Premier CS3 Questions at DVinfo.net

Denny Kyser · April 14th, 2009, 08:46 AM

Ok I have the Adobe Creative Suite CS3 and pretty happy with Premier but have a few questions.

I should also add that I am very new to this still and have Cineform HD for Premier, in case these are part of the problem/solution.

I record to a 160 GB portable Hd and love it, but the .m2t files have to be converted to Cineform .avi files before Premier can add them to the project. I thought .m2t files could be dropped right into the project.

Am I doing something wrong, or do the files indeed need to be converted.

Also for rendering to flash, what do you recomend to do this. (flv)

Thanks

CS3 supports M2T files.

Brian I thought it did, however when I double click to add to the project, navagate to where my M2T files are and select even a small file, it says Premier encountered an error and could not import the file.
If I convert it, the file imports fine !@#$%

If you set up the project using a Cineform preset, they need to be converted to .avi. If you set up a native Premiere m2t project, they go straight in.
