Glad to hear it worked! Good luck wrapping up your project.

Okay, I just acquired a Premiere CS5.5 trial and I am loving the interface to pieces, but I cannot cannot get rid of the interlacing lines. I mean, bad. I've tried basically everything I can find -- setting things to "progressive scan," tinkering with the field options, plugging it all into avisynth (which I think might actually work, the AVSP script came together nicely, but Premiere doesn't want to open the .avs) -- and nothing seems to be working. Halp? ETA: O-kay. I went in and fucked around with the codec settings in the Export menu, and changing it to "Intel IYUV" gave me a really gorgeously clear picture and a HUGE gigantic file size. Like, multiple GB, HUGE. Optimizing for memory didn't help. I tried installing the DIVX converter and running it through that, and it threw me an error message no matter WHAT I'd exported from Premiere as. I'm starting to be nostalgic for WMM here. ETA2: WIKTORY. Set to output as .mpg, ran through DIVX, ran through Format Factory to convert to .avi, doesn't look as good as the HUGE BIG file but looks pretty okay considering it's now unnervingly tiny. Still feel like there has to be a really easy easier way that I'm obviously missing.

Okay, 5.5 is a very new version so some things I say may be out of date. With that caveat in mind: 1. You can't load avisynth files into Premiere unless you have a specific plug-in installed. You can get it (and lots of other useful stuff) in the AMVapp - very much recommended. 2. It's absolutely fine to output as a huge gigantic file first then compress it for web distribution later. I like to use Lagarith codec, but the Intel IYUV you use seems like it should be okay. Export as that first, then use AutoGK to compress to XviD AVI. Again, a highly recommended piece of freeware. (If AutoGK doesn't recognise your Intel IYUV file though, I recommend re-exporting out of Premiere in Lagarith as I know that works.) As a general rule I'd say don't try to compress the vid in a direct export from your editing program; you'd generally get better results if you export/compress in two steps using other software outside of your program. 3. Are you still having interlacing problems? Because it might be source-related, not something you can fix in-program. But once you've done step 1 and manage to load avisynth scripts into Premiere, then you can fix it in avisynth.

It's not source-related --- the source is fine, very clear, and it comes out fine when I export as .flv or .mpg or .avi encodings that aren't DVwhatever. It was definitely the encoding. I have installed AutoGK and will give it a run when it's not literally ohgodthirty in the morning (I'm having way too much school anxiety to sleep, but I feel like I should at least try sometime soon); if all else fails, exporting as non-.avi formats and then converting them seems to work fine.

thatyourefuse -- I generally export a large file using lagarith and convert to xvid for web release in vdub.
Some questions, do you have the avisynth plug in installed that Nicky linked to? Is the interlacing a problem before you export or just when you export? And on export...what settings exactly have you been using? Can you take a screenshot?
If the problem is just on export I'm willing to bet it's easily fixed.

I have solved my export problem, but now I'm having a new one: I CANNOT get the avisynth plugin to work. I've installed it to the right folder, it comes up as "loading" when the program's booting up, and yet Premiere is still refusing to recognize .avs files.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Hmm! That's the first time I've heard of it not working. Maybe you could try emailing absolutedestiny? He'd definitely be my first port of call. It may just be that your version of Premiere is too new.

Okay, so, I'm a big fan of demuxing VOB files for so many reasons - I used to be able to use the files in iMovie 6, no longer can in newer versions, and was very excited to read on the Adobe site that you can import m2v/mpeg files into Premiere. Except, when I try to, the whole program stops responding and I have to shut it down.
I'm using (a trial version of) Premiere CS5.5 on a Mac - any idea what's causing the problem/how to fix it?

Hmm, I haven't had any experience with CS5.5 or Macs, so this will be a very qualified answer. Generally I get the impression that MPEG-2 files are too uncompressed/unwieldy to use as a direct import. I wonder if it's a simple case of not having enough RAM or other hardware-related issues? Have you tried asking Premiere's tech help?

Hey! I am at my wits end here. I have to be missing something, so I am coming here for help. I have been using CS4 for a few years now, not many problems, just the expected ones. I haven't used the program since I finished my last vid. Went to start one today, and all the sudden, every little thing causes a freeze. Importing, moving a clip, cutting, ect, it's bloody annoying. I wanted to make sure I am on the right track: I haven't changed a thing with the way I clip or compress, all my video drivers are up to date, ect. I am running on XP (bad I know), using virtual dub to clip and convert into my usually adobe friendly format.
This is not so much a 'adobe is an SOB' problem as it is a 'Nos' computer is biting the dust' problem isn't it? If not, tell me the magic button I can press. *sob*

I'm so sorry to hear that! I have no good ideas though, it's strange that this is happening without anything changing. The only thing I can think of is trying the same thing with another source, just to make sure it's not this particular source that's causing the problem, although I'm really not sure how it could be?

Yep, already tried that. :/ Even started running through different converting formats just in case Adobe suddenly decided it just lost it's taste for the one I was using. Even right click- import can freeze the whole bloody thing. I am literally at my wits end here and am thinking that it's my processor or something that I don't actually know about. The freezing only happens while I am using Adobe, but it's really the only intensive program I use, so, barring me resub'ing to World of Warcraft just to test my machine.... GAH
