New Premiere/AE Avisynth plugin

[Wilbert]

Just wanted to know that Valion is working on a new Premiere/AE Avisynth import plugin:

Sweet!

I used the old Debugmode frameserver all the time with Premiere CS3, and it's nice to have a working equivalent for CS4 x64.

Erm, this isn't like Debugmode Frameserver. This is like the AVS import filter. Unless I misunderstand?

[Zarxrax]

Yes, debugmode frameserver lets you get your video OUT of premiere. This lets you get it INto premiere :)

[Blue_MiSfit]

Oh right. :P

I got my terminology mixed up. I had definitely used the AviSynth import plugin as well :)

Does debugmode work with CS4?

~MiSfit

[um3k]

No, it doesn't. :(

I've used this plugin successfully to import AVS files directly into APPCS4.

Cheers.

[smok3]

no luck with premiere cs3.

[um3k]

I think the old AVS import plugin is compatible with CS3.

[smok3]

um3k: any links?

[smok3]

tnx for link, cs3 crashes with this.

[Valion]

tnx for link, cs3 crashes with this.


smok3, can you give me some more details about the crashing? I've tried it on the CS3 suite here and haven't seen any problems so far. (or at least any problems that are unique to CS3)

[smok3]

the crash was for neurons version,

the other returns unknown filetype (as if the plugin was not recognized, i have even tried different plugin folders...)

i will try on more than one machine when i find some time (two are using production suite cs3, one is with production suite cs2)

[Valion]

Could you take a look at the end of C:\Documents and Settings\mike\Application Data\Adobe\Premiere Pro\4.0\Plugin Loading.log and see what it says?

If it says something like "The library could not be loaded.", you'll be the third person to have seen that error. I still haven't been able to reproduce it here on three different computers though, which is kind of driving me insane. :)

I'll check through my compilation settings later to see if anything sticks out as odd.

[smok3]

i will (not before 28.1).

Quick testing shows it working in After Effects CS3 on Win XP x64 when the plugin is placed in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe After Effects CS3\Support Files\(Media Core plug-ins)\en_us." And, as expected, the output of the AVS script needs to be RGB24 or RGB32. If it outputs YUY2 or YV12, the file will import but shows all black.

I'll take a look at this. It should automatically be appending a ConvertToRGB32() to the end of scripts that aren't outputting RGB32 already. Unless Avisynth is lying to me. :)

Nevermind...User error.

I did a simple script with ColorBars(720,480). It showed up as black so I figured it was because it was RGB32 and had an empty alpha channel. I thought I changed the After FX interpretation to ignore Alpha and it was still black, so I "assumed" that AviSynth was outputting YUY2 and caused the error...without actually checking what format was coming from AviSynth...and then...I actually didn't change the interpretation....

It's all good here. Sorry about that.

I've been waiting so long for it::)
