Using .AVI in Premiere Pro.

Hello,

First of all I want to point out that it's about a MacBook Pro and Adobe Premiere Pro CS3.

This is the problem:

I am an anime editor. I download videos of anime and edit them with my MacBook Pro. Back when i had windows, it was easy: i just installed the needed .avi codecs ( div/xvid) and i could use the .avi files ( wich the clips of the anime i download is) and i was good to go.

Since i have a macbook pro, i can't edit the clips i want with premiere: I installed all the xvid and divx codecs i could find wich allowed me to play the files in quicktime, and also i can edit them with After Effects. But whenever i try to import files in Premiere, it says: ' Unsupported compression in file.'

I've been looking for a solution for 2 days, i would highly appreciate if someone could find a solution.

Regards

( Sorry for my bad english, I am not from the UK / USA. )

      Welcome to the forum.

      CODEC's, the building-blocks of AV files are odd things. Some will work for playability, some for Export and some for editing. This ARTICLE will give you some background.

      I have never been able to Import properly and edit any Xvid, or DivX files on my PC's, and I have those CODEC's properly installed. Some other NLE's can edit with them, like CyberLink's PowerDirector, but PrPro (and PrE) cannot. Something is always wrong with the Imported file.

      I always convert that material to DV-AVI (in my case), and those then edit fine, though the quality hit from the extreme compression is noticeable.

      If you can play these files fine on the Mac in QT, then I strongly suggest that you invest US$30 in the Pro version (just an unlock key), and use QT Pro to Export to MOV format, of Importing into PrPro.

      Good luck,

      Hunt

      Thanks for the quick reply!

      So your advise would be to convert the files I have ( wich are .avi ) to another format like .mov ? I already thought about that but since I have a lot of clips of them like 20 seconds each it will take me a long time. Also what I have understand of your reply is that there is always a ' problem ' editing xvid/divx ? Sorry if i might have misread something, like i said before i am not an english-expert
