Ok im stuck. and i need a bit of help


Ive captured footage from my camera at 720X576 with huffuv 2.1.1 using the software that came with my capture card

this plays perfectly in windows media player and looks fine (albeit interlacing artifacts which i presumably get rid of in premiere when i deinterlace it)

Ive tried all sorts of things in premiere

ie when i create a new project i click custom settings rather than the dv presets and i click video for windows and i set the sound to mono (PCM 44.1) and i set video to D1 PAL etc etc but when i import the clip it plays in the second window on the right garbled and in wierd colour (sound is fine)

i set the rendering codec in the intial settings to either none or huffy but neither makes any difference.

Im stuck


When i capture to uncompressed avi and pcm sound adobe works well (but these give me about 1.2 gb per min) as opposed to 500mb per min in huffy (if needed i can use uncompressed as i have a raid 0 array and about 140 gb of space but id prefer not to. as i want some space to render it for exporting to cce eventually.

pls help im not sure what im doing wrong at all and it might be a whole lot of things. Including capturing settings although i doubt this as the video plays fine in media player.

Or better if i understand this

It plays perfectly in the source monitor window but it does not play with the right colours or anything in the output window or the one that displays the finished product after adding effects (ive removed all effects to see if it was me)

Does anyone know why Premiere garbles the output of YUY2 Huffyuv? It seems to decode other YUY2 codecs fine.
