I started editing using final cut pro 7 and i'm making the transition into the adobe video world. Premier is very simlar to final cut, but I think premier is much better as long as you can find your self around.
I chose to capture vhs tapes through a fw 400 to a 800 into my mac with premier instead of final cut. The reason for this is, i noticed that premier had a much better proc amp luma to it then fial cut did. Meaning the capture window in final cut 7 was much darker then in premier pro cs6.

Clik here to view.
The Final cut capture window is on the left and the premier capture window is on the right.
Now this is a very good thing and this is why i chose to capture in premier instead. Does premier have capture presets like final cut does? I'm captureing vhs tapes that are 2 hours long and average to about 30/35 gigs a pop cuase their .movs. Is there anyway to capture as a mpg2 and call it a day? Thank you.
