Do not see a way to export to MPEG4

Posted by Scottsdigitalphoto on January 12, 2007 at 9:02 pm

I do not see a way to export to an MPEG4 with mpeg2 audio in PP 2.0. The QT options do not seem to offer a way to do this.

Can some one help?

Thanks

Premiere Pro does not export to MPEG4 content directly. 🙁

Can you reccomend a conversion software? If so, what would be the best format to convert from – like mpeg2, avi, ect

Thanks

For heavy use I’d recommend Sorenson Squeeze first, then Canopus Procoder – I use both to good effect. If you are working with DV it would be best to export a DV avi for conversion in Squeeze / Procoder. For a much cheaper (but almost certainly slower and perhaps more limited) option it might be worth taking a look at upgrading your Quicktime player to Quicktime Pro – Not sure if QT Pro likes big .avi files much, I’ve heard the encodes can take quite a while – maybe an export to a Quicktime DV file from Premiere would be the best option before encoding to MPEG4 in QT Pro. HTH.

Depends on what you want to do. But, the 2 frequently used applications are:

a) Sorenson Squeeze
b) Canopus Procoder

I am shooting HDV on DV tapes using Sony Z1Us. The footage is being used for webmercials.

So, should I export to an avi file, the use the reccomended programs to go to a MPEG4?

Thanks

So you are Shooting HDV – are you editing HDV or DV? If you downconverting to DV from the Z1 and capturing/editing DV then a DV avi is definitely the way to go – even if you are editing HDV it is probably the most straightforward way to go IMHO.

Editing in HDV. If I need somthing in DV, I just shoot it in DV and bypass the convert. I will look for the software and go with the avi.

Thanks for your suggestions.

Adobe Premiere Pro CS does export out to MP4, it under the Adobe Media Encoder under the option of H.264, look through the settings and you’ll be able to change the output file to MP4. Good luck.
