Matt Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 hi, I have adobe premiere 6.5 loaded onto my pc, and I need to chop up and re-edit a film I have on my computer for a gig we are planning. the only drawback is the file is a .avi file and adobe refuses to load it. what I was wondering if there is some sort of patch fix to solve this or am I stymied?

henny Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 hi although it may have a .ave extshion it dose not mean anything. it most likely is encoded as mpeg witch not much will edit unless its mpeg with full I-Frames. which I'm guessing not since adobe wont eat it henny hi, I have adobe premiere 6.5 loaded onto my pc, and I need to chop up and re-edit a film I have on my computer for a gig we are planning. the only drawback is the file is a .avi file and adobe refuses to load it. what I was wondering if there is some sort of patch fix to solve this or am I stymied?

paulears Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 just out of curiosity, I've just tried loading in a 2.5gb avi file into 6.5 - never normally use avi's, certainly not of this size. Works fineNot much help, but does point to a file error rather than a file type issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinmonk Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 Stupid question, but does the file play in a player on that machine?if not then it maybe a codec issue, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted January 6, 2005 Author Share Posted January 6, 2005 error message is "Unable to open that file. Files uses an unsupported compressionn format." then gives the files path. note this happens every time I try to load any .avi file and that error message is what leads me to believe there is a patch fix or something... and yes, the files does play on this machine, it play on every machine I have tried it on. oh yes and I have tried loading it on a different machine with 6.5 on (not from my cd) and it comes up with the same error Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 Matt, The poblem is that Premiere doesn't support that compression format. :) Unfortunatly you need more software, try importing it into after effects and rendering it into a format that Premiere can understand (If all else fails native DV normally works). After Effects isn't that expensive and is very useful. James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
