Houston, we have a yadda yadda yadda...

Wow, it's been a while since I've been here. Oh well, all good things...

Anyway, the problem of the moment has to do with Premiere and it acting...funny about the Avisynth plugin.
My problems started when I downloaded the AMVapp that AD (and others) had worked on. I had no problems with downloading or installing the app, but afterwards when I opened Premiere and tried to start my current project a box would open and Premiere would ask me to locate my AVS file. Now this was strange #1. Because Premiere has *never* done that before. and #2. My AVS file would not show up in the navigator window.

So I tried to type in the name of my AVS file manually, while in the folder the file was in (but not appearing in Premiere). When I entered the name (and the AVS extention) Premiere said that the file type was not valid and would either close immediately or cause a blue screen to come up on my computer with an error. The error is different almost everytime it happens too, sometimes I get a 'dangerously low on resources screen' (note that i'm running nothing else but Premiere at the time) or a 'Premiere has caused an error in...' error.

After going through that a couple of times I deleted my old AVIsynth plugins and dll (which I had mistakenly left in the same places when I downloaded the app, and manually installed the ones included in the app). Same problems occurred.
I then uninstalled the app, downloaded it again, and installed the plugins again. No go, same problems.

So this is where I'm left right now. I haven't gone as far as to reinstall Premiere, but that's probably next on my list unless someone has another solution here. Oh yes, I also want to mention that the project file isn't corrupt, nor is their anything wrong with the AVS script. I know the project file isn't corrupt because if I tell Premiere to 'offline' the AVS file, my project will open normally, I simply cannot see the episode the AVS file is for. And I know their is nothing wrong with the script because I checked it, and then later made a new AVS file with the same name and had the same errors occur.

I'm stuck, and any help anyone could give would be great.

Thanks everyone.

Do you have the Premiere AVS importer plugin installed? If the AVS file doesn't show up in the navigator, maybe you don't have the AVS importer plug-in installed or installed correctly.

It sounds to me like you are using Premiere 5. If you read the thread about the plugin you will see that it doesnt currently work with premiere 5.

However, we think we've fixed this issue so if you want to test it please get in touch.

AD-Yea, sorry I forgot to mention it, but I'm using Premiere 6, so the bug with 5 isn't a problem.

Jason-The problem is that I do have the plugin installed (and installed correctly, as per ErMaC's guide) but it won't import my AVS file.

Well, thanks for your suggestions/comments guys. I'm going to uninstall the AMVapp and install the old plugin to see if that works. If it doesn't then I probably need to reinstall Premiere. If anyone's got any other ideas though, by all means feel free to share them.

Thanks.

The good thing is that you wont need to reinstall Premiere as the plugins dont actually change anything to do with the program, so just remove or replace the plugin. Installing the old plugin will be fine but I'd really like to know exactly what is going on.

Do you get any error messages such as MSVC7R.dll missing or anything like that? If so, it means that you probably have an old version of windows that doesn't come with that file - it's our fault for encoding with vs.net instead of VC6. The next release will fix this.

Anyway, what I'd recommend is installing the old one and waiting to v1.1 of the plugin (and AMVapp) and trying again later. The new build of the plugin will hopefully have the necessary bugfixes and it will also have the old plugin easily available for installing incase the new one doesn't work.
