importing small avi
I have a Canon Power Shot400. It shoots video at 320×240. My Premier Pro won’t let me import it, says the compression rate is not right. Any thoughts?

Use Elements or a similar consumer oriented program or get a decent DV tape based video camcorder.

I have top-of-the-line miniDV cameras. But sometimes I’m stuck with just the digital camera and want to video something. How does Elements work?

You don’t need Elements. You need a $20 Motion JPEG (MJPEG) codec from Morgan Multimedia or MainConcept.

“top-of-the-line miniDV cameras”, which is?

Canon XL1s and Canon GL. Not bad, huh? But I’m not asking about them. I simply want to get my cheesy little vacation video into my timeline. Got any ideas?

Lee,
I was just curious. XL1 is very good, of course. As far as getting video into PPro2, try using something like QuickTime or Super Encoder to convert your 320×240 videos into .avi, much easier to handle with Premiere. Keep in mind, however, don’t expect any great resolution/nice looking product that is anywhere near your GL and XL’s.
Best wish,

If you are not willing to spend the $20 I recommended, then no, there are no other good solutions.

Here is a $10 codec, Canon still cams use Mjpeg files for video like Steven mentioned.

$10 for a codec!
virtual dub and VLC player are both free and can convert these videos for Premiere.
Hope that helps…
