Hey guys!

I'm trying to make the switch from WMM to Premiere, because Premiere is kind of orders of magnitude better, but when I upload .avi files into Premiere, I only get the audio tracks, not the video tracks. I've tried this with files from all different sources, and had the same problem every time. (All these files play fine in WMM and WMP, so there's nothing wrong with them.)

Has anyone else had this problem with Premiere? Any suggestions for dealing with it?

Thanks a ton!

huge files being exported in premiere pro & VDub

[sabrina-il.livejournal.com]

So I recently moved to Premiere (my WMM died so I'm taking the big leap) and I have a question. I make a vid, export it, and it comes out HUGE. I mean 30 seconds is about 250MG. Most frustrating since you can't really upload that kind of thing online.

I know this must sound like an obvious one but I've looked around and (like many very simple Premiere issues) there's no answer I've been able to find. Is there a setting I'm missing? Does it take another program?

Also, I use VDub to cut my clips (since Premiere doesn't play with my torrent-ed .avi files) and they all come out HUGE as well. I mean I cut like 10 seconds from a scene and the file is, once again, 250MG. I don't mind it that much cos I got some space and it's taught me to watch twice cut once but I was wondering if perhaps that too is fixable. I usually mark the clip I want and do File->Save As AVI.

Thank you, any help mucly appriciated!!

Star Wars Fans Get Chance to Have Videos Showcased

[earthdogue.livejournal.com]

The Star Wars films, long a favorite target of video spoofs posted online and even full-length dramatic knock-offs, are now giving birth to the "Star Wars Fan Movie Challenge" -- an event being created by Lucasfilm, AtomFilms, and SpikeTV. The three companies on Wednesday announced that they had set up a website, http://starwars.atomfilms.com  where Star Wars fans could submit videos for a chance to have them showcased on Spike TV during the channel's coverage of Lucasfilm's Star Wars Celebration IV convention in Los Angeles (May 24-28), commemorating the 30th anniversary of the release of Star Wars.
