Xvid in Premiere?

[archon231]

I'm trying to make a music video, i have done a few before in Premiere (6.0) with divx 3.11+5.0 and have had little problems. But now that i use xvid, and find it very nice ^_^, i wanted to try it in Premiere. It loads fine and even plays in the tiny preview window in the imported files window. BUT it will not play in the preview window, nor will premiere re-encode it, even when using the same output as the input settings, the codec being the most obvious (as far as i know).

So, my question is; Is there a way to playback xvid and encode it through Adobe Premiere 6.0? If so, then help is GREATLY appreciated. Making a musci vid in VDub is PAIN, especially with a slow comp T_T.

I think avisynth could accept premiere plug-ins if that's the case.There was a tool called Premiere compiler plugin found here (http://math.berkeley.edu/%7Ebenrg/avisynth-premiere.html)

I'm off to test now :) I hope it works! This will be SOOO much easier ^_^.

Well that works GREAT, thank you very much btw ^_^, BUT i still am not able to preview, neither a clip (normaly and run through an .avs, already in xvid) nor the .avs itself (source being the .vobs [dvd2avi file]) So if you could help me there aswell, that'd be great ^_^. Thanx again.

P.S. Though i can not preview it, it does render (through export to movie) this is good, but i still need that constant previewability to make the music video, because of a LARGE amount of timing i will be doing, video to music, and many changes are made often.

Read zettai's and my technical guides at AMV.org here (http://www.animemusicvideos.org/guides/avtech/). We also have an updated version of the premiere AVS plugin which doesn't suck.

@ErMaC,

Are you talking about this version: http://www.ox.compsoc.net/~flend/avisynth/index.html?

Yes indeed, that's the one we have mirrored in our guide (Ian Roberts is zettai, the one who wrote it is one of his programmer friends).
