Premiere not paying some files?!
Hi guys,
I think this may be a relatively simple issue but i’m just having so much trouble trying to find a solution. I’ve played with some possible reasons but they don’t seem to be helping me any!
I have loaded in several different kinds of avi (and mov) and all with standard codecs but they won’t play in my preview window once loaded onto the time line. I can scrub through them fine and see the frames but pressing play doesn’t do anything. There is an ‘X’ inside a box in the top left corner of the preview window. I thought it possibly could be a resource problem but even when i load a 1mb avi in i still get that ‘X’ and can’t play through the timeline.
Can anyone help! I much appreciate any suggestions anyone has. Thanks
regards,
Nick. -

These video clips you’ve loaded does not match your project setting and need to be rendered. Perhaps the RT rendering is not possible with some odd frame rate… files… (e.g. MPG, which Prem does not support, technically). Therefore, you must convert them first. Can you try to convert them within Premiere to an DV AVI file first and then reimport them back?

Hi Perry,
That was one of the first things i did! I took 3seconds of the footage that was having issues and rendered it out in default Microsoft DV avi. Tested it in an external player (Win media player) and worked fine. Reimported that file back into a new project and still the same issue!
Any other suggestions? Could it be a settings problem or one of my other ideas about resources?
Cheers,

Did you have any problem with other AVIs? When you say it won’t play, you mean the play head won’t move at all?
