Thanks
 

This is very helpful - I had missed the entire concept of frameserving which may address my problem best of all - better than using an intermediate file.

I don't see answers over at debugmode.com for my basic questions and thought someone here might know.

I've run the degugmode installation program and directed it to install in the Premire Pro CS3 installation I have (not my old PPro 1.5 installation)

The "Debugmode Frameserver" does not appear under export to movie options however - even after restarting Ppro CS3

It looks as if all that's called for is for the debugmode dll - fscommon.dll - to reside in the proper Premiere Pro plug directory/subdirectory. I manually put it in

C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Pro CS3\Plug-ins\
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Pro CS3\Plug-ins\en_US
and
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Pro CS3\Plug-ins\Common

but it still doesn't show up as an option under export/move

Does anyone familiar with Debugmode see my goof
Thanks in advance
Kevin

PPRO 2.0 & CS are not listed as supported on the Debugmode website, so they may not work until the author of the software does not come up with an updated version. But again, maybe someone has already figured it out... I suspect Adobe has changed a few things around, so the Debugmode installation does not go where it should.

Check out the forums at http://www.debugmode.com/userforums/ - it might help.

The file that should be in the Premier plug-in folder is cm-dfscPremiereOut.prm not the .dll. The dll stays in the Debugmode folder. Mine is in CS3's common plug-in folder and works fine. As I recall it's part of the installation process and debugmode asks you where to put it.

Thanks!
 

Thanks guys - exactly - I must have misdirected the installation as I found cm-dfscPremiereOut.prm in my Photoshop CS3 directory but by copying it into the Premiere CS3 my menu choice comes up and I'm trying my first conversion to DVD compliant MPG from a HDV project.
Much appreciated
