Adobe Premiere Pro exporting
I am havibg a problem expoerting my completed project from Premiere Pro 2.0 back onto tape without glitches. I want to export my completed movie onto a portable hard drive in order to try to export to tape on a different computer. When I transfer the movie from the portable hard drive onto the other computer,and then create a new project to import the movie into, the imported movie appears and plays as just a thumbnail-sized video in the monitor and when exporting to tape. I am new to this and I’m sure that I’m missing a setting along the way. Can someone advise me on how to transer a completed movie onto a portable hard drive and then again to another computer without losing the format or size. This way I can import the movie into Adobe Premiere Pro 2,0 on the second computer to try to export it to tape.

You havent mentioned what format you are working in? DV or HDV. I’m assuming its DV. If so you would export a Movie using DV NTSC or PAL depending on your projects format. NTSC is Americas Japan and some other countries running 29.97fps. PAL is 25fps and is in most other english speaking countries and europe.
You must check the settings on export as it won’t automatically use the same one as your project (which should be addressed by Adobe).
Once you’ve done that try importing it back into the project you edited in. The size should be ok.
HDV is a different story. If you are using HDV you need to mention that in your next post.

Jon,
Thank you for the response. I edited from HDV footage using a Sony HD camera. However when exporting the finished product from the completed timeline, I assume that it is in DV format since I am not expoerting back to tape and the program is not converting to HDV prior to the transfer (as it does when I attempt to export back to tape). I checked the export settings as you suggested and it is exporting in dv/ntsc (I am in the US). I don’t know what you mean by exporting back into the program that I edited in. My goal is to export the video to an external hard drive so that I can move it to a different computer (which is also running Adobe PP 2.0) in order to try to export an HDV video back to tape. I am having issues with my primary computer and I am unable to export to tape without minor glitches. I hope that I have given you enough info for further suggestions. Thank you. -
Hi Rob,
As a general rule professional use of HDV, Ha! that sounds funny, um yeah, HDV doesn’t really go back to tape much. It can, but you’re re-compressing something that is heavily compressed in the beginning so it’s not done unless it absolutely needs to be provided that way.
Ok, the first thing you need to do is make sure you are saving it in a format that is as lossless as possible for the size of your harddrive. (If the below method is too large and it don’t like it you’ll need to get back to me). Because if you export a HDV to a HDV file then export it to HDV tape that’s way too much re-compressing and each generation (re-compressed/exported version) will lose color and sharpness. So…This exported version will need to render when it is used on the other computer.
1. First make sure you have Quicktime 7.3.1 NOT 7.4!!!
2. Export the Movie with these settings;
– Export>Movie>General…File Type: QT, Range: Entire Sequence, Add to Project When Finished: tick the box
(Cont’) Video Settings…Compressor TGA, Color Depth: Millions, Frame Size: 1440×1080, Frame Rate: 29.97, Pixel Aspect Ratio: HD Anamorphic 1080 1.33, Quality: 100%, Recompress: untick this box!
3. Ok to render to your HDD.This will import itself into your project once it’s done rendering.
Depending how long your project is this will take a while. (Took me about 1min to export 11sec of the Countdown Leader) same with the render before export to tape. But you won’t lose any unnecessary quality this way.

Thanks Jon…I’ll give it a try when I have some time. Thanks.

Jon,
I tried the settings as you suggested and I had two failed attempts to make the export. I think that my computer was overwhelmed. I designed it about two and a half years ago to handle DV, which it does nicely, however, i think that it is overwhelmed by HDV. According to my computer’s estimates it would have taken about 5-6 hours to export. I never made it past 25%. I ordered a new computer from Dell that is designed to handle HDV. This should solve my problems…Thanks.
