Adobe Premiere Pro - Sequence Problem

I found a way to make xvid files play on premiere. Just create an AviSynth script that does nothing but import them with AVISource, the script should preview all right. At least it did here.

I'm not so familiar with AviSynth, any way you could explain for me how to do it ? :)

First, you have to instal AviSynth from www.avisynth.org. Open notepad, create a new file and type this in:
Code: Select all
AVISource("C:\directory\file.avi")
, replacing C:\directory\file.avi with your file name and directory (keep the quote marks), save the file and change the extension from .txt to .avs. Now, instead of importing your AVI file in premiere, import the script. It should work now.

Not necessarily. It depends on the codec, not on the container. MPEG containers usually stand for mpeg-1 or mpeg-2 encoding, but if for example I have an XviD AVI video, and rename it to an .mpg extension, any computer with an XviD-compatible decoder installed cam play it, but most editors will cosider ther file corrupt and not open it.
