Premier Pro and Matrox AVIs
I am a new Premier Pro user. I graduated from a Matrox RT2500 system with Prem 6.5. Here is what I’d like to do. I want to import matrox AVI’s captured with Matrox Media Tools into Premier Pro. I capture video and audio to different drives and the issue I’m having is I can’t get the audio files to import into Pro WITH the video. In Prem 6.5 as long as your audio drive was properly selected in your settings the wave files came in with the video every time. In Pro I have selected the audio drive as my target for capture but I don’t know how exactly to make sure that Pro looks there for audio when I import.
Of course if I capture from within Pro everything is fine but here is why I want to use MMT. I’m a huge fan of auto-scene splitting. Pro will do this but I have found that Pro WITHOUT FAIL will stop capturing anywhere from 2 minutes to 30 minutes into a tape. In short I can’t rely on it. MMT never had this problem and so I’d like to stick with it! But if I can fix the scene splitting problem needless to say I’d capture within PRo.
So really there are two questions here. How do I get Pro to import Matrox AVIs with AUDIO. And/OR can the scene splitting issue be fixed in Pro?
Thanks.

Try the File Converter that you may download from this private site:

Alternatively, if you capture with Scenalyzer (www.scenalyzer.com) and go to Options you will have the choice between most possible formats of DV-AVI clips to capture with time-stamp or optical scene detection.

This was the matrox tools on the RT2500 that allowed the files to import properly. Since you’ve switched to running on Software only, your machine no longer recognizes what the RT2500 did to your footage. When the RT2500 captures it tags the WAV file it co-captures with the Video. This way, so long as they’re on the drive they were captured on, the RT2500 will recognize the footage as having a matching audio file to go with the AVI that you import. This was an issue they fixed with the RTX100 card. Until you either are finished with your legacy footage or you rerender it out under your new format, you WILL have to use the footage as seperated Audio and Video files. It’s just the way it is with older Matrox footage.
Good luck!
