Hey!
Recently I had to have my computer fixed and rebooted. The problem? I
can't remember the settings I had for Adobe Premiere 6.5 for
exporting my fanvids. Usually I could get them to export to around
20-25 mbs, which is a good size for me. I have the Divx Codec and
Cinepack codec. Could anyone tell me what I should make my settings
in order to export vids that aren't 700 mbs!, but still have good
quality?

Sorry to annoy you guys again, but I figure if I'm having problems with this, someone else might be as well ...

I laid a blackscreen matte over my vid to make the letterboxing crisper (and to preserve the letterboxing in clips where I was using a zoom), and I've run into a rather weird bug in Premiere.

( Strange behavior in dissolves with letterboxing )

Can somebody tell me if/where the autosave files are in Premiere 6.0? My program crashed and I hadn't saved the project when I put those clips down because I wasn't sure if it worked with those lyrics. ):

Someone solved it! If having a similar problem you could read the comments. (:

Greetings and salutations -- hope someone can help me, here. I'm at my wit's end. I'm in mid-vid right now, and Premiere "encounters a problem" and hangs every time it tries to render the entire thing. It's been occasionally spotty in the past, but now it simply cannot get to the end of the vid, and I'm ready to throw my computer out the window.

Does anyone know of a way for me to work around this that doesn't involve using other vidding software? Is there a way for me to render it piecemeal and then use VirtualDub or something like that to stitch the bits together? Will this cause a bobble or hiccup in the music or video?

I'm really at my wit's end. ANY help or suggestions that don't involve me having to stop using Premiere would be greatly appreciated.

Newbie question here: how do I select clips out of an .avi file? I'm using Adobe Premier.

Bottom line is I'm trying to make a vid, and I have all the source material in .avi format, and I want to get into those .avis and be able to use Premier to select and edit and move around clips, right?

So what do I do?

Hello, I have read previous posts about compressing AVI's and stuff like that but I need .mpg's that won't make Premiere 6.5 crash. I looked on the vidhelp tools list but there weren't any free program's there that worked for me.
I tried 'Mmpeg' but that just wrecked the original AVI, before it finished so I'd rather have something that doesn't destroy the original AVI because I would be wanting that. Just using the .mpg to make the video.
The thing is, the AVI is unrecognized by premiere. Possibly because of the AC3 audio codec..

I've recently tried to switch to using something other than a (very old) Dazzle for ripping my DVDs.

I'm running Windows XP, Pentium 4, 512MB RAM, 74GB hard drive. I used SmartRipper to rip the DVD to my hard drive, because I like how it breaks the DVD up into chapters that I can use -- this has been the easiest way for me to do things.

I took the extracted VOB files into FlaskMPEG to try to get something that Premiere would recognise. The MPEG options were entirely unreasonable for me: 16 hours to rip seven minutes into a 2000+ MB file just plain sucks.

The AVI options are:
Cinepak Codec by Radius - incompatible
Intel Indeo(R) Video R3.2 - doesn't work at all, Flask asks me to pick another format
Intel IYUV codec - see above
Microsoft Video 1 - Flask does this neat trick of shutting itself down when I pick this one.
DivX 5.1.1 Codec - works if the files are really really small; would be wonderful if it didn't give Premiere hissy fits with clips over a minute long: the files are very small (bliss!) and nice and clear, and will export as .mov or .wmv without the watermark. Is beautiful except for the Premiere hissy fits, really.
Intel Indeo Video 4.5 - verrrrry slow. Almost an hour for just 5 minutes of footage, and the file sizes for a few minutes' worth of footage are in the 100s of MB.
Indeo video 5.10 -- incompatible
Xvid MPEG-4 Codec -- incompatible
Uncompressed Video -- incompatible

I could cut up the movies I want to use into tiny, 1-minute DivX files -- it would of course become a difficult setup to manage and keep track of. It's much easier for me to go by chapter as then I know exactly where everything is. I admit this freely -- I am an anal person. The movies I use are things like The Lord of the Rings (EE versions, too) and Harry Potter -- that would be a lot of files to sift through.

So! Are there any other options out there? Anything that will let me convert the VOB files into avi or mpeg, with a decent encoding time and manageable file sizes (no 300mb five-minute clips, for instance) and that doesn't make Premiere go "omgwtf! *crash*" ?

I'm making my first tentative forays into vidding, and seem to be running into every problem this side of the sun. One thing I'm really having problems with is DVD rips and Premiere. I can rip the video, no problems. But for some reason, Premiere doesn't seem to like importing widescreen format video. I suspect it's just me. It imports and plays in Premiere fine, but if I try to export it to WMV, RealMedia, or any other format through the media encoder, I get a black border around all the video. If it was just black bars on the top and bottom, I'd live with it, but this has bars on the sides as well, compressing the video to a small size.

