ok here's the problem
when i try to preview the clip using the Alt method... it only shows black throughout the whole cliip..... then i tried to actually render a small part and all it shows is black and a small bit of green on the bottom. so for some reason premiere is not editing this thing for me.. it's just screwing it up. when i play the unedited clip on media player it's fine. but when i render it. then play it it screws up. please help if u can
