I'm trying to cut together a video on PPro CS4. I've got some desktop captures that I need to edit together.
The videos were recorded in VMware workstation and come in two different types: A linux machine and a Windows machine. The linux videos are all 720x400 and work fine. The Windows videos are 1115x737 and are causing lots of grief.
My workflow would normally be to take the VMnc encoded videos, convert them to Largs in virtualdub and then import them into PPro. However, for some reason, virtualdub won't read the Windows videos, despite them playing perfectly in VLC.
The next plan was to use CamStudio to capture the VLC output. This gives me a Largs file that virtualdub can now read. However, when I drop it into PPro, it's read perfectly in the file viewer, but the main monitor seems to create another version of the video with messed up colours which then overlays on the original. Difficult to describe, screenshot is below.
Thinking that this was a size issue, I successfully used virtualdub to resize the video to 640x480 and I still get the same issue. It also occurrs if I use Huffyuv instead of Largs. The fact that it's occurring across multiple codecs and video sizes makes me think it's a setting somewhere in PPro that I'm missing...
Any idea how I can make PPro CS4 play nice with these?
Thanks
