    Importing .mpg file

    Posted by Michelle Bitner on November 15, 2008 at 7:06 pm

    I have renderings I need to edit. The file in a .mpg. When I try to import them Premiere says the file is not supported. I cannot open the file with Quicktime. I have to use VLC media player.

    After Effects will open the file. Is rendering it out there a solution? If so what setting should I use to maintain original quality?

    Thank you for any help.

    MPEG is a delivery format, not an editing format.
    Decompress the file, prior to import to Premiere.
    It sounds like you can decompress in AE – Video:Uncompressed, Audio, PCM WAV.
    I usually use AVS Video Converter for this.
    You also may want to open your clip with GSpot Codec Information Appliance. It gives you a great deal of information about a video file, including the codecs that are used.
