Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0 Won't Open Full File

Ryvannis · Post by **Ryvannis** » Thu Sep 13, 2007 3:32 am

Ok I encoded my raw episodes from OGM to AVI via VirtualDub, took me 10 hours to encode all the episodes.
I import them to Premiere Pro and they show up to be only 3 minutes long, I'm a bit confused here, I check over and over in loading different presets,etc.
But no go in getting the correct time, this happened to all the files imported in, I even tried it one file at a time.
Checking the file with even Media Player 11 proved that it was not 3 minutes.

I downloaded codec packs installing them and uninstalling them at one at time, hell I restarted every time to be sure and safe.

Any idea on how to fix the issue? I searched these forums and no go at all in finding the right answer.
Help would be very appreciated.

What codec did you transcode into? Also, how much RAM do you have?

first thing...codec packs are generally bad (an example being the k-lite pack which has about 6 versions of divx, xvid and some others)

the only codec pack that is recommended is CCCP...which takes some configuration to get it running right.

uninstall ALL codec packs (except for cccp if you have it)

next thing. what codec did you use to encode your footage?

I used DivX 4.12, I'm using CCCP right now.

Ant idea on how to configure it?
I got 1.5GB of DDR ram.

you go start, all programs, cccp, video decoder settings
go through the codec list and disable ffdshow for all the codecs you have
do the same for audio decoder settings

when you're done with that, you may need to click the CCCP settings icon (in the same place as decoder config)
disable decoding of anything you have (checkboxes, similar to the decoder config)
dsiable avi support for haali media splitter and click re-register all filters

there have been some times where I've messed around with the settings and then not been able to play .mkv files, re-registering filters fixed that.

you don't want to be editing with divx/xvid footage
I'm not in a position to look for the url to the site that explains why you shouldn't...but if you use search with (avi files don't work) you should run into the solution right away

Sry, but: HAHA xD
All the 10 hours were for nothing.

Ok DivX, XviD and company are not made for editing. Therefor Premiere Pro and other advanced programs don´t support it any more and believe me: There are tons of reasons against DivX editing.

What you should do:
-Load your files into avs scripts and adds some filters to clean them up
-Open the script in VDM
-Render out the clips you need in a looseless codec like Huffyuv or Lagarith.
(if you have enough hardspace you can encode all episodes in looseless, but beware:
This gonna be huge files)
-Use this clips in Premiere
-Export in looseless from Premiere when you´re done
-Make an XviD or x264 of the final file
---> Publish it on the .org

These guides tell you a lot about things you should do:

Ok then, I thought encoding it in DivX was the right way to do it, I guess not. -_-

Well thanks for all the help I'll give it a shot tonight. ^_^

Again I only have a gig space left after encoding, so my HD is small right now so I think I'd only be able to make the final vid losseless, well at least I'm getting somewhere.

By the way you guys don't mind setting me up a script for my avs files and possibly advice on how to add on multiple files? I resorted to using this when my DivX files wouldn't go, and neither the avs files would load in correctly. I have been trying to fix it for days, I searched the forums, googled, checked tutorials and still no go in resolving me issues.

Vista seems to crash all the time with VirtualDub and switching back to XP isn't possible anymore, I can do only one file at a time and adding more then 8 just crashes it cause it can never read the 13 column. (source files)

I tried the same with premiere and it just crashes it all the time it gives me like 10 secs to use the program before it slows and gives me the hateful crash window.

I'll try out the suggestion you guys are giving me, but its going to be hard to get it to work with AviSynth when plugins or scripts don't load correctly.

If you use HuffYUV I don't think you will have enough room to encode an entire episode with just one gig left. All my files came out to at least 6 gigs after I encoded them.

I believe your asking about job control in VDM? were you assign multiple projects to start encoding after another.

Also I don't believe this is vista's fault for crashing, I am using vista and it really never crashes, VDM crashes quite frequently on it's own but not vista. Premiere hasn't crashed at all so dunno about that. But I think it's VDM not vista

.

This sounds very familiar to my issue with mkv files. I would encode an entire episode and only 3 mins would show up in premiere.

So far no one's been able to help me figure it out so I've just had to cut out 3 min clips from my videos XD.

It really doesn't matter what you do on the importing end of things right now. You don't have enough hard drive space to even export your video correctly when you're done. You desperately need more HDD space.
