for a living every damn day! Very frustrated. I am going to start looking for alternatives to Premiere Pro. I already ditched Photoshop for Affinity becuase of how expensive it is to subscribe to only a few apps.
Absolutely RIDICULOUS. After I lost my company to the pandemic like so many others, I started a business digitizing analog tapes. Now I can't even do THAT anymore. Wonderful. I guess Adobe is just another virus. Will go find something else I don't have to pay for every month just to put me out of business. DISGUSTING.
No, it doesn't help the firewire and hit "Tape" recording of a DV firewire device. In the past years the firewire was iffy to me also. I used to have a really old Sony piece of software to ingest DV cam stuff. It worked with a few brands actually. The problem is everything inserts another step. If you have an old MacBook pro 2013 with an old Mac OS you can run firewire cams. Or Adobe cam just add back the capture option to make it easier. I don't know. Is it a hard thing to put it back in? Curious.
I've tried 3 versions of Blackmagic Intensity Pro cards and external devices. Media Express when it works is insane. None of the input options make sense. No simple 720 x 480 30fps usually. You have to add it using legacy versions. Well, at least I did.. I use old Canopus firewire modules. Its all I need to do what I want. Even a garbage passthrough works if you capture to Adobe Premiere.
I can't see a reason to remove this part of the software. There must be billions of DV tapes out there that families and professionals alike haven't thought about capturing to a current format. People are still telecining old film for modern viewers, why not just keep DV capture? It's not like Adobe ever rewrote it or updated it.
You have my vote for DV capture to remain in Premiere. I use Windows, so FCP is not an option.
I agree that it is more than annoying when Adobe *removes* a feature from the "upgrade." Fortunately, I still have older versions of Premiere on my systems (yes, systems plural) that can capture through firewire, but it is a pain to have to capture in one program and edit in another. Adobe, stop removing features without asking your users if they'd mind!
I'm also a professionel arhivist, and also making tape-to-fil...for archive and broadcast...and I'm in a middel op a project, where I now have to backroll to a earlier version of Premiere...Adobe have forgot to ask the users, that pay for a professionel product what the user uses before making a BIG change like that!!!!
Adobe has deleted the CAPTURE OPTION.
Sorry to say that, but it is Riiiiiidiculous!
The excuse of a modern and contemporary workflow is an absurd, there are thousands of situations where you need to capture a video signal, so in fact is a downgrade of a fine editing system.
Thanks for that and no need to apologive. I should have figured that they never would nee this... But also thanks fr the idea to post in "Bugs and Ideas". Think they'll actually give a ___ about this issue?
Luke Brewer, 27, made his professional Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) debut May 28 in San Francisco at Kezar Pavilion. The former Bret Harte Bullfrog had been training out of the Team Alpha Male Gym in Sacramento as an amateur and during that time, he built up a record of 4-1.
In the first round, Brewer and Charles started standing up and trading blows. Brewer shot a takedown taking Charles to the canvas. Charles reversed the takedown but Brewer was able to get him in an arm bar. The round ended before Brewer could get the submission.
Going into the second round, Brewer kept his distance from Charles. The two traded blows once again, with both fighters landing solid shots. Charles landed a shot that knocked Brewer down, giving him a black eye. The two spent the rest of the round on the canvas.
When the two came back together, Brewer took Charles down to the canvas but Charles was once again able to reverse it. Brewer was still able to get Charles in an arm bar until time ran out. Charles came out as the winner by unanimous decision.
With NAB 2020 no longer scheduled to take place this month, the next few weeks are bound to bring scores of industry announcements and product debuts to the smaller stage of web-based briefings. Time will tell what the groundbreakers and game-changers will be.
