Premier Pro CS4 won't play AVI
Part of a project I'm currently working is to extract interesting parts of a twenty minute, sit in front of a camera and talk to it sort of footage. This is DV captured to AVI. I thought I'd like to use a PP feature to transcribe the speech into meta-data so I can search it. I fired up PP and alas it won't play the AVI files. The audio plays but the video stays at a single frame. I can scrub the video and have different frames appear but it won't play.
What drives me crazy is Bridge plays the file with no problem. Any clues? I'm running on Windows 7 Pro - 64bit with 24G of RAM and plenty of scratch disk etc. so I'm sure it's not a resource problem.

How was it captured and what codec is used inside the AVI. Use G-Spot to identify it. What sequence settings are used?

I didn't know about G-Spot. I'll give it a try. This could be helpful since I was handed the footage with no other information. So, I'm guessing I'll need to transcode. Correct? Ok, I ran G-Spot (that was easy). Here's what it told me: FILE_SIZE 1,327,355,100 CONT_AUDIO_STREAM_COUNT 1 CONT_BASETYPE AVI(.AVI) CONT_BYTES_MISSING 0 CONT_INTERLEAVE_ALIGN CONT_INTERLEAVE_PRELOAD CONT_INTERLEAVE_TIME CONT_SUBTYPE Multipart OpenDML AVI (2 parts), CONT_TOTAL_BITRATE 0 VIDEO_ASPECT_CONVERT_AVI1 VIDEO_ASPECT_CONVERT_AVI2 VIDEO_ASPECT_CONVERT_CVD1 VIDEO_ASPECT_CONVERT_CVD2 VIDEO_ASPECT_CONVERT_DVD1 VIDEO_ASPECT_CONVERT_DVD2 VIDEO_ASPECT_CONVERT_SVCD1 VIDEO_ASPECT_CONVERT_SVCD2 VIDEO_ASPECT_CONVERT_VCD1 VIDEO_ASPECT_CONVERT_VCD2 VIDEO_ASPECT_SOURCE_MATCH VIDEO_ASPECT_TYPE_NTSC VIDEO_ASPECT_TYPE_PAL VIDEO_BITRATE 12056 VIDEO_CODEC_NAME Motion JPEG VIDEO_CODEC_STATUS Codec(s) are Installed VIDEO_CODEC_TYPE MJPG VIDEO_DAR 1.333 VIDEO_DURATION 13:52.025 VIDEO_FIELDS_PER_SEC VIDEO_FRAME_COUNT 24961 VIDEO_FRAMES_PER_SEC 30.000 VIDEO_H264 VIDEO_MPEG2 VIDEO_MPEG2_3X2 VIDEO_MPEG2_BFF VIDEO_MPEG2_I_L VIDEO_MPEG2_PPF VIDEO_MPEG2_PROG VIDEO_MPEG2_TFF VIDEO_MPEG4 VIDEO_MPEG4_BVOP VIDEO_MPEG4_GMC VIDEO_MPEG4_NVOP VIDEO_MPEG4_QPEL VIDEO_PAR 1.000 VIDEO_PICS_PER_SEC 30.000 VIDEO_QF 1.308 VIDEO_SAR 1.333 VIDEO_SIZE_X 640 VIDEO_SIZE_Y 480 AUDIO_BITRATE 706 AUDIO_BITRATE_TYPE AUDIO_CHANNEL_COUNT 1 AUDIO_CODEC PCM Audio AUDIO_CODEC_STATUS No Codec Required AUDIO_MPEG_STREAM_ID AUDIO_MPEG_SUBSTREAM_ID AUDIO_SAMPLE_RATE 44100

You need either the MainConcept or Morgan M-JPEG codec.

But I'm still puzzled as to why Bridge can play no problem but Premier can't. Premier has to use its own set of codecs independent of what else is installed? Another thing that puzzles me is I can scrub frame by frame but can't play. Is is possible the codec being used is simply too slow on my 8 core machine to play in real time?

Playing and editing are different beasts with different requirements.
You can play in a house, but to build a house is a different matter. |
