Jeff, can you play the AVI in WMP or anywhere else outside of Premiere? If
so, what does a check of file properties tell you about the codec and frame
size? Do you have any other app that will display the codec, frame size and
so on? I use Imaginate frequently, exporting to AVI and editing in
Premiere, but I'm using 6.5 and haven't bought Pro yet. I don't recall what
settings, if any, are available for export to AVI in Imaginate but if there
are choices I'd look them over. Microsoft DV AVI would be my choice, unless
I had a Canopus card on board, in which case I'd choose their codec. I do
in fact use a Canopus DV Raptor for DV capture from my camcorders, but I
edit in MS DV AVI and the output from Imaginate has always been accepted
without rendering. In the unlikely event that you're exporting a Canopus DV
file from Imaginate and don't have a Canopus card installed you might try
their free AVI converter to create a MS friendly format, but I wouldn't bet
on that being the issue.

Hi everyone. I posted awhile back concerning the use of keyframes
to create motion for stills in Premiere. A few kind responses
pointed me to Imaginate by Canopus. The basic idea was that it was
much easier to learn and use for the purposes of creating a photo
montage cosisting of stills with motion. You were right..... It is
indeed, very easy to use and does a great job allowing you to start
with ready made templates or to get as creative as you want.
HOWEVER....(you had to know that was coming ~wink~), after creating
my masterpiece, I cannot get it to import into Premiere for
nothing. I rendered the project in Canopus and can see the AVI file
that it created on my drive, but when I tell Premiere to import it,
I get a message stating, "unsupported compression in file". I tried
the help file included in the program but couldn't figure anything
out. I seem to have misplaced my book although I don't know that it
would have had any additional information in it over what the
electronic help file had. Does anyone have any idea what I might be
doing wrong? It's just a simple project with about 35 photos and no
audio. I figured if I could ever get it imported into Premiere, I
could add the background music there. Thanks for any suggestions or
help you can offer.
