Problems in Premiere 6.5 / DeInterlacing in Vegas

[AikenAnimeMaster]

Hey all.

I prefer to use Vegas 4, but I have Premiere sitting on my hdd and I decided to give it another try.

I can get it to import my fake avis ok....and I can get the some video edited. But then Premiere just dissapears/shutsdown spontaneously. It does this after I import more than 1 avi video. It'll just turn off. For no reason...no errors...nothing. Just turns off.

Is there anyway to fix this? Is there an update or fix patch for this?
I went to Adobes website and they have no updates for 6.5, and I called them and they said "Your the only one with this problem...we cant help you." So I'm kinda stuck.....
------------------------------------------------------
Ok also...How do I deinterlace video with Vegas 4?
I tried the avisynth code and MakeAVIs wont take the code....says that code doesnt exist or some thing like that.

So should I use Vegas' built-in deinterlace option? Or do I need to run my raw video through something to deinterlace it? Or do it after I render the video? Hell...I dunno. All the tuts say use the avisynth code.

Thanks for the help.

Also...

I havent seen many AMV tutorials for Vegas 4. I'd sure like to see that sometime in the future.

If someone could type one up in MS Word or something, I wouldnt mind throwing together a webpage for it. I even have some webspace to store it on.

Or there should be a Premiere section and a Vegas section....since both use a little different method to edit/import/export and all that.

Just an idea. Lemme know if anyone is interested in doing that.

Premiere just likes to spontaneously crash. Probably nothing you can do about it.

How are you trying to deinterlace in your avs script? You should probably be performing IVTC, but it's difficult to disgnose your problem without more information. And I would definately recommend doing the deinterlacing in Avisynth rather than Vegas.

I tried to add the Telecide() code to my avs file, but when I run it through MakeAVIs, I get an error saying that the code doesnt exist or something to that effect.

So my avs file should look like this right?

loadplugin("C:\AVSFilters\MPEG2Dec3dg.dll")
mpeg2source("E:\Hellsing\Hellsing1.d2v")
Telecide(1)
Decimate(5)
LanczosResize(720,360)

....it wont take anything below the Mpeg2source line. When I take the other lines out its ok and goes through.

And if Premiere crashes so damn much....why/how do people use it? I couldnt work like that knowing that any second I could click a button and lose everything because of a bug. Thats why I've been using Vegas.....no crashy.

I tip my hat to all you Premiere buffs out their. I dunno how you do it.

Thanks.

You need to load the decomb plugin in order to use telecide.
It would be something like loadplugin("C:\AVSFilters\decomb.dll") assuming that you have the plugin in that folder.

And I don't really know why everyone uses Premiere either, though I used to use it myself untill just recently. I guess it was basically the only decent program available back when I, and many others started making other amvs, and once you get set in your ways, you dont wanna bother with something else. And what happens? New people come and want to know what to make their video with, they see that the oldschool people are using premiere, so they decide to use premiere too. Pretty soon everyone is using premiere, and when something better comes along, no one even knows or cares.

And I don't really know why everyone uses Premiere either

In my case, it's because that's what my family already had and I didn't feel like buying something else with my OWN money.

I don't see why everyone flames premiere. It's never crashed on me. You should see what I've put that thing through.
