Lots of people will try to tell you AVI doesn't support various things, or that the picture quality is worse than Quicktime, or whatever. This is of course untrue. The problem is that there hasn't ever really been a particularly widely-supported way of including timcode in AVIs. I'm not aware that ffmpeg has ever supported doing so in a way that Premiere can read. My information may be out of date, but the last time I checked, Premiere liked "tdat" chunks in AVI files, and also seems to write XML chunks containing timecode, among other things. This is relatively trivial to implement if one already has a RIFF file writer, but it doesn't surprise me that there's never been much demand for it. That said I'm surprised you're having problems with prores quicktimes, which are usually quite reliable. What version of Premiere are you using? Phil
Sorry for the late answer... I am on Premiere Pro CC 2014, recent updates. Maybe i'll give ProRes another try but i really had problems with lots of files. And we have these kind of projects, so i really want to find a workflow to stick with. Do you have any hints/links for me regarding the AVI/Timecode problem? I can't believe this is something never done before with ffmpeg...
