Vidding SOS

[anoel]

So it's been a long couple of days. I'm trying to get Premiere working again and I keep running into roadblocks. I tried to fix Windows 7 (failed), reinstalled it with much trouble, forgot my copy of CS4 so had to get a new one, had trouble installing that, had trouble getting avisynth files into Premiere and now...I can't get them to play.

I use DGIndex, get the avs file automatically, put up a deinterlacing line and it all inputs into Premiere fine. It plays in VirtualDub fine. But when I try to play it in the source section or in the timeline, I see nothing but the gray of Premiere. I've tried searching the internet to no avail. Can someone please please pleeeease help me?

I have this vid idea I'm dying to vid and it is slowly driving me crazy not to be able to vid it. It truly is like torture, I can barely think of anything else.

I don't really know what is causing it! But, just throwing ideas out there to maybe help? I know I had a ton of problems with getting avs into Premiere before. Well, I used to always vid from avi files, and then when I went to make my AtLA Iroh vidlet a year or so ago I thought I'd try using the DVDrip+DGIndex+avs format (hoping it would make me able to preserve my clips without needing to preserve huge lossless avi files, so that if I ever re-ripped the DVDs in the future I could recover my timeline). Annnnnnd I ran into problem after problem after problem. I have CS5 (well now CS5.5, but CS5 then) and I guess the regular AviSynth plugin is 32-bit so wouldn't work with the now 64-bit Premiere. I finally found a 64-bit version of the plugin but it was buggy and would crash Premiere if I loaded in too many avs files (not enough to cover my needs). Then I tried that PismoMount thing but that ate up all my memory and then crashed too. Finally I sighed and went back to working from avi clips (though still ripped from my DVDs in this case, heh). So I guess all I am saying is! ...maybe you could try that just in order to get stuff into Premiere? but if it messes up your whole usual workflow maybe that is not a good solution.
