Question

SONY HVR-HD1000 crazy problem!

Dec 23, 2013 7:40AM PST

I am new to this forum, i thought i could find an answer here so i registered.

I have bought a HVR-HD1000U 3 months ago for wedding/etc professional shooting.
I started using it immediately, and have recorded around 10 weddings till now so last week i started to import them in Premiere pro CS6 for editing.

(please note that i do the recording directly on the internal memory and then moving it to my computers hard drive)

What i noticed is that on long takes of 10+ minutes (normally during the wedding dancing time) when the camera is on the tripod, in Premiere sequence i find those video clips losing sound and frame for 1 second every 10-15 minutes!!!
Like it has been cut automatically by the camera during shooting, but it disables sound for 1 second and losing 1-3 frames.

I have tried to find some answers everywhere in the web with no luck.

Could that be because the product is defected in some way?
Could it be because of a buffer issue?
Could it be a setting that i miss to see?

Please help me out here i am going insane!

Thanks

The "U" and "E" designations may be important...

This may not be the issue, but is worth a look...

The HVR-HD1000U is NTSC localized and captures at NTSC standard 29.97 (most folks call it 30) frames per second.

The HVR-HD1000E is PAL localized and captures at PAL standard 25 frames per second).

At what frame rate is the video editor expecting to import video? While we're here, what are the camcorder settings?

The issue could be caused by something else, but there's lots to investigate and confirm, first...
