when i added a clip to the timeline, i pressed play. it works, up until the point it gets to my second clip, then it freses for a little while, sometimes with the audio still playing, some times not.the audio also skips sometimes when playing with my video file. could it be my video file, or is it the program? i torrented it (but hey, who hasent) and its worked fine, no viruses or anything. this is my first amv with adobe premire, ive made 43 other ones with movie maker

If you torrented it, then it's going to be in a codec intended for distribution and not editing (i.e. DivX, XviD, h.264, etc.). You will need to transcode it to be in a more editable format (HuffYUV or Lagarith are the optimum choices).

I suggest a combination of AviSynth and VirtualDubMod for that task. There's a nifty banner about this somewhere around here...I'll see if I can find it...

the file format is mpeg, they were origonaly mp4s, and i converted them with any video converter. what exactly is the codex?
