Adobe Premiere Importing slow

Okay, now I'm getting irritated.

I usef ALL the compressing styles. Fast, Normal AND Full. NONE of them worked. It just doesn't import the clips to Adobe.

Doesn't HuffYUV go nuts of the video's dimensions arn't mod8 or mod16?

Amazon.com's international shipping charges. Yeah, so you'll have to wait a while for your stuff if you want the cheap shipping. Big deal.

The marketplace sellers are usually pretty cheap. I buy a lot of stuff from them used (most of it as new) and I've never had a problem. I do read the feedback as well as checking the rating, as some people still give positive ratings if their stuff turns up late or damaged.

As for the cost of the source itself... well, it's your choice to use that anime. If you don't want to pay for a lot of DVDs, get a series that doesn't have so many episodes.

Open up an exported clip in VirtualDubMod, go to File --> File Information, and see what's there. I think there's enough useful information on that screen.

It just tells the specifics.. Lagarith encoded blah blah. Do I need to look up something specific in there?

I thought you were using Huffyuv? Anyway, that screen has the resolution and... some other stuff on it (I'm halfway through a five-hour encode and I don't feel like interrupting it). If nothing else, it'll rule out some potential problems.

If all you're doing is opening the original file and then compressing it to a different codec then I don't know what the problem is.

Don't convert full files to lossless. Make your clips in VirtualDubMod and import those into your editing program.

That's what I did. Still not working.

I used Lagarith and Huffy both. But I think Lagarith is a little better, so I used it more often.

So what's the problem?
You set VirtualDubMod to full processing mode for the clips and imported them into premiere at the corect framerate and everything, right?

Huffyuv is NOT yet a stable video codec.
It gives me some trouble too with premiere pro.
So, if it doesn't work now, it will never work. Just Drop it.

For cropping subtitles, you can do it later, in
Premiere Pro. It's more easy.

Try [ FFDSHOW - MJPEG ] instead of Huffyuv.
Download the full version of FFDSHOW

Now, select the codec in VirtualDub and..
1. Set the encoder to: MJPEG
2. Set the method to: 1pass - Quantizer
3. Set the Quantizer to: 1 (as parameter)

3.5. Video > Fast Recompress. For avoiding color conversion and
make the encoding process faster.

4. You can enable "Image Processing" from "input" to correct
the aspect ratio or to deinterlace your video source, if needed.
It works better than VirtualDub > filters.

Launch the encoding process, and you will optain a "almost lossless"
video file, good enough for web downloading distribution.
(in fact, you will encode your final video in XviD or DivX, and they are
both LossyCodecFormat! So, there is no reason to use LossLessCodecFormat for the editing. )

Have you solved the trouble?

Uhh... Yes it is...

HuffYUV is about as stable as it gets and you'll only see problems if you install that one BAD version of it or use a video resolution that isn't mod16 or mod8, (I think mod8 is also included) because if you do that the files become sorta unreadable to a point.
