1. Re: Premiere Pro CS4 problems with very large AVI file
John T Smith Nov 8, 2011 1:27 PM (in response to reindeer4)Report back with the codec details of your file, use the programs below
.
For PC http://www.headbands.com/gspot/ or http://mediainfo.sourceforge.net/en
For Mac http://mediainfo.massanti.com/
.
Once you know exactly what it is you are editing, report back with that information... and your project setting, and if there is a red line above the video in the timeline, which indicates a mismatch between video and project

2. Re: Premiere Pro CS4 problems with very large AVI file
Ann Bens Nov 8, 2011 2:40 PM (in response to reindeer4)CS4 is probably chocking on the uncompressed avi.
Is it possible to convert to an avi with say the lagarith codec?
This will give a much smaller file.
Avoid staying connected with DL, export instead.
As for the RAM, Premiere wont adress more then 4 gig.

5. Re: Premiere Pro CS4 problems with very large AVI file
reindeer4 Nov 9, 2011 1:12 AM (in response to John T Smith)John - thanks for that link. I downloaded the Windows program there and followed the instructions to make a BAT file that converts the encoded AVI to mp4 - and Premiere Pro was then able to import the video portion of the AVI without any problem, though the Audio did not come in.
Tried to do Dynamic Link with AFX (both in CS4) and ran into problems, and not sure if exporting media worked right either. Too tired now. I'll try again in the morning and post back. Thanks for the help.
