Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0 and Avisynth AVS scripts

[ad25]

Is anyone able to open .avs files in Premiere Pro 2.0? I have tried the plugin available here: http://videoeditorskit.sourceforge.net/ but it doesn't seem to work.

I have also tried using VFapiConv to create a dummy avi file and open that in PPro 2.0. This method does work, however Premiere will stop responding if I shift the focus away from it, making this method impractical to use.

The only reliable method I have found is to open the avs file in VurtualDub and save to an avi file. This sort of defeats the purpose since I have to create the intermediate file, but this is the only working method I have found.

Does anyone have any suggestions for working with avs files in Premiere Pro 2.0? Thanks in advance.

Found on the web:

"download the zip file of the plugin from

http://sourceforge.net/projects/videoeditorskit

and copy the IM-Avisynth.prm file to the Adobe/Premiere Pro 2.0/Plug-Ins/en_US/ folder. see if that works... "

I've tested, and it works! Amazing! This is kind of a big deal for me, it really allows integration of AviSynth into a Premiere workflow.

If only there was a decent plugin for avisynth that could frameserve from a premiere pro project file! How cool would that be?

I'm using this plugin in premiere 2.0 for a couple of months now without any problems. Excellent stuff :D

I use premiere 6.5 with the Matrox RT2500, but I only have TV output by the Matrox break-out-box when I use Matrox codecs.

Is there a way to:
- Hook the avs/vDub output to the the RT2500 break-out-box ?
- Hook premiere output to the Maxtrox break-out-box when using non Matrox codecs?

Thnx

I had already done this, but I assumed that since I was unable to open my test.avs file, it wasn't working.

After reading the responses here, I made a sample avs file with just ColorBars() and it works in PPro. So then I started trying different things to see what works and what doesn't. I discovered that I can open most avs files in PPro 2.0, but I can't open scripts that use MPEG2Source and don't include ConverttoRGB() or ConverttoYUY2(). So it appears that my problem is with opening YV12 avs files in Premiere Pro 2.0.

I then tried the problem scripts in other apps. They open fine in VirtualDub, but will not open in Windows Media Player. I am not very up on all of this, but I think this means that I have a problem with DirectShow and YV12.

Can anyone point me in the right direction towards resolving this problem? Thanks.

Edit: It appears that I have found the solution to my problem. After reading this thread:

I downloaded the Helix YV12 codec and installed it and everything seems to be working okay.

Plugin was reporting that my AviSynth is old...When importing AVS to Premiere Pro 2.0 there was no video, only audio.
I've just installed AviSynth 2.5.7 (January 7, 2007) - problem is solved. I thought it might be helpful if someone confront the same issue.
