So...sloooow

Postby zerotonin » Fri Jul 14, 2006 7:46 am

I'm a total noob at this video editing hobby. Please bear with me.

I'm currently making an Azumanga video from MKV files, using an avisynth script and Premiere.

When previewing my video, there's a huge gap between audio and video. The more files I import, the larger the gap becomes. How do I speed up preview playback?

Also, how do I get rid of all the Matroska icons that popup on my taskbar? Those, I think, are killing my computer dead.

I'm using a 1.6 Ghz Pentium 4 with 512 RAM BTW.

i think your going about this the wrong way - if you insist on using your current method then i would sugest using the bait and switch technique.

extract the video tracks from your mkv files using MKVextract, and load the new AVIs instead. That should eliminate the tray icons. Explain the "audio gap" problem better, you didn't give enough information to help identify the problem. Post your project settings (framerate and such) and the AVS script settings.

You are editing compressed files that are not intended to be used for editing. Its going to be painful as hell.

You need to convert them to an editing-friendly codec such as Huffyuv or Lagarith.

Zarx is correct, I had to first Demux and remove all subs from the MKV, then I imported into Vdub and uncompressed the video to AVI (well, it's still looked pitsy but it's a start). Worked, but still it was slooooooooooooow on my AMD 1800+. But good thing it was just a 1 minute clip I needed to do. Then with the magic of AVISynth, scrubbed and filtered the hell out of it, compressed it and BAM! An AMV.
