After editing with Premier 6 and then TMPGEncoding

[rluner]

After capturing a DV file on my hard drive in DVD PAL (MPEG-2 720x576, 25fps CBR3000kps) quality, I tested that I could convert it to mpg using TMPGE. I could.

However after editing with Premier 6, then exporting the movie, the final outputted .avi, can no longer be encoded with TMPGE. But yet it is in the same format as the original, DVD-PAL. TMPGE just claims that

the file cannot open, or unsupported

.

I have since realised that every initial capture will convert to mpg, but as soon as I have done any alterations with Premier 6, the output file will not encode with TMPGEnc.

Anyone any ideas ?

Frameserving your edited DV file to TMPGEnc is what you will want to do.

To tired to explain how now, read the AVISynth FAQ - very helpful

What I wanted to do was to edit a DV-PAL file then encode it to mpg, but this seems not to be so simple.

You will notice I posted under the newbie section.

I have read your link, and the two that comes after it, and the 44 that come after them two.

I have since searched the web, found and installed the following: -

AvisynthPackagev1_00zip – to get me an export to a sort of imaginary file as I understand. Premier6_VideoserverPackage093.zip (which I now don’t think I need, and cant quite remember why I thought I ever did need it, but anyway I have another nice export option in premier 6 J), and tmpgenc-readavs.zip – which as I understand, allows TMPGEnc the brains to read .avs files.

Armed with my new knowledge, I work slowly through the set-up and install options OK. Give it all a reboot for good measures too.

Load premier 6; import my edited DV-PAL file (I would still like to know why this cant be opened in TMPGEnc, but the original DV-PAL can, and all the settings appear to be the same). Export Timeline Movie to Link to Avisynth; get a nice box telling me that Premier is Now serving. So I copy the line: - IPCSource(“test”), paste it into my txt file test.avs (with no txt at the end). Run TMPGEnc, load my settings point the video source to test.avs [which only contain the text IPCSource(“test”)]. And all I get for my time is “Script error, there is no function named “IPCSource” (G:\test.avs,line1).”

So there we have it, or don’t as the case may be.

Silly me, I’m so glad this was under the newbie section.

Thanks for the help, as I have learn a lot, but not what I originally wanted to know, i.e. why can a DV-PAL file straight from my camcorder be TMPGEnc, yet as soon as Premier touches it, and leaves it in the same format (so Premier claims) I can no longer encode with TMGEnc?

Anyone any ideas?

hey have you tried third party Plug-ins for Adobe Premier?

plugins to export mpg format directly from Premier.

Thanks to all, I have it all working now.

Easy when you know how. Very simple to use.
