Premiere CS4 MXF and all format bad video playback - Help.

[Juan Carlos]

Hello everyone:

I am testing now Premiere CS4. My platform is a 64 bit Windows Vista (cant change that now) and all the CS4 suite seems to work fine so far. I just imported MXF P2 files directly to the timeline but Premiere doesnt show it in the preview window...just audio. It shows sometimes as very jerky tinted video (it actually looks like that psycodelic SOLARIZE effects in photoshop). It shows well in the thumbnail preview window but just the first frame.

I tried even to render it in RAYLIGHT Raymaker to make the 720p footage an AVI (self-contained), but imported it and still looks the same: all jerky and "solarized".

Anyone knows how to fix this? After installation, Premiere popped-up a window saying it was gonna install additional codecs for the program and it did.

Someone out there using Premiere CS4 and knows this issue and a solution?
Working in a project right now and would appreciate the help.
Thank you in advance.

I had this problem once but it was in Premiere 2.0! My picture was jerky and solarized. I am 90% sure that it was a codec problem.... i didn't have the proper codec for a new video card I had installed or something.

I'm going to try and look around my old posts and things to see if I can find the answer.

Thank you Ayifilms. I hope there is a solution to that problem. So far I re-installed some stuff and it spoiled CS4. Had to recover and reformat my whole PC as going back in a prior point with Windows didnt fix the thing.

Adobe bundles and programs are always so picky and complex. Same with CS3 happened.

Anyone had same issue around here?
