Can you ask avisynth to encode to a specific codec?

[pdbowling]

Hi all.

I've got an avisynth script that does everything I need except the fact that Premiere Pro won't read it.

I've got Premiere using HuffYuv codec and wondered if I can tell avisynth to use this codec when encoding. I have Tons of drive space so I will be OK with the massive output. All my other files are huffyuv so I thought keeping the trend would be smart.

The script I have is pasted below. Does anyone know a function/command/available plugin/ that I can use in this script?

Thanks everyone.

Do you have the Premiere Pro AVISynth import plugin (http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=105017) properly installed? If so, Premiere should take your AVISynth script without you having to encode it to an AVI at all.

The AVISynth output is always uncompressed video; you can open this up in any video editing program (e.g. VirtualDubMod) and save it in any format you like, such as HuffYUV. I assume Premiere should work as well. My guess is that the reason you have trouble opening the file is because you don't have a YV12 codec installed... there is information on fixing this in the YV12 FAQ on this forum.(But you could give us the error message...)

Wonderful you guys. My mistake was failing to mention that GKnot was using XVid to make my file. When I switched over to using VDubMod to call the avs file, I got every compression option in the GKnot Codec pack and then some. I should be A.OK now. THanks
