  • premiere cs 3 codec support

    Posted by Richard Altman on September 28, 2007 at 7:50 pm

    does premiere cs 3 have any known plug ins that will support mkv, variable bit rate mp3 and basically allow any sort of avi to be imported? are there any renaming tricks like how you can rename .vob to .m2v and then premiere will allow importing. Just wondering and how many people are running premiere cs 3 on regular one core cpus?

    thanks

    The best chance of getting these types of files into Premiere is to convert them into an acceptable format using a programme such as Procoder. You’ll need to research the accepted source files for Procoder to check that they are supported, however.

    thanks, for the suggestion. I find it good and bad that premiere is this finicky, seriously, who cares, why not just let there be open source updating for these plug ins, or does there have to be a video editor devoted specifically to avi file recombinations, mpg, divx, xvid, mkv etc, and if anyone can suggest an editor that natively takes such files, let me know. Of course the finished projects have to be outported to acceptable premiere formats, as well, of course. thanks in advance again.

    There is a “nether” world of video at doom9.net

    I think the issue is that the file names you mentioned are types that are for exhibiting and transporting finished projects as opposed to working with them for editing.

    Each format has their purpose and is for either recording/editing or exhibiting. Most of the formats such as Xvid etc are heavily compressed and are not suitable for editing which is why editing programmes don’t tend to support them.

    I did not intend to be rude or run you off and apologize if you are offended.

    Many of the professionals here dont have as much experience working with highly compressed video or reverse engineering DVDs like those folks. That is the nether world of video.

    Clearly there is a need for an alternative editing program more open source in nature. One for editing already finished content, cause you know what, there’s too much (nothing new under the sun) “original” content. Too much capturing of everyday with super intricate amounts of resolution. Anyone can be a professional, the course is set out, its much harder being a hobbyist. I make video collage, I only use “presentation” codecs. There’s has to be other people like me, PC, premiere, APPLE, Final Cut….Linux? Perhaps this is the platform for a basic editor that accepts all codecs, is more than a splitter, but isn’t pressured by broadcast standards and … such. Given the glut of original content passing for entertainment on tv, certainly the next wave of culture has to focus on the need to be able to edit.
