importing full frame to Premiere Pro
I an attempting to import full frame avi files into Premiere Pro but when I put them on the timeline the
system locks up. I believe it is because they are too big. I am importing them so that I can combine them and send them off to Encore to be authored to DVD. I am importing from Discreet Edit. Is there
a good compression that won’t show artifacts etc? Should I use Quicktime, and if so, what compression?Help!

Can you (in detail), post what the media properties are?

We are taking movies from a Discreet edit system and authoring DVDs using thes files. The problem is that I have been told that its best to export full frame (uncompressed) avi files to use so they have no noise or artifacts from compression. The problem is they are much to large to handle on my computer. A minute and a half is about 4GB (which is also the file limit on NT systems).
I am hoping there is a compression that maintains a good image but reduces the file size to something more managable.Help…

If you have Encore 2.0 then you can add the individual exported Discreet assets to a single timeline. This feature is unavailable in Encore 1.x.
Failing that, try the Quicktime Animation codec at Best quality. If that’s still too big, then try a DV codec (MainConcept makes a good one). If that’s too much compression (about 5:1 and using 4:1:1 color sampling) then an upgraded workstation is probably your only option.

Not sure what you mean by individual exported Discreet assets being put on a single timeline. Tell me more about that please. I have Encore 1 but am planning to upgrade to 2.0

The OP apparently wanted to combine several assets that were exported from Edit* into one asset in Premiere for use in Encore. Encore 2.0 lets you combine multiple assets in a single timeline so that you can skip an import/export step in Premiere.
