This is my old way of creating footage:

rip dvd, use flaskmpeg with Indeo, export from premiere with Indeo, tmpeg.

It looked like vhs

This sounds almost like what I used to do 4-5 years ago.

Same here (15fps Cinepak), since that's all my P100 could handle in mid-'98.

I think the dumbest things were while making my Virus video. As I recall, the captures were done at 704x480, but I somehow managed to run out of HD space along the way, so the pictures for the text portions were done at 320x240, as was the end result. (I could redo them, but I don't feel like it)

Also I'm lazy and hadn't read the Premiere manual, so I put hundreds of images on the timeline and changed them to two frames in length by hand. I didn't know about the "import numbered stills" option.

There's an import numbered stills option?

Information that may come in handy...

Heh, yeah, but even for those without Premiere, recent versions of VirtualDub do it now.

Will Premiere let you set the default duration (frames or sec's) of each numbered still?

The only time I used that option, it made each still 1-frame wide and I think it turned the whole batch into a single event; couldn't access each still. This was awhile ago. I'd try it now, but I don't have Premiere loaded anymore.
