Thanks, I will try it out with the Media Encoder. I had noticed that progress bar and waited for it to finish, but it didn´t help. The codec of the .avi-file is mpeg-4 (doec id mp42)

@ Michael Hendrix: I just transferred the clip from my external harddrive to the internal one. Still the same problem.
@ Dennis Radeke: IS there a converter to convert the .avi into Panasonic P2?

I´m starting to give it up right about now. I´ve worked with Sony Vegas so far and didn´t have that kind of problems. Now I wanted to try out Adobe Premiere Pro and it can´t even get a simple .avi to work properly. I´ve imported the very same video file into Sony Vegas and it plays it perfectly – video and audio in sync, exactly how it should be.

Yes it is

Is that a hard drive? It´s located on a 2TB 3.5 inch external hard drive from Western Digital.

I´ve formated and don´t have the K-Light Codec installed anymore. So here are the specs:
Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 version 6.0.3
Windows 7 Home Premium 64Bit
Source footage: AVI
I don´t get any error message. The audio just gets out of sync. I just dragged the AVI-File into the timeline and clicked on play. That´s when I noticed it. I didn´t have any other software running – apart from a browser and some instant-messaging programs.
I don´t have any third-party codecs installed.
My computer hardware:
AsRock 890GX Extreme3
8192MB RAM DDR3-1333
Sapphire ATI Radeon HD 5850
AMD Phenom 2 X6 1055T @ 4.0 Ghz
Creative X-FI Xtreme Gamer
1 Blu-Ray disk drive, 4 external harddrives
I don´t have After Effects installed and yes, that problem also happens in the final output.
My series of steps is: Opening Adobe Premiere Pro CS6, importing the .avi-file, dragging it into the timeline and hitting the play-button.
