Video delay in Adobe CS4

[yup]

Hi all!

I captured for my friend VHS PAL tape. After I use some filter. AVI see very good using WMP or other, but when loaded in Premier Pro we see delay between video and audio.
AVI format video - huffyuv , audio PCM 48000 Hz.
My friend prefer Adobe CS4. I use HCEnc for encoding video and wavtoac3encoder for audio, Muxman for authoring the same file. DVD play fine without problem at standalone player.
Please explain what we made wrong.
With kind regards yup.

Do you only see delay in the timeline?
Lossless codecs are for storing, not for editing. You will not have a smooth editing experience with HuffYUV. Jumping back and forth with the playhead should also be problematic.
Consider working with proxies.

audiohominis:thanks:
Please advice codec for work with adobe CS4 . I want save quality material close to source.

yup.

Hi yup,
Think Audiohominis was using the term 'proxies' to describe
programs that sit in between other software (eg VirtualDub
in proxy mode) rather than say an internet proxy server.
However, before you try that, can I just suggest that
you recompress in VirtualDub and retry. Feed it into Avisynth
as YUY2, in VD select "Fast Recompress" and in HuffYUV
compression settings ensure that you choose ConvertToYUV
and Predict Left (fastest). If these are already your settings
or these new settings dont work, then try the proxy thing.

Be Gud :)

My friend simple load avi file to Adobe CS4 without frame server.
yup.

Glad it worked for you. Just for your information, the ConvertToYUV in
HUFFYUV settings would be skipped (does nothing), thats what the
'Fast Recompress' thing does, saving a colorspace conversion (well
actually 2 conversions, YUY2 to RGB and then back to YUY2 again).

Hi yup,

Proxy editing is when you use low-q, low-rez, more lightweight copies of your source footage during the editing process, which allow for more fluid playback. Then, upon export, the program reverts back to the original hq sources for encoding.

@audiohominis

Ok, I stand corrected :)

[yup]

My friend back to CS3 and problem solved.
yup.
