Hello, I'm having some very irritating problems with Premiere. First of all, whenever I try to build a preview of something, it takes FOREVER. For example, I had a clip that I did chromakey on, it was about 2 seconds long, and it took almost 15 minutes to build a dinky little preview of it. And don't even get me started on how long it takes to build a 1 minute clip (1 hour). The other problem is that whenever I try to capture stop-motion, an error message always appears, saying: "Cannot connect to capture driver". I've checked to make sure everything's hooked up right, and it is... But it still won't work. Could somebody please help me on these? I'd be eternally grateful.
Thanks!Mr. Hutt ------------------

When it says it can't connect to driver it means the device diver, a software component desined to interact with your OS to allocate resources, etc. So I can't be certain without fiddling under your computers skirt but it sounds as though it thinks the device is being used by another program as it tries to run the stop motion. Perhaps the driver is set to recieve a set of commands from premiere such as a start and stop for single frame capture but the proper stop command isn't being recieved. My suggestion is to update the capture cards drivers in the hopes that the communication problem has been patched.------------------
