Adobe Premiere Question

Sat, 12/20/2003 - 21:58 — Anonymous Coward

Could someone tell me how to attach a video monito or tv to my pc so that the scrub and project monitors appear on the second monitor or tv. I have a raedon 9800 video card with a s-video out on the back. I have manged to get the computer to output to the s-video as well as to my normal monitor but it just duplicates the image on my primary monitor or allows me to use an extended desktop. Not what I want. What I would like is just the video image from the editing monitors in Adobe to appear on my 2nd monitor. I am able to do this with my dv camera attached via fire wire and from my camrea to my secondary monitor but I want to be able to do this without using my camera. I know there is a way to do it can someone tell me how. M

Re: Adobe Premiere Question

I also have the 9800 and have tried to do the tv hook-up but havent figured it out yet. But, I'm getting help in a couple of days so I'll reply to this or give you a PM to walk you through. If you figure it out, please let me know.

If you have a firewire port, the best solution I can think of is to get a digital to video converter box and run the outputs through a monitor.

This is why I dig my Nvidia software...lol. Simple to use TV OUT controls.

Re: Adobe Premiere Question

Well I figured out how to do it a month ago, but it requires a camera. If your video camera has a firewire port, you hook up the firewire cable from your computer to your camera. Then from the camera to the TV, you use your A/V cord. This process if called "video thru" and if your using Premier Pro, you can tell it to play back on DV hardware. NOTE: the camera has to be on VCR setting, so what ever the camera sees, the TV sees. Hope this works for all of you.

Re: Adobe Premiere Question

yes nvidia certainly makes life easier Laughing out loud just adding to liquid image's beaut point, ive been using video thru on prem pro for a while and it certainly is the light. especially when you find that pro's monitor view may not be entirely correct, ie what you see is not what you get!! say your clipping an image for that sweet cinematic view. depending on what camera you use, youll find your tv is actually cutting off 10% of the original image. to get the most out of your camera and your cinematography make each frame 90% its original size and get the most out of your shot. video thru is a great way to do this without having to dump the entire project down hope this helps people Eye-wink

Re: Adobe Premiere Question

Yes... if doing ANY pc based editing, remember that when sending to TV you need to figure there's a 5% "SAFE ZONE" on every side it will cut off when transferred to TV. So dont put anything critical in that 5% border.
