editing fansubs in Premiere

I have tried to search for my question in the forum, but the seacrh results suck because I am unable to any thinh but the first page.

My question is how can I use AVIsynth in Premiere to edit fansubs. What AVIsynth script do I have to write so that it imports into Premiere.

First, you're not supposed to use fansubs or downloaded material, so you shouldn't have asked about that. Instead, you should have just said what format the file is in, and how to import that format of file into Premiere.

I don't know Premiere, but if your files are in an odd format, you might try converting them to huffyuv using VirtualDub and editing with those instead - the individual clips. If they have subs, you can also crop them out in Vdub - check the 'subtitle removal' guide in the 'Guides' link on the Member Main Page.

you can frameserve avi files just like you can vob files from ripped DVD's with avisynth. Depending on your computer, it can be a nice or painfull process. In AVIsynth you just use the AVIsource("path to source") command. Most people on this site recomend using vdub to make huffyuv clips and using that in premire. This is much faster, but requires you to make clips before you use them. If you are unfamiliar with this method check out ErMaC's and AD's guide in the guides section of this site. You can also use these files straight in premire but many people have complained on premire crashing on them. I personally have had no problems using digiraws for a video that i had done last year and with one that i am working on currently. I HIGHLY suggest tracking down the raws for whatever footage you want to use and clean it up yourself. Dealing with subs is a pain and many people frown upon subs in a video. Plus you normally can't submit these videos to a convention if you are interested in that sort of recognition. You can also letterbox the video to remove subs, but most people, including myself can tell when something should or should not be letterboxed. Take the effort to choose scenes without dialog or take the time to learn how to export a filmstrip clip and remove subs by hand in photoshop or whatever your favorite image editing program is.

Thanks mckeed. That answers my question. I have been wanting to make an amv to an anime that has not yet been released in America or even on HK dvds.

Arigatomyna: I am not the first person to ask about editing fansubs and besides all fansubs are in AVI format and everyone says not to edit AVIs.

No, everyone says not to edit <b>DivX/XviD</b> AVIs. AVIs that have MJPEG, HuffYUV, or uncompressed video are perfectly fine.

yeah...i just realized that i never mentioned what codec....i just assumed you mean Divx/xvid in my reply. But the same process applies regardless of the codec you are using. AVI is just a wrapper. There are many different ways of compressing video that can be put in an avi.
