  Cineform AVI Importing Problem

  Posted by Michael Gurevich on September 13, 2010 at 6:42 pm

  Hi,

  I am experiencing something I’ve not seen yet and am not sure how to get around or through it. If you do, please let me know.

  I’ve converted a bunch of AVCHD footage with Cineform NeoScene. Then I created a Premiere project and placed all of those clips on the timeline. The original footage was 1920×1080. I rendered out the entire timeline to 1440×1080 to match the resolution of the footage I’ll be mixing it with. Media Encoder produced one file that’s about 43 minutes long, encoded with the Cineform Codec, wrapped in AVI.

  I can play this file with Media Player Classic, and it works just fine and contains what seems to be all of the footage from all of the clips. But when I import the 43 minute clip into Premiere CS4, it only plays the first 43 seconds of it. The preview window only shows 43 seconds. When I drag it onto the timeline, only 43 seconds. I can’t expand the clip beyond that. There seems to be nothing I can do to use the entire clip.

  I ran MediaInfo on the clip and here are the results:

  I am not sure what to do. Please share your thoughts.
