Techie Help plse - Adobe Premiere Pro

[Rock Charogne]

I know how good everyone is at helping with techie probs!!

I am trialling Adobe Premiere Pro 1.5 (comes on 30 day from the Adobe site). But cannot for the life of me get the programme to recognise either of my DV cams - I use Canon XM2 and Panasonic NVGS70

Facts are:

1. My PC meets the Adobe spec - inc an OHCI compliant firewire connection

2. My PC recognises both camcorders as soon as they are connected

3. Pinnacle, the other prog I use, happily recognises and captures from both

4. Premiere Pro sees nothing and simply says "No Device Control"

Any ideas as to what I am doing wrong ?

TIA Rock

I have the same problem with the full version.
I too use Pinnacle without any probs.
So I capture with Pin and edit with Pro & AE.

Bit of a bitch really.

I think you'll have to take out the Pinnacle card as this conflicts with Adobe on my system.

[Holden MacGroyn]

The pinnacle card is just a capture card.
Regular firewire and not specific to Pin.

Failing that Rock, use Vegas Video.

Thanks guys - helpful advice as ever

One thought occurs - Holden's idea of capture in Pinnacle, edit in Adobe sounds good. At the risk of asking a naive question - is the capture in Adobe any better quality than in Pinnacle ?
