I have the DV Raptor video card by Canapus. I use two cameras to shoot, a small miniDV cam, and the older Panasonic Ag-EZ1 3CCD miniDV job. Since the Panasonic doesn’t have DV out, I put the cassettes shot on it into the new cam, and transfer the files to my computer using the new cam’s firewire. After I get the clips on my hard drive using the DV raptor, they play well in windows media player. Small horizontal lines appear in the player, but are not actually on the video. I know this because if I play them back using the DV raptor software, the video is crisp.
Anyways, to make a long story short, when I import the videos into premiere, the clips that were recorded on the new camera look great, but the clips recorded on the Panasonic get large shifts in horizontal lines. Each shifted horizontal block is at least 10 pixels tall, and shifted horizontally much more than 10 pixels. The final video looks awful, but it is only the video shot with the Panasonic. A distant mailbox post for example, ended up looking more like a checkerboard than a post. I find it strange that the shifted artifacts are not in the raw video; and only appear when I import into adobe. I'm a newbie to this form, and would like some help.
Thanks guys.
