When I select the 'Switch to Adobe Premiere' option in FAST.forward, I get the following error message:

"Project cannot be exported to Adobe Premiere, some clips do not have media files."

However, I have checked the files, and they have the .dif, .wav and the .fdp files in the same directory folder that I have selected.

I am running NT 4.0, have to two 9 gig SCSI hard drives, 256K of RAM and a 1.2 gig Athlon processor. So I doubt that I lack the hardware resources.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Dear Jazman

It sound like you haven’t captured the clips correctly. Check in the Clips window to see if there are any clips with a red dot on them and if there are any that you don’t need, delete them. Keep the ones you need and click on the “Start Batch Capture Button” to save them on your hard drive. Then, you should be able to import them into Adobe Premiere.

OK, I checked and all the clips have red dots in the viewer window.

I am using your DV.now AV product, so I cannot "Batch Capture" because I am capturing from an analog camera.

Could this be causing a problem?

Again, thanks for your prompt responses thus far. I look forward to your next one.

Yes. Green dot means it is captured. Red dot means not captured.

If it is an analog source (no firewire control) you have to do a manual capture.

This happened to me. Everything captured okay (analog) but I made the mistake or renaming something after it was captured. I dont remember what exactly.

After that all clips went to red dot. I probably screwed up the path for FF to find the clips or something like that. I gave up trying to figure it out (probably some simple solution of renaming path) and just recaptured.
