4 Connect the analog camcorder or VTR, or the breakout box, A/D converter, digital camcorder or VTR, to the
television monitor with an S-Video or RCA video cable, and RCA audio cables.
5 Put the analog camcorder or deck into VTR or Play mode.
6 In Premiere Pro, select File >New > Sequence.
7 In the Available Presets area of the New Sequence dialog box, select the preset that matches the format of your A/D
converter, not that of the source footage. For example, if you use a DV camcorder or A/DV converter to convert
the analog signal, choose a DV preset.
8 Type a name in the Sequence Name box. Then click OK.
Specify the default audio device
1 Choose Edit > Preferences > Audio Hardware (Windows) or Premiere Pro > Preferences > Audio Hardware (Mac
OS), and set the following options:
• select an output device from the Default Device menu.
• select a buffer size from the Buffersize menu.
2 Click OK.
Audio Hardware panel options
Enable Devices Determines which connected audio device is routed into and out of Premiere Pro. If the device is an
ASIO device, select the ASIO drivers for the device. If the sound card does not have manufacturer-supplied ASIO
drivers, choose Premiere Pro WDM Sound for this setting. For a device to be available, an up-to-date driver must be
properly installed on Windows. In addition, if you want to input more than two stereo channels or monitor 5.1
surround audio, the device driver must comply with the ASIO (Audio Stream Input Output) specification. If it does
not, only stereo inputs and outputs will be available, regardless of the number of hardware inputs and outputs that are
connected.
Buffersize Specifies the size of the buffer, in kilobytes, that Premiere Pro uses for recording audio.
Set up a USB microphone (Mac OS)
1 In the Audio Midi Setup application in Utilities, go to Audio > Open Aggregate Device Editor.
2 Check each of the following:
• Your USB microphone.
• An additional input device, for example, Line In.
• An output device
3 Select this new aggregate device within Premiere Pro's Audio Hardware Preference panel.
Specify ASIO device settings (Windows only)
1 Choose Edit >Preferences > Audio Hardware.
2 Click ASIO settings. Specify the ASIO settings for the selected device.
Note: The settings in this dialog box are set by the device and driver you use, not by Adobe Premiere Pro. See the
documentation for the ASIO device and driver you use.
3 In the Audio Hardware Settings dialog box, select the Input tab.
4 Check the boxes next to the names of any devices you want to enable.
