Sam,

I downloaded and reviewed some of your videos when AMV was actually a working site. Your videos are really well done and you inspired a newbie (myself) to experiment in this pastime. I want to say that I have just started experimenting, and I actually use to do video editing and commercial editing for a Japanese TV studio called UTB. While I know how to work and meld the two sources together I am having some problems on the smaller software level about getting it right.

Now, this is an experiment so I do not intend to release the video as my own because simply it is not. I am using other peoples work so I can experiment with the results before I pour hours of work into finding original source material and sound material. I am using a video call Blood - Make Me Bad from another fan site. What I am doing is taking a basic MPG video and cutting away the sound from it. I then insert an mp3 music file (Korn - Blind)to try to merge it with the existing video. I am using Adobe Premiere 6.0 and I have a DIVX player for playing AVI/DIVX files. In Adobe premiere it basically saves your work as a project. It then hides the avi in a temp folder on my 3 GB scratch drive. I have an Athlon 750 with 768 MB of RAM and Sound Blaster Live 5.1 MP3 subtype card. (Voodoo 5 Video) but that is irrelavent.

I play the original file and the frames never drop. Very smooth and beautful. But when I preview the project after I cut away the audio and inserted the new mp3, there is serious frame drop. My current settings for the project and the original source material and the export settings are all set to DIVX with 100% at 320 x 240 resolution and the sound settings are the same. Please not, the sound does not stutter one bit. Only the video stutters as if its dropping frames. In my project settings I made sure all of my frame rates match at 30 fps (I use 30 since my video source material runs at that rate). I made sure that my settings are consistent across all sources and export versions.

But everytime I run the preview, blah. I got frate rate drops. Also, for some reason, I can't figure out how to save the project into a AVI file that have mp3 sound embedded in it. Everytime I save it (export it), it is silent.

Do you have any tips or something that can lead me in the right directions here?

Thanks,

Mister Mulder

I am still having the frame drop problem though so if anyone has any ideas where to look to solve this, that would be great! Mister Mulder [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

If either you are someone else could give me a link to a FAQ or some source of info for my particular frame/jitter problem, that would be fantasic. Thank you a head of time.
