  • Lossless codec in Premiere Pro?

    Posted by Balazs Frank on November 15, 2012 at 9:20 pm

    Hello,

    I am using a screen recorder app that saves videos into its own proprietary format. Then I would like to convert it using any free lossless codec to edit the video in Premiere.

    I installed both the free Lagarith and MSU lossless codecs.

    The screen recorder converted the videos into these formats easily, however when I try to import any of them into Premiere Pro CS6 (in Windows 7), I get this message: “Unsupported format or damaged file”

    What is wrong?

    Should I try any other free lossless codec? If yes, which one work in Premiere Pro CS6?

    Please help.

    I know Lagarith works fine in CS6 since I use it a lot. I would question the software that created the Lagarith file, maybe it is corrupt or not configured correctly. What are the export settings? Frame size, frame rate, etc.?

    Thanks

    Well, the YouRecorder screen recorder save its files into itw own yrv formats.

    There are no settings for the Lagarith codec, all I can is just to select it as a destination encoder.

    Any idea?

    Then Start conversion, the converted file is fine. However, VLC player does not play it.

    But Premiere Pro CS6 does not import at all…

    Any idea what frame size and frame rate you are recording the screen at? Maybe you need to use a video-sized frame, such at 720p (1280×720).
    No idea with the shareware-type software, they make their own rules sometimes.

    I record at 30 fps, 720p.

    I found Lagarith encoder in the Adobe Media Encoder, saw its possible settings.

    What if I adjust settings here, then re-try the settings in YouRecorder?
    Any other idea?

    Also, should the converted video be played by e.g. Windows Media Player or VLC?
    In VLC it does not play at all, WMP instantly freezes after getting some weird colorful stripes on the whole screen.
