For Decades .... I had Capture in Adobe Premier.   I get the impression Adobe wants me to spend more money on services that used to be beneficial to people.   This is sad.

Thanks for the info! Are you aware of any DV/HDV capture tools that work with Mac?

Yes, the capture feature is removed: Tape-based workflows retired in Premiere Pro

 

Are you capturing tapes such as DV or HDV? You can use a third party tool for that, see link below:

 

For DV: ScenalyzerLive Page

For HDV: HDVSplit 0.77 beta Free Download - VideoHelp

I very rarely use legacy media capture and I just use an inexpensive USB with a chip for composite VHS, Any general capture utility. So in and of itself not a great loss. But it did occur to me; beside statistical usage decline was the capture functionality interfering with coding the advancing versions, requiring a lot of attention or some other practical reason. If not a code detriment was it only statistics that informed the decision?

 

Just philosiphizing as to the corporate asthetic.
