Just installed Easy(?) Creator 8 and trying to capture from Panasonic PV GS32.

I get this message:

Operation "Set Template" on Capture Manager Failed

When I click "Details" I also get:

Operation "Set Template" on Capture Manager Failed
Operation "Set Template" on Capture Manager Failed
Operation "Build" on Capture Manager failed
Failed to capture graph
Operation "Set Template" on Capture Manager Failed

(with the repeated lines)

I've selected my USB Device and everything else seems to be right. I do see my video play on my monitor for about 4 seconds before the failed message comes up. Any ideas?

THanks!!!

You need to be connected to your computer via firewire for capture to work.

Since that video camera should have FireWire output capability, you would be best off using that instead of USB. USB connected devices do not always work, and when they do, the quality of the captured video is not as good as capturing using firewire and capturing as DV-AVI type file.

Grandpa Bruce, I do have firewire (the standard 1394 output).

Larry, you're suggesting I bypass my USB connection and go straight through firewire? Any advice on how to do that?

I must be totaly disillusioned. In my naive mind, you bought a digtital camcorder, plugged it into your computer and voila! Video! Am I just fooling myself? I have been trying to get video onto my computer even since I got the camera...last Christmas!!!

Thanks for whatever advice you can offer!!

No delusion, it is just that easy, after you learn all the in's and out's.

As both Larry & GPB suggested, use the Firewire!!!

How about the User Manual that came with your  camera.

Um, dead end there. LAME user manual. Why oh why can't someone make it simple? Neither my camera or softward is being cooperative! :) I'm about it return them BOTH.

Thanks for your insight, though.

Perhaps this will help.  It is from your manual.  You must buy a firewire cable - not supplied by your camera. and you must have a firewire port on your computer (most do).  I don't have a camera that does firwire but there have been a lot of posts about buy the best cable you can afford and one made by Panasonic is preferred.
Regardless of what I say about computer maintenance, there is no need to defrag a solid state hard drive.

Thanks for the link! And sorry for my stupidity. So I'll need to purchase special connectrs to do this? A 4-6 pin connector?

(Am I just totally lame? Why don't I know this and why is it taking so much work to figure it out? Honestly, I thought the USB was just the universally-easy solution?)

Thanks again, friend!

Thanks, Skinis, just saw your post. (Must have been posting at the same time.) So if I purchase this 4-6 pin connector, preferrably from Panasonic, that will connect directly to the back of my computer (yes, it does have Firewire), and then I "should" be good to go? Really????!!!!

You don't have to buy from Panasonic............shop around........use the internet.......read all you can on the subject matter...go to your local computer  store....ask quuestions. Talk to friends, relatives, co-workers .

So how funny is this? I was struggling to load Creator 8 on my laptop but it wouldn't accept the CD-Key. So I'm playing around, and for the hell of it, I plug the USB from the camera into the laptop and try capturing via Windows Movie Maker. Son of a b&$ch it works!

Has anyone had success with this method? I just ordered a 4-6 firewire cable. I'll try that too.

That works.  Do your editing in VideoWave after you convert that captured video to an mpg2 or avi file.  I've never used WMM so you will have to experiment.  
You should get a better capture with Firewire because the file does not have to be encoded several times.
