abobe premiere pro cs3 slow .avs preview

Hi I'm new to using avisynth and love the idea of changing the quality of footage just with a script. I have been reading some of the guides and ran into one that says that it is possible to just open the .avs file through premiere pro, but when previewing the footage it is very slow. I was wondering if it was just because I'm running a script thru adobe premiere pro cs3 or is this a common problem that happens when you open the .avs file in any adobe premiere program. I will most likely just render the videos in a lossless codec, but was wondering if anyone runs into this problem too or if there is a way to fix it from being so slow when video previewing.

Your system specs and your script would be the 2 things that could be causing the slow-down. Post them...

Well, if you leave every filter on, it will obviously be slow (it wouldn't playback in real time in a media player). While editing, you should just leave de-interlace, crop and resize filters on. Other filters, like, for instance, deen or vmtoon, will just slow you down. You gotta add them when you want to export at full quality, meaning that you just save your project, close premiere, add the filters in the scripts, re-open your project and export. Doing this way will make the editing faster.

Still, there might be some little lags even with just de-interlace/crop/resize filters, depending on your system specs. But they should be little stuff, so no real worries to care about.

comp specs:

avisynth script used:

sorry I didn't mention this earlier, Ive been up all night trying to figure this thing out.

Even though my system can handle basic avs scripts in premiere with no problem, I still find it more convenient (and more stable) to just make lossless files out of them. Lossless is really the best way to go.

By the way, it seems unlikely that your source really needs all that crap you added in your script.

yea I might just make lossless files just to be on the safe side, and yea my code is pretty long and ugly lol I might make a post later showing picture examples and the code I used so I can get some pointers and advice
