  Need help exporting to HD file in Prem Pro

  Posted by Mike Mcmahon on September 14, 2009 at 8:08 pm

  I would like to maintain HD quality through the Export process to create a file that will be played on a Western Digital TV HD Media Player. I have tried a multiple of export settings without success. My goal is to play back using the WD TV player with the file stored on a USB drive…file size is not an issue.

  I capture the HDV footage from a Canon HV30 camcorder into PremProCS3

  I use the Project Settings preset = HDV, HDV 1080i30 (60i)

  I have stabbed around with Export, Movie… as well as with the Adobe Media Encoder and can’t find the magic.

  When I capture/edit in iMovie09 on a MacBookPro, I can easily export to a .m4v which plays back in great HD quality on my 46″ TV via the WD TV player. But I can’t seem to find the right preset or custom setting within Premiere Pro to get the job done. I greatly prefer the PP editing environment and want to stick with it.

  Thanks, in advance.

  What I always do for my HD export is the following:

  While in PPro project select export,
  Adobe Media Encoder pops up,
  Under Format select Mpeg 2,
  Under Preset options select – HDTV 1080i 29.97 High Quality
  Quality of 5.
  Make sure both Audio and Video is selected.

  I love the way this looks, here’s an example of one of my projects using this output.

  Hope that helps.

  Danny,

  First, thanks again for your help. I ended up using:
  MPEG2
  1440x1080i High Quality
  Q=4
  and was very happy with the result. I will try your precise settings for the next iteration of my movie.

  By the way, the Butterfinger piece is sensational…great idea and beautiful quality of the filming/lighting and the rendering.

  Thanks!
