Premier 6.0 problems...

Postby BAI_Design » Sat Aug 26, 2006 2:49 am

I rescenlty decided to install my old Premier 6.0 onto my XP machine though I have run into a small problem when editing. The monitor window does not give any video output while trailing over the time line (just shows an X in the top corner), nor does the timeline's video track display thumbnails.

I have also tried the AVS plugin with no avail.
But in the end the only place any video is displayed is within the project window's quick preview.

Any ideas on how this may be fixed? Could Premier be conflicting with the ffdshow codec's?

How's the video encoded?

I had the same problem and then I heard that putting this file you want throught Virtual Dub with DiVX 4.5 or more compressor and saved this as .avi. After that I could normally see that.

the X in the corner means you need to render a preview for that portion of the timeline.

Thanks for the help so far but I seem to have found away around this last night. Just loaded the videos through an AVS script. Though I still can't figure out why it crashes when loading plain mpeg-2/1 files and some xvid encodes directly through premier, it never did this when I used it in windows 98.

I've heard tell that there are some conflicts with Premiere 6.0 and Win XP. Not sure what they are precisely, but you may be experiencing one of those issues. Mine doesn't give me much trouble, except for the occasional, erroneous crash, which I blame on my miniscule amount of RAM. I always use HUFFYUV encoded .AVI's though, and that seems to be pretty user friendly.
