I understand that Premiere Elements 2020 does *not* support firewire interface any longer.
I had wanted to use my old Sony HDR-HC5 (1080i) as a live camera to capture to Elements. (I used to be able to do this with Elements 7)
I wanted to avoid using USB/Webcams because of the audio/video out of sync issues caused by Variable Frame Rate issues that those cameras can create.
I understand that Elements 2020 can "fix" the VFR problems ... but ..
Can anyone recommend a camera to be used with Elements for a live capture?
(I suppose it *has* to be USB interface .. )
Thanks! 🙂

I've never known Premiere Elements as capable of streaming live video (aside from recording from webcam).
Which version has this capability?

Version 7 will do it. I was just checking my video camera with Version 7 this AM and .. yep .. it still works. Version 14 is a "no" as well as "2020".

I've got a feeling it was a feature that didn't survive the program's transition to 64-bit.

Yeah .. Frustrating .. The Sony HC5 is a nice camera renderd rahter useless now ...
I'll likely get some sort of USB camera and use Handbrake to cure the variable frame rate issues ..
I simply dislike buying more stuff all the time 😞
