To set capture preferences
1
Choose Edit > Preferences > Capture.
2
Specify whether you want to cancel capture on dropped frames, report dropped frames, or generate a batch log
file.
3
Select whether to use device control timecode. If a device controller is in use (for example, for RS-422/232 or
LANC-controlled devices), the last selection enables Adobe Premiere Pro to record the timecode supplied by the
controller instead of attempting to record any timecode that might be written to the source tape.
File size limits
Adobe Premiere Pro does not limit the size of files. However, your capture card, operating system, or hard disk may
set such a limit. Check your capture card and hard disk documentation for information on support of large files.
The format of your hard disk greatly affects its ability to handle large files. FAT32 formatting limits each file to 4 GB,
or about 18 minutes of DV footage. NTFS formatting doesn’t limit file size, although files are still subject to limita-
tions that may be imposed by other components of your video-editing system. This is why it is best to use
NTFS-formatted disks as the scratch disks where you capture video and for the target drives where you export video
files.
