Which formats Premiere accepts? Video not visible in source and output windows.

Is your audio mono or stereo? I know later versions of Premiere allows native editing on a large number of formats and their consumer codecs, including MPEG-2. Not sure about CS3. I’d imagine it does.

Thanks Abhishek Kumar for replying..My audio is in stereo….I managed to run my film project in Premiere in one of my friend’s machine. Its running perfectly on my machine and my friends’ machine but still I can’t figure out why I cant run my Premiere film project on the second machine I tried earlier…

Tom, I noticed you work with Adobe After Effects. A colleague of mine was trying to help me solve a problem I’m having with importing an HD Quicktime video into my Premiere Pro. All I get is a green screen. He then tried importing the same Quicktime video into After Effects and got the same results. The video was downloaded from a photo/video collections service. Ever heard of this problem?

Please give me more details what is the format (size) and codec (compression) of the media. Can you give me a link to where you got i?
It sounds like the Adobe software doesnt know what kind of media it is.
So Im guessing its codec related. But getting the info might help clarify things.
