Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 MKV support?

Legend

I'm not particularly 'against' Matroska files. But the reality is that at this point in time, they're pretty much a non-existant format in the world of editing. (Hell even in the world of consumer playback, they're very rare).

Masking in video is called a Matte. Premiere has this ability. If you mean rotoscoping, then yes, that's something Premiere can't do automatically. (But then even Hollywood uses special tools for this, doing it one frame at a time.)

Hi Jim Simon - I told you we've had this conversation before, lol - or at least a very similar one. When I signed in recently, it asked for a username for some reason. I entered Typhoon859 but technically it's the same account. This is David "Kozar".

Just trying to point out that nothing ever changes XD

Not until Premiere programmers add support, anyway.

MKV is becoming more and more frequently used... It can contain subtitles and multiple audio streams. It's almost always used as a container for h264 encoded HD files. There's nothing wrong with what Oldarney said. I don't understand why people on this form, the "Adobe Professionals" which now I just see as fan-boys, are so against MKV among other things. It's ridiculous that Adobe Premiere doesn't accept DVD-Rips directly and instead has to be tricked using an AVS script, AFTER already downloading the AVS extension for Premiere.

Well... the last complaint aside from video compatibility, Premiere has no masking capabilities, one of the most major things in video editing. If I ever need to do it, I have to use Photoshop, editing frame by frame, after saving them from Media Player Classic (as one of the players capable of saving the frame that is paused at). Then I import each of the frames and make a video out of those separate frames..

>ehem... 1992. playback...

Yeah, you're reading too much into that.

And what Matroska hopes to be and what it's place really is the current world of computer media are two very different things.

Audio Video Interleave, known by its acronym AVI, is a multimedia container format introduced by Microsoft in November 1992 as part of its Video for Windows technology. AVI files can contain both audio and video data in a standard container that allows *synchronous audio-with-video playback*.

ehem... 1992. playback...

one of matroskas goal is to: Establish Matroska as the opensource alternative to existing containers such as AVI, ASF, MOV, RM, MP4, MPG

Adobe opened up the pdf format, adobe is just notch below google as a simbol of good under the public eye. mkv would only improve that image.

This will sound rude, and I genuinely mean no disrespect, but I have to say that you really don't know what you're talking about.

Hi,
sorry for re-resurrecting this not-so-new thread. You support .mov and .AVI files but not .MKV? .Avi files where never meant to be edited. It would do a lot of good to Adobes reputation if it supported MKV, after all how hard could it be to implement an open format?
