Hi! I've been filming the other day with a Sony DCR FX7, and CS5 Premiere Pro and Capture do not recognize the camera.. any suggestions? :)

@Thomnasty Try SenorCajones's suggestion. Also, make sure in your capture settings panel that you have the appropriate capture format selected, i.e. DV or HDV.

[MediaCollege]

@butterypopcornvideo Do you have your capture settings set to record both audio and video? Again though, you need to supply more details to have a chance at getting useful advice. See my reply to awesomeblandskater below.

@lauracinearte Laura, try DV only, see if that works.
