Frameserve from Premiere CS4 to MainConcept Reference

[nharikrishna]

I wonder if anybody can guide me on how to frameserve from Premiere CS4 to MainConcept Reference 2.2.

I have been trying the Debugmode Frameserver but couldn't be successful. I have never done frameserving before, to be honest.

Thanks.

At what point it failed , be more specific.

Well...basically I didn't know how to use it. Here is what I did.

Installed the Debugmode Frameserver.

After editing in Premiere, when I click on Export --> Media, it opens up Adobe Media Encoder. For format, I select DebugMode Frameserver. When I click OK and Start Encoding, it does nothing. The window just closes down.

Is it technically possible to frameserve between CS4 and MainConcept Reference? If so, then I am not doing it right.

Thanks.

A friend of mine had this problem with Premiere CS4 4.01, but updating to 4.2.1 solved it.

It should just minimize or so not to close, it waits for encoder to load it. Thats frame serving, Vegas gives MainConcept only frames it needs at a time.

You had to give it a name inside Premiere, say signpost.avi, that file has couple of kb, or much more if you write audio as PCM in frameserver window (good idea if you work with audio within Premiere, or you have more audio tracks).

Then load that signpost.avi into MainConcept reference.

If it rejects that file, try to load Avisynth script with your correct path to the signpost.avi, for example:
AviSource("C:\signpost.avi")

Remember video has properties as your Project properties inside Premiere , not parameters of your clip.

When encoding is finished go back to Premiere and stop serving.

OK thanks both. Wil try as per the advice tonight.

This is something I didn't know. Thanks.
