Hi Brent,

Maybe your system is having a hard time chewing your 1920×1080 HD resolution to a 40min clip. My suggestion is to export your timeline to an NTSC DV clip (40mins is roughly 10gb)before you convert it to DVD format–or before you import it to encore. DV clips are easier to manage than h264.

Hope it helps…

August 11, 2009 at 8:41 am in reply to: Premiere distorting my imported MPEG files

Editing mpeg clips in the timeline is a bad idea. It seems Premiere wasnt able to properly index you mpeg. Best is to convert your flvs to uncompressed AVI first before you use them in premiere. I use either procoder or tmpeg to do this.

Hope it helps…

Hi Jonas,

Have you tried using the highlight render area bar, render only the portion of the clips you need inside premiere, to NTSC DV? If you have CS4, the Media Encoder will render the clips for you as you prepare the other clips for rendering as well.

Hope it helps…

Yup, the H264 will really strain your CPU in the timeline. To preserve the quality of the clips, what I do is convert them to uncompressed AVI before importing them to timeline. The problem with this solution is hard drive space and speed. My 1TB hd seem to handle it nicely, better than choppy video playback from h264 files.

You can try this:
https://www.free-codecs.com/download/Codec_Pack_All_In_1.htm

then download and install the codecs from microsoft website:
1. windows media codecs
2. windows media components for quicktime

The codecs from microsoft will overwrite whatever rogue codecs you might have previously installed, which is good. Also, try updating your media player and directx. I believe Premiere is using Directshow for playback so fixing these will likely fix your premiere as well.

Hope this helps you.

You have a fast system indeed. I guess it must be a codec problem if the file is AVI. Although, if you are working on HD footage or uncompressed avi, the hard drive must be having a hard time keeping up with the data rate. My quad core 1 TB hd system couldnt keep up until I use RAID.

I agree with them, reinstalling your codecs should fix the problem.

This could be a lot of things: slow CPU, slow hard drive, mismatched project settings,codec or video card problems, etc. What are your specs?

Hi,

What kind/type of file are you playing in Premiere? Are the files playing in other media players? If its an AVI, you’re having a codec problem indeed.
