Adobe Premiere and Frameserving?!?

[Lambchop]

I've just started trying out adobe premiere, and have taken a 45min movie clip, and edited other clips into it. I'm now trying frameserving, going by the guide on VCDHELP, but when I open the part0.avs file in TMPEGENC and hit start (VCD PAL setting - have no problems with this normally), it just freezes and doesn't work...can anyone offer any tips?
Cheers

Got it covered now...I was editing an Mpeg file, which it didn't like to frameserve...I separated the audio to its own wav file and it worked...

bbiandov: if you cant find a guide use the search function(not the forum search...the one to the left a bit down, search on this site). but here is our guide http://www.vcdhelp.com/premiereavisynth.htm

Here is one solution that I copied from the Premiere forum at Adobe:

Here is the answer: I was really intimidated by AVISynth when I first downloaded it, but one day I finally figured it out, and I have used it every day since! A Few Basics --------------- So, You need to get the movie from premiere to TMPGEnc, but there's no direct way, so you need a middle-man: AVISynth. It basically bridges this gap. When you export with it, it builds a bridge, and then creates a Road-Sign called a script so that when TMPGEnc reads it, it knows where to go to find the video & audio frames... You'll get this later. Installing Avisynth ---------------------- Avisynth consists in its entirety of a single DLL and a few entries in the Registry. Once you've unpacked the distribution archive, just move avisynth.dll to your windows\system directory and double-click the install.reg file. There should be no need to reboot. Copy the plug-in (cm-avisynth.cm.flask) into premiere's plug-in directory and rename it to "cm-avisynth.cm.prm". Get into Premiere, Open your project, and Select Export > Movie. Click on the Settings button. In general settings, File Type = Link to avisynth. Click Advanced settings for AVISynth. Leave audio mode on safe, uncheck benchmark, leave the rest alone for now. Go through all of the other settings tabs, and set what you want. Click OK, and you're back to choosing where you want to save the file... Here's where it got confusing for me. It doesn't matter where you "save" this file, because it doesn't write a file... it writes a script somewhere in the memory of the computer. So, just type in "123" for the file name and hit enter. This brings up a box called Premiere Plugin. towards the top of the box, it should say this: IPCSource("1230&quot (or something very similar to that) This is the Road-Sign that I talked about earlier. Open Notepad and type this line EXACTLY as it appears! Save the file on your desktop or in your c:\ directory as SYNTH.TXT --- now go into the directory where you saved it and rename it to SYNTH.AVS Open TMPGEnc and click browse for video source. Change File Type to "All Files (*.*)" and open your SYNTH.AVS file. There you GO!!!!!! As far as TMPGEnc knows, It's reading an uncompressed AVI File. Set the settings you want and ENCODE! Premiere will serve the movie frame-by-frame to AVISynth, and AVISynth will do the same to TMPGEnc. Once you do it a few times, You'll be able to do it in a matter of 10 seconds or less. Whenever I Export from Premiere, I use the same filename of "123", then All I have to do is open the same SYNTH.AVS file and Away I Go. Good Luck.

A working setup with Premiere 6:

avisynth plug-in for Premiere6 - v0.28 beta 37
avisynth DLL - 1.0 beta 31

I haven't been happy with avisynth with Premiere due to errors that result in helpful messages like "F**king Premiere", but there's a new tool at http://www.videotools.net called Video Server Plugin. I haven't tested it enough to judge it but hopefully it is more robust.

Well isn't Video Server Plugin just another name for "link to AVISYNTH" since Video Server Plugin still DOES REQUIRE avisynth.dll? The only time Video Server Plugin does not require avisynth.dll is when its running in avi wrapper mode? Am I correct or not?
