  • CS4 not importing well

    Posted by Sid Bengeloun on April 11, 2010 at 4:36 pm

    Hey Guys. Just got adobe Premiere CS4. I’ve been trying to import some footage into it for editing but it’s either a hit or miss. I thought it was my computer and or graphics card but when i tried it on my PC instead of my laptop i had the same issue. I start with a new document HDV. With 720P at 25fps. And i tried importing footag but all i get it the first frame or so.. I Rendered an animation out of carrara withe 1280 X 768.. or whatever it was and it didnt budge.. Even after i pressed enter to render work area.. I tried importing some other footage and it didn’t work.. I then tried importing other 720P stuff.. some work some didn’t. But without audio. I imported a clip of Sherlock holmes in 720P. It looked nice.. but again.. no audio.. Do i need codecs? or something. I mean all the videos that i try to import play well in VLC.. I even tried changing the extension from avi, to mov, to mp4… Nothing.. CS4 even rejected MOV, and WMV… wierd.. ok.. well any ideas folks.. I ned this up and running asap. Becuse before i start working in after effects and all that i’d like to know this is working first.. or so god help me i’ll use Vegas.. =(

    what codec are the files using? They might not be Premiere Pro compatible. Just because you can play it on VLC doesn’t mean another program can use it.

    I started a project in HDV.. 720P. And i tried importing some Video and its not working. Its stuck on the first frame only. Even When I Export. I exported an animation i did in Carrara in 720. Imported it into CS4 and it it stuck on the first frame. It’s not the only video that doesn’t work. A lot of my footage is not importing right. It’s running perfectly in VLC and even in Vegas 9. I don’t know why it’s not working. Any Help fellas. I thought it might be a Codec problem but it’s not . It should come withe Premiere. And i tried GSPOT and it said no codec needed. I’m primarily working with AVIs. I even tried changing the Extension. No luck Please. I need Help ASAP. Marketing assignment due soon.
