To use automatic scene detection
Instead of manually logging In and Out points, you can use the Scene Detect feature. Scene Detect analyzes the video
for scene breaks as indicated by the tape's Time/Date stamp, such as those caused when you press the camera’s pause
button while recording. When Scene Detect is on and you perform a capture, Adobe Premiere Pro automatically
captures a separate file at each scene break it detects. Scene Detect works whether you are capturing an entire tape
or just a section between specific In and Out points. If you turn on Scene Detect and capture using In and Out points,
Scene Detect may break up clips between the defined In and Out points if a scene break is detected.
Scene Detect logs scenes for batch capturing without altering the tape’s progress. It also logs scenes that occur across
timecode breaks.

Select Scene Detect in the Capture area of the Logging pane.
Common capture issues
If you run into problems while capturing digital footage, refer to Adobe Premiere Pro Help or the documentation for
your camera, deck, or capture card. You can also check the Adobe website for technical support. The following are
common issues that may arise when you capture digital video:
•
If your device (camera or deck) goes into sleep mode, close and then reopen the Capture panel; or close the
Capture panel, turn the device off and back on, and then reopen the Capture panel. You can disable sleep mode
on many cameras by connecting them to AC power and ejecting the tape.
•
If video looks grainy in the Capture panel or Monitor panel, Adobe Premiere Pro may have decreased display
quality to preserve capture quality. Video is captured and stored at the quality you determine and always plays at
that quality on an NTSC or PAL monitor. On slower systems, Adobe Premiere Pro may lower the quality of the
capture preview in order to ensure that sufficient CPU resources are available for full-quality capture.
•
If the video image does not appear in the Capture panel, verify your device control and capture settings. Then,
leaving the device on, restart Adobe Premiere Pro.
•
If captured audio and video are not in sync, make sure that sections of tape weren’t skipped (left unrecorded)
between shots. Blank tape areas lack timecode, which may cause interruptions in the camera time mode. When
you capture the blank area, the camera doesn’t transmit valid frames, but time continues to be marked.
•
If no audio is recording, try playing a source through the computer’s sound input and speaker system without
recording. If you can’t hear it, the audio source may not be connected properly or audio parameters may not be
set properly. Check hardware connections, Sounds And Audio Devices in the Windows Control Panel, and mixer
settings, and refer to the documentation for your sound card. In Adobe Premiere Pro, select Edit > Preferences,
and check the settings for Audio, Audio Hardware, and Audio Output Mapping.
