There’s a problem that has troubled me for days: I can open a downloaded .avi movie in the Adobe Premiere CS5 but I do not know how to choose the correct format to make it show smoothly and edit frame by frame… If I convert it to mpg, than what option should I chose?

I like do some editing with my source videos including MTS, MXF camera/camcorder recordings, or some other common files like AVI, MP4, etc and then upload to YouTube, Viemo to share. While, when I try importing AVI to Adobe Premiere Pro, the AVI videos can’t be played an edited smoothly in the program.

Searched widely and I got some tech support for loading AVI files into Adobe Premiere Pro correctly.

1. Select your imported AVI file from the project view in Premiere and then
2. Go to File > Interpret Footage.
3. Inside the Interpret Footage dialog box, check the Ignore Alpha Channel option.

This makes your AVI file completely visible. If the video still appears blank, try re selecting the clip in order to refresh the video viewer.

Another possible cause of reduced image quality when importing video into Premiere is Frame Blending. Right click on the video and uncheck the Frame Blending option.

I tried the solution, but the video playback is still jerky. I’d struggle to find another good one. In this try, more than one people suggest to convert AVI to a Premiere Pro most compatible format e.g. MPEG-2, which will ensures a perfect AVI importing, playing and editing workflow with Premiere Pro CS5/CS6.

Here is the step-by-step guide on transcocding AVI to MPEG-2 for Premiere Pro CS5/CS6 on Mac OS X with Brorsoft Video Converter for Mac. This video app can help you change AVI into a different format (e.g. .mov, .wmv, .mpg) with least quality loss. You should then be able to import the new file into Premiere with smooth editing without any trouble. If you are Windows users, please get the Video Converter. Below is how to.

Step 1: Run AVI to Premiere Converter for Mac and you can import AVI clips to the program through “Add Video” button or “Add from folder” button. If you like, check the “Merge into one” box to join AVI clips together.

Step 3: Click “Convert” button to start encoding AVI to MPEG-2(.mpg) for Adobe Premiere Pro CS5/CS6 on Mac OS X.
