8mm transfer to PC

[garent]

I have a Sankyo Super 8 player, with a 3 blade shutter, and recording it via an Elura40mc Canon camcorder straight onto the PC using Premiere 6.5. The camcorder is an American version, thus NTSC/60 cycles, however I'm in australia running the projector on 50 cycles. I'm obviously getting the flicker on 18 or 34fps. What's the best way to eliminate this?

Cheers,

If you are using an NTSC video camera, make sure that the "steady shot" feature is off and that it is locked at 1/60th of a second. Next, you need a variable speed on the projector so that you can fine tune it to 20fps. That may be hard to do since you are running the projector on 50 cycles, which will naturally make it run slower, unless there's a pulley inside that offsets the speed. At any rate, you will need to *increase* the speed of the unit to 20fps to get rid of flicker.

Hope things work out well!
