PremPro 2.0 + Clips w/Audio

[yunafire.livejournal.com]

Yes, I know. Audio attached to clips is the big major no-no. And, usually, I don't work with them - in fact, rarely do I ever. But. I'm working on a vid now and there's places in the song that would fit well with dialog.

Thing is, I'm using Premiere Pro 2.0, and grabbing my clips via VirtualDub. All the methods I've tried to get a clip with sound have led to massive fail. Mainly because Premiere Pro will only accept Uncompressed Avi or HuffyUV.

I've tried...

1) saving clip as huffyuv, saving audio seperate, combining both in PremPro. Unsynched.
2) saving clip as uncompressed, saving audio, seperate... save as 1).
3) keeping source clip/audio, saving as xvid. Xvid is jittery in PremPro.


So, a clip w/audio in Premiere. At all possible? Maybe some work-around? Thanks.

why don't you encode the huffyuv with the audio?

Tried that as well, but when I import to Premiere, it shows up as video only. No audio.

...wait. I think I figured it out. Need to save video and audio seperate, then join them in vdub and save as a new huffyuv avi... and, sound~! Yatta!

Question related to the topic: how come huffyuvs are not viewable in players? I tried watching them in both BSPlayer and GomPlayer, but I get either black video or static...yet those same clips will play perfectly in PremPro.

honestly i don't know. I've never had that problem. You might have FFDSHOW decoding it so that might be the reason why.

Yeah, I think I do. I have the Klite Codec Pack 3.7.5 downloaded/installed :/

You can make them into .mov files using MPEG stream clip. Premiere freaking loves .mov. When you import an .mov file with sound, it'll take a while for Premiere to convert the sound file, but it'll be easy to work with once it's done.

I'm using avisynth so I've always just snagged the audio I needed from the .wav file DGIndex makes and then synched it up with the video using a video track line. Actually I did the same thing when I was using clips rather than avisynth--used DVDtoAVI to separate audio from video and then snagged the .wav file for the audio clip.
