Hey Guys,
I am really hoping you can please help me...I am currently in the process of digitising a large quantity of SVHS tapes and have encountered some problems with the digitisation process.
I am currently outputting from a Panasonic FS100 SVHS VCR using S-Video and composite. I am capturing via the Intensity Shuttle using thunderbolt and my platform is the iMac (21.5-inch, Late 2012 model, 2.9 GHz Intel Core i5 with 8GB ram)...The playback from the SVHS is smooth when I output to a smartTV, so I know the FS100 is not at fault, but when I try to capture/playback in post (Adobe Premiere Pro CC) the audio signal is weak and the image unstable, the image flickers every couple of seconds and audio is out of sync ever so slightly.. and at the end of the day it's not suitable for export.
In post lab, I have set the capture settings to 29.98 fps, matching the source and yet I continue to encounter the same issue... I had thought that perhaps the reason why I might be encountering this issue could be due to the fact that I do not have a time based corrector in place? Other than that I am at a loss!
Can someone please recommend what I can do ASAP, as I have over 70 SVHS tapes that I need to digitise by end of the month! I would consider upgrading my hardware and or purchasing a time base corrector (through Blackmagic) but I have a tight budget so I really need the most economical solution possible.
Thanks for your help guys!
