Revolver Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 (edited) Hi, dudes.When I import files into Adobe Premiere, they don't show up in the source box.I've heard this is to do with codecs, so I thought I'd capture the footage with Premiere - of course it would be able to read files it captured itself.Apparently not, I've got a 6.5GB .AVI file made by Premiere that still won't import. Help!Edit: What's more frustrating is it imports with After Effects. Edited October 13, 2009 by Revolver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Help!Edit: What's more frustrating is it imports with After Effects.Surely if you've captured using adobe the file will, by default, be sitting in the project box? Or do you mean that it won't play in the source monitor?Sometimes premiere doesn't properly render the files when you first import them. I mostly get this issue only with audio files however.Are you definitely selecting the correct video properties for your project?

Revolver Posted October 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 (edited) Erm... there's a source box, on the top left, which is where all the imported files go. I know this because I've got it to do it with a random MPG file to see if it would work.There's only one setting to capture as.There's no other box open that has the files sitting in there ready to use.edit:Ahh, well.You're right Ben... there's another window to open called 'Project', which it does import to. That's pretty retarded, not having the box that you keep the files in to drag to the stage open in the first place.Lol, thanks!

Revolver Posted October 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 Doh.On a related note, Premiere seems to be full of bugs - it just crashed now.Heh, I don't think it helps not really knowing how to use it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've found CS3 to be the most stable. The others can be fairly awful in terms of stability. I even found CS4 to be more unstable than CS3.Premiere is a bit of an arse at first but a lot it is deductable from just playing around. The help section is pretty good as well.
