Premiere Chop

Postby bluepixel » Fri Jun 28, 2002 11:45 pm

I just made a video using premiere, except that in the playback and when I render it it is choppy...some frames will lag behind. This confuses the crap out of me because when I play the original source straight from premiere it works just fine! The original is an mpg, the new is DiVX AVI. Any help?

Premiere and Divx don't get along. Don't export to divx and don't try using divx as your clip source. As for the mpeg source, I found that premiere 5.x doesn't seem to be able to handle mpeg correctly.

ZeWrestler may not have problems, but many other people out there do. Therefore, it's best to not export directly to DivX - even though a few people do it regularly, doesn't it make more sense to listen to the huge number of people who don't do it? :-)

My source isn't divx, it's mpeg, and it will be choppy even while previewing it, but it plays fine when i just scrub. It seems like its hanging up on keyframes, but I'm not even keyframing! This is ONLY a problem with Premiere, I haven't had anything similar on any other software. Even we I try no DivX it still doesn't work.

I had this SAME problem a while back although no one was able to help me since no one understood the problem.
It's like it pauses while your previwing it in the monitor yet when you play the original it moves smoothly yet as soon as you cut it into the Timeline and preview it's choppy as hell.
This is a bad thing to happen wheny ou try to time it.
I scrapped the project and I won't go back to it till someone figures out what the hell was wrong with it.

Sorry to hear it happened to you too.

What footage is it? Mine was "On Your Mark".

export

You DO have huffyuv right?

It's a good for export before compression... It's lossless. Sometimes I end up with BETTER looking footage than the original when I'm using it... :shock:

Then you compress your 1.9G + movie export using either Nandub, XviD (virtualdub), or TMPGEnc...

Or you can go the frameserver route, however, if you do, TMPGEnc won't handle manual keyframe insertion well.

You DO have a 40+gig harddrive right? Making AMVs needs BIG sources. For the record, you can hate me cause I edit exclusively in DivX and if you watch "Gimme the Beat", one can say downloaded footage does NOT suck... No, Premiere of mine doesn't crash while editing DivX and it don't get choppy either. ^_^

Omni...the whole problem is that it's not in the EXPORTING or the Importing it's in the editing. If you open up you will notice different things have different names. One is the Monitor which allows you to preview what you have in your timeline. THAT'S where the choppiness occurs never mind exporting it's still in the editing faze.

As I said, premiere 5.x (I don't have 6.x yet) really doesn't like mpegs for some reason. I suggest you either frameserve the mpegs through something like AVISynth, or transcode them to regular AVI files using TMGEnc, and then editing with those.

Just so you guys know: Encoding the mpg into an AVI DID fix my problem...thanks! Of course, now that I look back on it WITHOUT chop my "perfect timing cuts" are about 15 frames off...oh well, back to work. :roll:
