  AVI won’t play in monitor. Image size problem?

  Posted by Chris Jones on June 4, 2008 at 10:29 am

  Hi,

  I have Premiere 6.0

  I have converted 9 VOB files to avi and imported them into premiere.
  When I add them to the timeline, they won’t play – the monitor merely displays a cross in the top left hand corner.

  The frame size of my premiere movie is 720 x 576, but the frame size of the clips that I have imported is 720 x 544 – is this the problem and if so how can I remedy it?

  Many thanks in advance for your help

  The size shouldn’t be a problem. Usually when your source video or audio doesn’t preview in Premiere it’s a codec issue. AVI is like a container, it’s the codecs inside that count.
  Unless your editing DV or HD, it’s usually a good idea to decompress your source before import – Codec: None or Uncompressed.
