to composite with Premiere

[jericho0131]

Hi

 

I am not sure whether I should ask this question here, but this might be a 3dsmax matter.

 

I wanted to make HD animation, and I have rendered some animations with 3dsmax 8, the outputs are 720*405 HDTV(video) and uncompressed. Each avi file is about hundreds of MB. When I import these avi files with Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0, using the presets of Adobe HDV 720p, the memory are taken away in a suddun and always swapping.

 

It can't be true, it's just a few hundres MB data, and can't do anything. But I could't find any discriptions on this in the Premiere books.

Does anyone have rendered HDTV uncompressed avi files and imports them with Adobe Premiere, if so how?

 

I've got 2GB memory and Windows XP.

 

Thanks in advance,

try Adobe Encore it worked for us and we had a 5 Gb movie to compress and burn.

Thanks for your reply.

I never though about Encore. I will look into it.

But basically I'd like to go with Premiere since it has a lot of effects.

Isn't the minimum resolution for HD 1280x720? That is what you need to be able to do 720p. That your file is not that resolution may or may not be part of the problem.

I have not used premier much, so I don't know if this will help or not. But I know that in After Effects you can create a proxy of a mpeg or avi and use the low res proxy for all your setup. Then when you finally go to render it, switch the proxy for the original. So, you could check to see if Premier offers proxy style functionality and if not, try and render it out in After Effects.

THanks for the advise, guys.

 

I am really curious about this.

Because when I was using Pemiere 6.0, or when I used my friends' Media Studio Pro, none of this happend. No matter how large the avi is, i could import the files and preview it, though they are very slow and imperfect.

The type of the project didn't reaaly matter that time.

Not sure if this is your problem, or how v2.0 deals with things, but on v1.5 Premiere conforms the audio when you first import a file, and while it is doing that the response is not too smooth, as the cpu is busy on the conform. All smoothes out after it has finished that.
