What do you think I have a bad install of? the update? or CS3 to begin with?

Whichever the case, what does that even mean? How can an install go bad??

What settings should I be using for correct output?

Here is my new guess. Your default application is choking on the .avi. Try this:

Export again, but open the .avi in Premiere, not in Media Player or QT.

For Randy
 
Hi Randy -

I tried to email you through the site, but your settings won't allow me to. I have a project going in Hawaii that I'd like to talk to you about. Will you drop me a note? You can contact me via email through the site from my profile.

Apologies for hijacking the thread.

Thanks,
Zac

Well I'll be a monkey's uncle.

Ok, so there is video there. It wouldn't play on Windows Media Player and it wouldn't play on VLC, but importing it back into the same project that created it works fine, except that there is a black frame in there for some reason (dropped??) and it needs to be rendered!

I was so excited about this update and now it's just a downer for me.

Hi John,

I am still thinking there is another issue on your system. You should be able to play mp4's smoothly without render, same for avi's. I would suggest an uninstall of Premiere and a reinstall.

Aaaaagain.....

I must have done that so many times...

I don't really understand that whole process. How can an install be "bad"?

1.- Import all your clips to Premiere.

2.- Select the parts that you will use from each one of them on the source monitor window, NOT on the timeline.

3.- Save the resulting clips with a different name.

4.- Under the project menu, go to project manager and make sure that the following options are selcted. Create a new trimmed project and EXCLUDE UNUSED CLIPS and rename media files to match clip names.

5.- Click OK and Voila ! New project only with the footage that you actuallly need.

Thanks Jake, I'll try this.

The first thing I noticed was the clips can be imported from the SxS card but if you move the clips off the SxS card into a directory on your hard drive then try to import them you get the "Unsupported Media" error message.

I wrote this earlier on:

"When I import the entire BPAV folder, Premiere gives a not supported message with ony the .smi file selected as not allowed. Press OK. All of the .mp4 files should import perfectly. When the individual .mp4's are selected, I get no error message."

Are you sure it is not just the .smi file that is showing as unsupported? If it is, just ignore it and press OK. It should not be imported.

If you own Premiere CS3, just update from within the program and it will install the new update.
