MPEG problem

[migueloliveira]

Hello.Please, can somebody help me with this.

MPEG files imported into premiere 6.5 play if opened in the project window.
As soon as they are dragged into the timeline, and played, the video jumps from one still to another (maybe 1 sec or 2 apart)
I have matched the frame rate of the settings viewer with the clip frame rate (25fps).
MANY thanks in advance

Miguel

Premiere 6.5 is not compatible with MPEG editing unless you have specialised hardware/software add-ins.

But a month ago i was able to perform any task (play , export clips , etc...) using the same Premiere 6.5 and the same MPEG clip.I created MPEGs from the same MPEGs that i cannot play in the timeline view now.
I think i have installed a video codecs pack since, and may be that ruined the good set up i had before.

Is there a codec application that solves this?

Thanks

Best not use MPEG files to edit. MPEG is a "end process" or the "final format" form of any video. Editing an already compressed file format ( mpeg is compressed ) will only make you end up with a compressin of a compressed file.

alwys work with uncompressed AVI/.mov files. You will continue to encounter problems editing MPEG files.

I know, but as the only version of the clips i have is MPEG.Maybe premiere is not up to the job.

Then download program that will change your MPEG from an MPEG to an AVI; preferably uncompressed.
