Premiere acting up

Post by -Cye- » Sat Jun 28, 2003 5:47 pm

It's really weird, but for some reason recently my Premiere has been acting up and it's getting to be a real pain. For 1 thing, sometimes for no reason scenes and the music just speed up dramatically. Another thing is that the music keeps skipping and distorting for no reason at certain points. I've had nice scenes all set up that I felt were timed perfectly, I open up Premiere and hour later, and they're totally off-beat and screwed up.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

well, at least you know that you posted this in the wrong forum, so need to tell ya!

Anyway, sounds like you're using an mp3 encoded audio file. Premiere doesn't like mp3 files. I had the same problem when I edited once with an mp3. Convert it to WAV and you should be fine.

As for the video speeding up, are you using DivX? That use to happen to me a lot when I use to edit with divx. If so, convert your files to huffyuv, it'll go much smoother.

Well I did use an mp3 file but it was not the main music file and not the one that is skipping and giving me problems, it was just a small mp3 at the end of the timeline.

Also, these are dvd rips so I'm not using divx, everything was huffyuv all the way through. However, the quality is not seeming to be that good, read below.


****Major Problems****

Ok, I thought this Premiere stuff was bad. Well, I just tried to encode what I've finished working on (about 30 seconds worth of footage) and it's all screwed up. I used TMPGenc to make an mpg1 file and for 1 thing the quality sucks. I mean, it's not horrible, but during action scenes it's grainy and stuff, the DVD's are not this way. The second part is the worst though, at certain points during the video I just get this grainy rainbow-like static for no apparent reason. The music still plays and after a couple seconds or so it will switch back to the regular vid, but this is totally unacceptable as about half of what I've finished is ruined when I try to encode. I just don't get it, the file plays fine in the preview on Premiere except for the speeding up and music skipping and stuff sometimes.

I seriously need some help, I'm very frustrated, anyone with some working knowledge of this problem I'm begging you to find this post. I don't want to have spent 30+ hours on something that is ruined or needs to be totally redone.
