A word of warning to Premiere 6.0 users!
If you are getting a black screen when you open AVISynth files even when you've maximized the window, it's probably because Premiere 6 thinks you want to work with it in its proper aspect ratio. Since the resolution's 720x480 it automatically applies a 0.900 ratio modifier, making it square again. However, since we cannot resize AVISynth video, this is bad. In the forums, rhoda_b came up with the following solution:
After importing the .avs file into your premiere project. Select the file and from the Clip menu choose Advanced Options -> Pixel Aspect Ratio and choose Square Pixels (1.0) from the drop down box. Then stretch the clip window until it's the full 720 x 480. The picture should magically appear![]()
To view the clips in the monitor for preview purposes etc. Choose: Project -> Video Settings and change the pixel aspect ratio to square pixels there as well and make sure the Frame Size is 720x480 or else you'll see nothing ... once again wrangle the monitor window until you have the full frame size.
To export the final project video settings for the frame size and pixel aspect ratio have to be set to 720x480 and square pixels once again. Unfortunately this means you can't export your project from premiere at a different size, but you can then just send the resulting file through VirtualDub.
You're most likely going to resize the resolution smaller, later anyways.
