Catalina (Mac OS) has nullified the DV capture setting for Premiere Pro. Editors need this feature desperately. Please bring it back. I have lots of old tapes I need to capture. Am I supposed use iMovie?We pay for these features. Please add them back.
I have moved to the Blackmagic capture program on the PC but guess as it is a pro company there is a Mac version. (and it's free) Capture still works on my PC but not always reliable. (latest Adobe version and I capture via the Blackmagic card)
Adobe suggests; "On macOS you can use Premiere Pro 12.x and 13.x on macOS 10.13.6 (High Sierra) or 10.14 (Mojave)". Which would be helpful if they provided users ACCESS TO PREVIOUS VERSIONS!!!
I know this is an old option. But as a documentary film maker. I come across a lot of old footage on DV tape thats needs to be imported as I have read many others need. When Apple decided to drop USB & SD card readers on their laptops in 2016 it was a huge mistake. Now in 2021 they are bringing it back to the new IMac. The DV import option is still needed and will be for some time to come. Final Cut & I Movie still has it. Why not Adobe?
I have a catalogue of home movies captured on Mini DV tapes. I was able to use Premiere version 13 to capture the footage and import for editing. The latest Premiere version only allows HDV capture via camcorder tape. I note a workaround is to use quicktime and then import but this is very clumsy or use a third party software e.g. LifeFlix....I have an old mac and was seeking to download version 13 of premiere but note these links are not available.
