To capture without device control
If you do not have a device that can be controlled by Adobe Premiere Pro, you can capture video manually. You have
to operate both the playback device controls and the Capture panel controls in Adobe Premiere Pro.
1 Make sure that the deck or camcorder is properly connected to your computer.
2 Choose File > Capture.
3 In the Setup area of the Logging pane, choose your media type from the Capture pop-up menu.
4 Use the controls on the deck or camcorder to move the videotape to a point several seconds before the frame
where you want to begin capturing.
5 Press the Play button on the deck or camcorder, and then click the red Record button in the Capture panel.
6 Record a few seconds beyond the end of the footage you need, to provide room for editing. Press the Esc key to
stop recording.

5 If you want to create a separate file for each new scene on the tape, select Scene Detect in the Capture area.

frames in the Handles box in the Capture area.
