Yes you can. I`ve edited most of the video already, but it`s unusable atm for whatever reason(s). Stormz: http://www.adobeforums.com/cgi-bin/[EMAIL PROTECTED]@.3bb8460a Do some reading on the "architecture" of an MPEG file and you will realize that most MPEG files are "groups of pictures" and not complete frames. DVD-video MPEG-2 consists of a 15 to 18 picture GOP which will choke almost any Premiere system while Sony IMX consists of a 2-picture GOP which can fake it in almost any NLE, so of course it all depends on how you capture your MPEG's....smaller GOP, less stability issues. But again, I stress this most important point, and that is that Adobe is primarily designed to edit DV-AVI, Video for Windows and QuickTime MOV with DV-AVI being the "lingua franca" of most digital editing the world over. While this may change and already has to some extent with certain plug ins, it still comes down to the fact that Premiere does not take to MPEG import files as a native file type. You want to insist that it can, that's great...lots of luck to you. By the way, I am not sure what you mean by the term "atm"...I suspect it's not the cash machine at the local convenience store. Pinnacle Edition, Sony Xpri and certain Canopus systems are designed to edit with MPEG as a native format and there are a few lesser known editors like Womble which do very well with it, and even Sony Vegas will deal with. I believe its only a question of time before plug-ins for Premiere Pro will make it possible to handle any MPEG with ease but for now dont expect any support from Adobe on this one. By the way, this does not mean that Adobe doesn't EXPORT to MPEG....it will do that quite nicely with the correct plug-ins...and Main Concept's plug in for Premiere seems to find favor the most in Premiere land. Stick a fork in me....I am done :-) JeffH Ch.S. ---------- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
