Adobe Premiere Question

jadengatekeeper · 02-13-2006, 10:02 PM

Hey all, I'm new to Premiere so please bear with me.

I'm trying to import an AVI that's been encoded for DivX and it will import sucessfully, however, when I go to do my editing the video will not play. Do I need some kind of plugin or a setting somewhere I'm not seeing to make this work?

I also checked out the DivX website and tried to do it their way and it would crash almost imediatly. Any Idea's?

Thanks for the time.

I don't know much about premiere, but I'm pretty sure a divx file needs to be converted to another format before it will work properly with premiere. It's made for handling high-definition formats, and doesn't do so well with compressed stuff. Hopefully one of the video geniuses can pick up on this one.
