Frameserving avisynth fake AVIs into Premiere Pro CC with makeAVIS

[Lanti]

I have a gopro video which is rotated upside down. I rotated with avisynth, to make easier to cut. Of course I can re-convert than bring into Premiere, but for later projects, where quality will be matter, would be nice to frame serving somehow to Premiere Pro CC!

I created a fake AVI file with ffdshow's makeAVIS. I want to bring in Premiere Pro CC this fake AVI, but simply not work. PP says corrupted audio and video. However, x86 video players (mpc-hc, wmp) will play this fake avi files without problem.

It will open up endless possibilities if somehow possible to bring fake AVI files from avisynth into Premire Pro CC or Lightroom or Photoshop! DNG grading frame by frame in image groups in Lightroom, than bring this sequence by fake AVI from avs script into Premiere Pro CC! In theory this is nice, but some reason Premiere doesn't like the fake avi file...

Is it possible?

you should be able to do it with AVFS.

Though frameserving out of Premiere to an *.avs file is probably what mostly happens here, one can import and play these *.avs files in Premiere, too, by, for starters, installing Premiere avisynth plugin and importer.

Most of these Premiere Pro import export AVS plugins are outdated. Last supported Premiere version was CS5.

I will try the AVFS way.

AVFS should work. It worked on everything I tried, even in HitFilm. Depending on your source and the program you are using, you may need to add ConvertToRGB(24) at the end of your script for best compatibility.

Is there any reason you can't make a lossless AVI (Lagarith, UT Video Codec, whatever) for opening in Premiere?

I'm still using Premiere Pro CS5.0.3. But thanks to you I'll try AVFS.

Can't you just open your GoPro footage in Premiere and flip it there? Did I miss something?

Is it possible to flip it on the Source Monitor? Because if it is, than I don't need frameserving. Hard to choose sequences, when you watching the source upside down...

Yes, free space.

Just use your corrected sequence as a source. Drag it into the source monitor.

An alternative to MakeAVIS.

I used to use it quite a lot (although not with Premiere).
Once it's installed you can right click on a script and select "wrap into AVI". I'd often extract the audio from the source, convert it to an AVI friendly format if need be, open the AVI created by avstoavi with VirtualDubMod, add the extracted audio, then save it as a new AVI using direct steam copy for the video.
