I imagine Firewire based audio device do not work using Premiere Pro on Apple computers. Not sure why Adobe dropped support for Firewire on the Mac side. As you can tell from the video the M1 chip and OS X can still make use of firewire devices. The SVID2USB23 USB 2.0 S-Video & Composite Video Capture Cable offers an easy to use analog video capture solution, enabling you to grab video from an S-Video or Composite video source, as well as the accompanying 2-channel RCA audio, to your Mac® or Windows® computer. Moving forward I will still still recommend the Firewire devices but I will let Apple users now they will have to use FCPX or iMovie in order to capture the VHS tapes and import them into Premiere Pro. Thanks for the info and I think the discussion was helpful. Is that any better than using the Elgato software and importing the clips it into Premiere Pro? I myself trust the Firewire devices more than the cheap USB capture cards. Some digital camcorders have 'passthrough' capability, where the raw feed from your analog camcorder will go directly through the digital camcorder and be captured in real time on your computer. I admit you need to use another NLE but you can import the clips from iMovie into Premiere Pro. Digitize video from a VCR, camcorder and other analogue video sources for playback on your Mac, PC and iPad Transfer video to your Mac or PC from a VCR, DVR, camcorder, or any other analogue video device as a high quality H.264 file. Capture the video on your digital camcorder or allow it to 'passthrough' to your computer. I tested my Firewire DV converter on the new M1 iMac using iMovie.


I will still recommend Firewire devices because I know on the Mac side iMovie can still capture VHS tapes using Firewire devices. The original poster was looking for a solution that would work with Premiere Pro. I think the quality of my video is decent but I simply used Premiere Pro from start to finish making it a supper easy process. That being said the video I posted has samples near the end and would also have the compression.
