Right. What he needs to do is go from h.264 to h.264 THEN back to h.264 to complete the circle.

So, I'm going from Streamclip into Premiere using the Avid codec (all this technical stuff gives me a headache.)

Are there settings I can use that makes it so I do not have to render everything? I'd think I should be able to match the settings in Streamclip to my Premiere project file but, as I said, this technical stuff gives me a headache... so I avoid it when I can. ;]

thanks

Now I'm trying, just for kicks to do a conversion in 8bit, as you suggested might have been the problem before, and see how that works... I'm starting to get a bit desperate, I have a job in a few days and I cannot not be able to edit...
Maybe it's the codec it uses for rendering that does that?
And no, 8 bit conversion didn't change the problem...

You say you have Canopus Edius 5? If so just add the files and highlight them, right click and select 'Convert' and then 'Batch files'. It will convert the files to a .avi and they will play fine in the timeline.
