Hello I am attempting to download/capture multiple tapes from my canon Elura circa 1999camera. This is a mini DV camcorder, I have about 25 tapes spanning my children’s growing up years. I am attempting this on a dell Alienware R13 PC, running the latest version of Windows 11, using adobe, premiere Pro, the latest version, 2023. I have connected the camera to the PC using a fire wire card, The camera is connected, the PC sees it and premiere Pro sees it. I have created a Project, a folder, name of a folder, everything I’m supposed to do in premiere Pro but I don’t know how to capture. I can play the video and look at the entire tape in premiere, but it doesn’t capture and there is no glaring button anywhere that says capture! I know I’m doing something wrong and I know it’s something very simple but I need some help , also if anyone’s thinking, I’m supposed to hit the red record button, I have, and it doesn’t record it plays but it doesn’t record, because the folder I’ve created in the drive I’ve pointed it to, show nothing so, again it’s probably something very simple that I missing. I would appreciate some feedback , I’d like to use Premier to capture, as inevitably all this footage is going to go through premiere when I cut and edit to make home movies. Please advise.
