Using Adobe Premier to edit the movies

My plan is to cut the opening and the credits to make all 20 (10 now) simulously without any interuption

So I got Premier from my job, and installed it

but when I inport the MOV files, all I get is audio and no video

whats with that?

and

Where can I find plugins?

PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!

 

Get a Mac and use Final Cut. ;]

make jokes but I am using a PC

and all I just want to know is why when I inport MOV movies all I can see in the preview screen is black but I can hear audio

 

I have personally also edited the whole movie together(check 2ndquest's thread for more information on that). I personally used Magix Video Deluxe for editing, which doesn't seem to have any problems with the audio in MOV files.

You can find more info about that product here. There's a demo, but I'm not sure what kind of capabilities it has. It's a worth a shot tho'.

 

Why when I inport any of my MOV files into Premier version 7 I can only hear audio and its black in the moniter screen

 

Perhaps because Premiere 7 is unable to work well with MOV files. I have a bit of a past experience with Adobe Premiere, and although it is a very good video editor, I always had problems with trying to import something else than an AVI file.

*shrugs* I suppose that Premiere just wasn't build to work with MOV.

 

I ...uh....just taped them and paused the tape when a commercial came on. Real easy and I did it in one hour.

 

You'll need Quicktime Pro to export it using a different compressor.

 

I did the same myself using Quicktime Pro. Export the .mov's to uncompressed .avi files, import them into Premiere and then after editing, export into your chosen format, (DVD MPEG-2 in my case)

 

what setting did you do for exporting it as an avi?

because when I did it the file grew to 1 gig

 

Well, just off the top of my head.....

Did you make sure to check the timeline? Sometimes, some tracks are disabled. You can also try importing it as another type of file, do what you have to do, and then export it as a mov.

I had never thought of putting these together. Good idea! I'll go home and try tonight. I also have Premiere, so we'll see what's up.

 

I have a Mac and in Quicktime Pro and you can just copy and paste movie segments. Maybe it's not as simple on a PC.

 

Why not wait until it all comes out on DVD? less hassel.

 

I edited the movies together useing quicktime pro!

 

Why not wait until it all comes out on DVD? less hassel.

Because that could take months, we want to watch it now.
