I've been struggling for two days straight just trying to get Adobe Premiere CS5 installed, but it won't work because they only offer the online version for 64-bit systems, and I'm stuck on a 32-bit one. After wasting a ton of time downloading five or six different versions of CS5, I finally gave up and installed Adobe Premiere CS4 instead. Now I'm watching your video, but the quality is a bit hard to see, and my CS4 doesn't have the same features your CS5 does. On top of that, even if I managed to find a working CS5 version, the Moye Importer is just the free version while you're using the full one, which means I'd end up with an advertisement plastered over my video—so basically, I'd be paying to advertise a logo. It's just becoming too much of an uphill battle for me. 😢I think I'll just try using a different program instead.

ps
Trying to install Adobe Premiere has been a total nightmare; every single CS5 version I've downloaded seems to have its own set of weird issues. 😠

Just download CS3. I'm running CS3 on a 32-bit system myself, and you should check out this video (it's actually the same one I made, so sorry for stealing the idea, placidcobra49 😁). It should work in CS4 as well, though I can't say for sure. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3OY6Om4XlzY

Regarding the Moye Importer... Your best bet is probably just to convert the video. There are plenty of converters available online that can handle that.

Well, that’s just how it goes sometimes... You should probably just convert it. 😁

Carl Nguyen5 said:I'm leaning toward MKV because I really don't want to be stuck saving everything as FLV.

No, it’s just my own personal preference 😁 Anyway, just make sure you don't step outside of the Encoder when you're doing your saving.

I was watching something where the dialogue starts at the 7-second mark, but the subtitles don't actually show up until 9 seconds in. I'm looking for a tool that can fix the timing automatically, or at least gives me the ability to manually sync them myself.

Try GOM Player. If you dive into the subtitle settings, it has options to shift the timing forward or backward by 5-second increments. I can't recall if they still have the 😁
option available, but it should help.

Carl Nguyen5 said:Thanks, but what resolution can I actually open in Adobe Premiere? My video is 1080p.

If you have Premiere, this should be an easy fix. 😁 Just drop your video into Premiere, go to the "File" menu, and select export > Adobe Media Encoder. A small window will pop up for saving the video. You'll also see a large preview where you can adjust those cropping lines—just drag the line above the logo and then save it as an .flv (make sure you stay within Media Encoder). That should do the trick. 😁
That's my usual workflow when I'm working in Adobe Premiere CS3.
