FLAC audio file importer for CS4 Premiere/AE/Soundbooth

[aleistercrowley]

I cant edit my posts here ?

About the Samples :

Its strange ! Bot Flac files are playing 100% fine outside Premiere in any Player.
But theres a backround noise in Adobe Premiere! But i have tested a few other full Size flac Files and theres no Noise in Premiere.
So maybe Premiere has Problems with some Files so the Samples have this noise.
I get this noise in Premiere with some other Files ( avs import)..maybe its the Plugin or maybe Premiere..

PS My English is bad, SRY!

I finally got the sample files earlier today, and noticed it had a background hiss in the 24-bit version of the file when played through Premiere, but was fine in Winamp. After messing around with it for awhile, I made an 8-bit version of the 16-bit file, and it sounded the same as the 24-bit file with the background hiss!

After that, I narrowed it down to one of the Adobe conversion functions, that converts 24-bit samples to their internal format. It seems like it's bugged, and reducing the quality of any 24-bit sample down to 8-bit. I made a workaround that no longer uses that function, and the hiss seems to be gone. Let me know if this works for you:

Same warning about needing to delete .cfa and .pek files and/or renaming and reimporting the files as last time.

Edit: Just realized you mentioned imported avisynth files having the same problem. The avisynth importer plugins (both mine and the videoeditortoolkit one) use that same problematic 24-bit conversion function, so that would explain it. I'll try to update my avs plugin later to see if it fixes that problem.

It works!
Yes, i think its the same Problem with your avs Plugin

What i generally dont like in Premiere is the internal Conversion to 32Bit! It takes so long.
When i want to export a 5.1 Project in Premiere or directly with MediaEncoder (to AC3 with Surcode Dolby Digital encoder) Adobe makes its internal Conversion to 32Bit first. It takes very long sometimes on big Files.

Is there a Way to disable it ? Theres no Option to disable it, but maybe a Plugin/Function Tweak could do it?
Thats why i prefer Sony Vegas! Vegas doesnt convert the Audio so the whole Process is "a lot faster".

There's a flag that plugins can set to stop the pre-processing, but it's basically system-wide, so it can't be set per file. I have a flag in my avs plugin to choose it, but I really, really hate the way that app works, which is why I didn't include one in this plugin. Working on a better version of it for the FLAC and AVS plugins now.

That said, here's a version with avoidAudioConform permanently set to true http://valion.net/flacimporter/FLAC%20I ... 202-DC.rar

Just popping in to say THANKS for this plugin.. (hopefully it works) now I don't have to convert my flacs to wave to use them

Well It doesn't work in CS3 on WinXP

Crashes Premiere when I attempt to import a flac file.

Any suggestions/fixes?

Can you tell me exactly what type of file you're opening (channels, bits, etc), and how it crashes? I'll try to find a computer with CS3 on it to test with.

Length: 105 seconds
Channels: 2
Bits per sample: 16
Sample Rate: 44100 Hz
File Size: 10556832 bytes
Average bitrate: 802 kbps
Compression Ratio: 56%

How: go to import file, select the flac desired, when I click Open, I get "a serious error has occurred, premiere has to close down.. etc."
