  Importing HDV footage into After Affects 7.0

  Posted by Thomas Santopolo on February 5, 2006 at 9:50 pm

  When I try to import a HDV file captured in adobe premiere 2.0 I get a message “After Effects Error: An Unspecified AVI or Directshow Error Occured (1). (53::33)”. I get it when importing a .M2T or .MPEG(Premiere 2) format. I can import a HDV saved in the cineform .AVI format. Any Ideas?

  After being in hold for over an hour Adobe tech support said this is to be expected with Mpeg files and After affects 7! I even installed a raid to no prevail. The only HD I can edit is Cineforms HDV AVI and uncompressed AVI which is a massive file. Here is my machine setup;
  Dual Xeon 3.6 Dell Precision 470, XT800 PCI express video card, Windows XP pro service pack 2, 2 Gigs of ram, 3 Drives – 160 sata, 300 IDE, 250SATA(used forvideo edit), External raid card with (2) 300Gig drives in raid 0. I have on my system Adobe Production Studio, Edius 3.61, Office 2003, Nero 7, Cyberloink power DVD, Quicktime 7 Pro.
  Any help?