The confusing thing is, if I export as a plain AVI, I have no problems. And while this does solve the problem somewhat (because I can export, re-encode to DivX to crop, and then reimport to Premiere as a new project to encode to RealMedia or whatever), it is a very roundabout solution.

Has anyone run into this sort of problem, or have any idea what I might have done wrong?

Edit: Have found a way to resolve the problem. Though it will require me to re-rip all the video I've done, it solves the issues. By using Gordian Knot as my DVD ripping program, and setting the crop to a custom aspect ratio, as opposed to a smart crop (I find a crop aspect of 1.3 works well), I can reduce a wide-screen source to a standard 4:3 output. Seeing as how very little wide-screen video is actually important to the scene, this is good for my needs.

At Ebay, there is an auction open for Adobe Premiere 6.0 (at this link)
I'm weary to bid on it since the price seems so low for the actual product. Would anyone mind taking a gander and advising if they think it's the full software package of if there is some vital components missing that I don't see.

FYI: I'm just now starting on getting software/hardware together so I can start tinkering with vids. I still need Firewire and I have Windows 98.
I'm in the early stages but if this ebay item is the real deal I don't want to miss out on the bargin price.

Any feedback would be glorious. 8)

Hey everybody! First off, I wanted to thank everyone who's helped me out the other times I've come to this community for assistence - I really have appreciated it, so thank you very much.

My newest query has to do with the copy of Adobe Premiere Pro (version 7) I recently acquired. I've attempted to install in onto my computer a couple of times, but every time I try, it says that the "data2.cab" file (that came on the cd, with the program itself) isn't working, and I was wondering if anyone else has had/knows anything about this problem and how to fix it? Would anyone with Adobe Premiere Pro be willing to send me their data2.cab file, so I could see if substituting it would work? If it's too big to email, using http://www.dropload.com would work (it's a website with a free service that allows people to host large files on their servers for 48hours, so the person they want to send it to can download it at their leisure).

Anyways, anything anyone could offer would be greatly appreciated, so thank you very much (in advance). :)

Heey, I'm having issues with premiere. It won't pick up sound for any avi files. I really would like to be able to use sound for some things, and more then half of my movie stock is in avi format.

Does anyone know any way to fix this?

Hello, I've got a premiere question I need help with. Is there a way to reverse frames using it?

I really need to have movie clips reversed for the vid I have in mind but I can't figure out how to do it.

Thanks for any help!

Been racking my brain and hurting my monitor quite a lot with a vid I'm working on. Could someone please tell me how to make to clips that are running at the same time over lap? For example: I have a clip of Lionel Luthor that I want to have running at the same time as a clip of Lex. One superimposed over the other.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Well, it was useful for me when I was trying to find out why my codec wasn't working and I had forgotten that I'd turned on cropping ... *rolls eyes at self*

Anyhow, someone else will probably find this useful if they do a lot of digital work, so bookmark and enjoy!

I've been downloading some episodes off kazaa. I have over twenty right now --- but about four of them, with some really excellent scenes that I would like to use in a vid have captions (?) in german at the bottom. It's very important that I use those scenes for a vid that I'm working on, but I can't imagine using it with that at the bottom and that's the only version that seems to be around for those episodes. Is there any way to remove those? I've heard of vidders editing out the opening credits from scenes, so I thought that there might be.

Thanks *very* much, in advance.

I have a non-LJ friend that just got Premiere, and isn't sure how to use it at all. I would help her, but I'm a Windows Movie Maker girl. Could anyone offer some tips for her or maybe explain it a bit? If so, please email her here or IM her on AIM: LifeOfFree

Thanks guys!

I'm still working with Windows Movie Maker over here...
I can not figure out Premire. At all. I can add in effects but then I can't figure out how to turn it into a movie file and when I do turn it into a movie file the effects aren't added. And the sound for .avi files won't come up. But the sound will come up before I put it on the timeline. Don't even get me started on transitions...
It's all very confusing. Help? Anyone? Maybe a link to a decent guide?

Hello all, I'm new. I don't have anything up anywhere -- I'm relatively new to vidding. Been wanting to mess with it for some time, now quite hopelessly addicted, have got nothing done all week. I just have a quick question; exporting files from Premiere works fine, but the files are so huge. How can I make small, downloadable quality files so I don't have to forcce 77 meg on my hapless friends? Do I need to run it through something, or use another codec? (DivX seems to make the smallest files, though trial and error takes so much time I haven't tried too many. Thought it would be sensible to ask.)
