>Why is this done?

Because usage has plummeted, and supporting and maintaining tape capture-related code hinders the team from focusing on future-facing and more frequently-used features.

Hi,

For us it would require keeping around an old version of Premiere as we have a massive archive of DVcam tapes (NHS Hospital department) and often have to capture from these and miniDV from patient records as not every department has upgraded to modern equipment.... dissapointing if this is the case. can still capture via Quicktime but not as seamless as in the editor (device control etc)
