  Codec Export Settings

  Posted by Patrick Butler on November 13, 2012 at 10:30 pm

  I have clips from a T3i and 5D and I want to export them out of premiere to be used as stock footage.

  What export settings should I use? I want them to essentially be as raw as possible, and good to drop into any Pr project in the future.

  Why not keep them as-is? Premiere performs more than decently with native codecs so why create more work for yourself?

  If you’re looking for an editing/intermediate codec, like maybe you’re editing on an old machine or on the go with a laptop, there is always:

  Prores. Mac-only encoding – at least officially but there are other encoders. The disadvantage is that these encoders don’t use Premiere’s interface

  Avid DNxHD. Free, cross platform but the settings can feel a little strange

  GoPro Cineform. Cross platform but not widespread.
