Yes, that is how I am currently editing. It is tedious!

Audio is fine. I believe it has to do with either the timecode format, or metadata.

It is Premiere Pro CC v12.01, build 69 -- the latest as far as I know.

All footage, all cameras are720p, 30fps.

K7 Video Issues with Adobe Premiere Pro

I saw some gorgeous video on YouTube shot on the K-7. I've had one but never shot video with it, so I gave it a shot.

First problem came with the 10 minute shut off, so to shoot a 50 minute performance, I had to be on the ready to restart it every ten minutes.

Now I'm trying to edit in the latest version of Premiere Pro, Windows 7, 64-bit, plenty of RAM and storage space. As soon as I imported the K-7 AVI files to Premiere Pro, I got the error message: File importer detected an inconsistency in the file structure of (file name). Reading and writing this file's metadata (XMP) has been disabled. It applies to all files from the K-7.

As I continued editing, the K-7 files don't sync with my other files from my Nikon D800 and cell phone. A previous shoot with the D800 and cell phone synced fine and came out great, so I'm certain the problem is the K-7 files.

I tried re-encoding the K-7 AVI files using Adobe Encoder and Handbrake. Handbrake got rid of the error message, but it still won't give me audio sync.

Anyone got a solution?

Pressure Plate dimples on IR film

I use a variety of lenses, usually either a 50mm f/1.2 Pentax (screw mount adapted) or a Tamron 24mm f/2.4. Occasionally I may use a longer lens, but only for details such as gargoyles. I have filters that fit the different lenses so don't need to change them so much. What kind of film are you shooting?

SOLVED - A much belated post to help others who may encounter this odd problem. I removed the pressure plate and sprayed a coating of black primer paint. After it dried, I wet sanded until it was smooth, put it in the camera and have had fabulous success.

My list is humble, yet effective. I started, as so many others have, with the K1000. I bought only one of these -- the others were freebies!

K1000 (two of them - the winding mechanism on my first broke)
KX
Ricoh KR-5 Super II

I'll try resurrecting this thread...

I've been using an Epson Photo Perfection 1670 with the film-strip carrier. It has worked well for years, but now seems to generate some odd lines. I looked into getting a new/different scanner, sending my film for drum-scanning, etc. Found a very interesting website that compares DSLR capture of negative (as done with the coveted slide duplicator), with images captured by Imacron scanners (Hassalblad, $$$ CHA-CHING!). Results showed a better image produced with a MUCH smaller size file using the DSLR.

The setup he has is Nikon, but I'm sure my K7 would do the job. Now to get my hands on one of those slide duplicators with the bellows!

I'm shooting infrared film, using a variety of cameras - KX, Ricoh KR-5 Super, and the beloved K1000!

How to replace broken LCD on Pentax K100D

I have a similar situation with a K100D. The LCD works, but the glass cover is cracked. Does anyone know how/where to get this repaired? Parts? A service manual? Thanks.

Pressure Plate dimples on IR film

Thanks, OniFactor. Foil tape would be very similar to the mylar, and yes, it would be very reflective which is not a bad thing. The trick is finding foil tape that is the size of the pressure plate. If you could direct me to a source, that might be the fix I need.

Dave, I am wondering if Pentax has only ever made one pressure plate for all 35mm SLRs!

Thanks, Dave. Were you shooting HIE? This only happens with HIE. Do you recall if either of those pressure plates were perfectly smooth?

Pressure Plate dimples on IR film

Okay, I use Kodak HIE-135 infrared film, and plan to keep using it. No other film does what it does.

I use a KX. Started with a K-1000. Love em!!!

The down side to my film/camera is that since HIE has no anti-halation backing, I occasionally get the dimple pattern from the pressure plate reflected onto the negative. I need a pressure plate that is perfectly flat and no dimples.

The pressure plate from the KX is same as on K-1000. I tried a couple of modifications with bad results: I painted one pressure plate with body primer and sanded smooth, but not smooth enough - now have swirly pattern! I also tried taping black mylar to the plate, but the tape did not hold.

1) Is there any way to get a replacement pressure plate that has a completely smooth surface - no dimples?

2) If not, does anyone have any suggestions to make my previous efforts for modifying my plate work?

3) Should I use a different camera with a smooth pressure plate?

4) Don't EVEN tell me to use digital IR!!!


Thanks!
