To the whole community, respect.

It is necessary to clarify what this setting in Premiere is responsible for in the screenshot below, with regard to various camera sources. This function is directly related to which camera source the frames were received from and, if the camera is selected appropriately, does this give an advantage in working on the timeline? What is it for? Can this affect the quality with the material from the source?

Hi @Baffy19 ,

 

This is for analog capture from DV tape as stated by @Ann Bens and @R Neil Haugen.

 

So, unless you're working in these older formats, there's no benefit in a digital capture workflow.

 

Hope this helps.  https://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/using/capturing-dv-or-hdv-video.html

Note that Ann was talking about tape capture ... to be clear, if you're working with video media from your computer's drives, you don't work with that panel. You simply add the media via the import process in the Media Browser or Project panels.

Neil, so can remove her from Premiere. I don't think anyone uses this feature. A cleaner product is the key to stability )

Here is the answer to your question really? Tell me, what is the percentage of people using this feature from all Premiere users? The Premiere app is outdated. Are you continuing to argue now or explain? This damn program is overgrown with mud and look how much it weighs today. This is only one program. If we compare it with DaVinci, then heaven and earth, although three Adobe products are sealed there at once. I am in favor of making the product lighter and more stable from here.


This is one of those discussions that gets bizarre. Especially when someone who complains about the need for 3rd party plugins starts advocating dumping 'current' operations of the app ... suggesting this use should require 3rd part apps be developed to help the users out.

 

I've got plenty on my list of things I want changed to talk about with the devs in Vegas at NAB... this ain't gonna make the list. Not hardly.

Its a list of tape camera brands (some brands I have never heard off though).

The PAL list makes more sence to me.

Dont think it has anything to do with quality rather with the transport controls when capturing DV or HDV.

You will find the same dropdown menu in the Capture window.
