Importing Non-Standard Resolution AVI’s
I am currently working on a an on-screen tutorial video for our company. Our LMS has a maximum playback video resolution of 980×551. I would like to create my video files with a maximum resolution of 980×551, so that during the editing and compression phase of production, no scaling or pixel remapping needs to take place.
I am using Camtasia 7.0 to create my raw captures and then I’m converting the raw captures to Uncompressed AVI’s and sending them out of Camtasia so that I can edit my final project in Premiere 5.5.
However, when I try to import the Uncompressed AVI into Premiere, all that will import is the first 50 seconds of the AVI? I can play the entire 15 min AVI back in any media player I have installed; Windows Media Player, VLC, Quicktime etc. So I know the file was encapsulated correctly.
Is there a limitation in Premiere, that does not allow Non-standard resolution files to be imported? 980×551 for example?
Please help, under a very tight project timeline.
Thank you

I use Camtasia to create tutorials, and it gives the option of recording as .camrec files, or .avi files. I choose .avi and import the result directly into Premiere. Uncompressed files are very large, better to use the Techsmith codec .avi clip natively.
I’ve had no trouble working with the .avi clips in Premiere CS5.5.
As for creating a custom size, you can do that when choosing a Sequence – just modify the properties then SAVE out the custom preset. I typically use 1024×768 at 15fps.
