Adobe Premiere Importing slow

Listomar · Post by **Listomar** » Fri Jun 30, 2006 3:21 pm

I'm trying to import a full episode of Bleach to Adobe Premiere, but there's just box with "Importing..." in it, and nothings really happening. It hasn't crashed, but it doesn't seem to import it... Or is it just slow as hell? I've been trying to import it for a good while now.. maybe 15min..

What format is the video in?

*hint DivX/XviD = no!, full episode in HuffYUV = crash!, DVD vobs = not full episodes (for some stupid reason)*

you'd be better off taking your clips in virtualDub(/mod) (importing your episodes and using mark in and mark out), encoding those clips with lagarith or huffy, and importing your clips into premiere.

sure, it takes some time...and another program, but if it works it's worth a shot.

.AVI format.

Aah.. Sounds so troublesome... But I guess I'll just have to do it if it wont import full episodes...

Just to clarify, I'm sure that isn't the information that BasharOfTheAges was inquiring about. Kinda a bad choice of words to ask for a "format". What he probably meant is to ask "What codec is the file encoded in?" AVI is a container or "wrapper" for a video codec. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AVI That information alone doesn't give us a good idea of why you are having issues. Although we can guess pretty well (hrm, fansubbed Bleach episode...).

AVI can typically contain video encoded with these codecs: DivX, XviD, MJPEG, and Huffyuv, among others. And audio is usually WAV or MP3, if it has any audio at all. If your video is of the DivX/XviD variety then that is probably the reason why you are having these problems. DivX/XviD = BAD FOR EDITING! Also, MP3 audio has it's own problems in editing software, so DivX video + MP3 audio fansubs = double whammy.

If you want to ask for codec format, then say CODEC FORMAT.

Xvid Mpeg-4. So I'm pretty much f*cked. What can I do?

Use VirtualDub, export losslessly encoded segments, edit with that. You'll find it makes life a LOT easier, just more disk space intensive.

It's complaining about something.. the VirtualDub.

"Couldn't locate decompressor for format "XVID" (unknown)

VirtualDub requires.. blah blah blah"

Someone just give me a link where to download the things I need. I really hate googling for help, when I can get the help I need here. Thanks.

Forget it, already solved.
