I started editing using final cut pro 7 and i'm making the transition into the adobe video world. Premier is very simlar to final cut, but I think premier is much better as long as you can find your self around.
I chose to capture vhs tapes through a fw 400 to a 800 into my mac with premier instead of final cut. The reason for this is, i noticed that premier had a much better proc amp luma to it then fial cut did. Meaning the capture window in final cut 7 was much darker then in premier pro cs6.
The Final cut capture window is on the left and the premier capture window is on the right.
Now this is a very good thing and this is why i chose to capture in premier instead. Does premier have capture presets like final cut does? I'm captureing vhs tapes that are 2 hours long and average to about 30/35 gigs a pop cuase their .movs. Is there anyway to capture as a mpg2 and call it a day? Thank you.
