Thread: Closing the Capture window crashes Premiere

Hi,
I'm attempting to capture video from a Sony DHR-FX1. The capture window doesn't show the video as it plays, but it appears to record it; when I stop and save the clip, the saved video appears in the Library window with a visible thumbnail of the video. As soon as I close the capture window, Premiere suddenly shuts down.

The settings in Premiere:
HDV 1080i30 (60)
29.97
1440x1080 (1.33 anamorphic)
16x9
48kHz 16 bit

The computer is a MacPro Tower with OSX Snow Leopard and I'm running version CS5.5.

Thanks much,

I have exactly the same problem since upgrading to CS 5.5 from 4. Seems to be a problem only with HDV. I have captured DV and it works normally. Until I find a fix, I'm making sure I give each captured clip an easily recognisable title so that I can find it later - it does capture but disappears from the project panel when the unexpected quit occurs.
Sorry I can't help but will keep in touch if I discover anything further. Adobe haven't been much help.
