v.7 with Vista (video problem)

Postby StarMasayume » Thu Sep 06, 2007 8:44 pm

I was happy when adobe premiere pro seemed to install with no problem, but now there's some glitch with the video playback that I can't figure out.

Images, audio and such import fine. And any video clips I import I can do the "preview play" and it WORKS, but when I drag it into my timeline the entire thing is black with garbled static stuff.

Anyone have any ideas? Please? :cry:

Have something new to add. This may not be directly a problem with Premiere. I tried creating a DVD through MY DVD 9 (Roxio) and noticed when trying to add the video, most files were X-ed out and non-selectable. The few videos that I WAS able to select, I tried to open in Premiere and drag into the timeline and THEY worked fine.

This is only like 2% of my videos though. I can't figure out which format or why only those few will work. All the videos play just fine on my computer when viewing them. =/ Doe this have anything to do with the codec or what? Has anyone else had this program? :?: Any help or ideas appreciated.

I've heard that only the new CS3 stuff works with vista.

I searched around on here and it seems that 6.5 and earlier have the most problems. And seeing as this problem seems oddly connected to what I can import in MyDVDCreator, I can't say that it's Premiere's fault.

The codecs are anything and everything. I was just testing around to see what videos would actually work. I know one or two of the dozens of avi videos I have seemed to work and an Mpeg3. Only about two of over 100 anime episodes would work, though 1 out of 3 of my music videos/promo videos seem to work.

Thanks for responding :)

The rule of thumb is that typically, Premiere will not be able to handle most videos compressed with codecs like Xvid and Divx. Try converting the video clips to a lossless codec like huffyuv or lagarith and see if that works. I don't own Vista and I don't plan on upgrading for a LONG time so I don't know how Premiere Pro will work...


(P.S. It's Premiere Pro 1.0. Premiere Pro 7.0 is what the pirated Premiere Pros are called.)

CS2 programs work with vista. I still don't recommend vista. I tested it for a week on one of my machines and just had problems with all sorts of things.

Really? I didn't think it had any problems with it before.

Which program should I use to convert them to huffyuv? It's been so long and I haven't had the chance to get the same programs back on my computer yet XD
