Topic: Premiere Elements Preview probs.

Hey all, I just picked up premiere elements (complete newbie) and for some reason when I am previewing my movie (which consists of still images, songs, and mpegs) the mpegs are all jumpy and almost impossible to tell what is happening... though, when I burn it to DVD it comes out just fine. Really sucks for editing though, any ideas? (I am capturing as mpeg-2)

edit: Ahh... with some further searching it appears that mpeg is not the best for editing video... I must continue my quest... any pointers?

where does the raw footage come from?
most times its best to just use the format that is captured from the camera. in case of digicams that would be DV-1 or DV-2.

I'm actually pulling the footage from an older analog camcorder... using an analog to digital converter; it only lets me capture as mpeg

in that case i would use the huffyuv codec. it's very fast, lossless and free! perfect for capturing non DV.
