Tom, I believe that the camera is not being seen by Windows, but others in my department think it may be an issue with Adobe. The PC does not regonize the camera at random times, but once Premire does see the camera, it does not seem to drop it. I was wondering if there are known issues with firewire cards or if there is a good way to check them.
An important item to know is that a teacher took some of the cameras home and said that she could not connect to her PC at home. This cameras are all in the $400 to $500 dollar range and are less than a year old. Can the firewire card damage the port on the camera? We have a cd labeled Adobe Premire 7.0 and we are using Windows XP with SP2. I will look for more info on that.

Does windows "lose" the connection, or does Adobe Premiere "lose" it? I believe that if it is an initial connection problem, then it really is not an Adobe Premiere question, although we will try and help you. Much easier to know if it is an operating system problem or an Adobe problem. > > Also, you state you are using version 7.0, which can also be know as Adobe Premiere Pro 1.0. You state that you have "all of the security patches". Does this mean you are running SP2? My experience with Premiere Pro 1.0 was that it didn't really work well with SP2. Just wondering. > > Hope this helps. > > Tom > > bjensen391 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I have a question that I hope will fit within this group.
