  Need to export absolutely LOSSLESS from Premiere Pro

  Posted by Christian Hervás on September 6, 2014 at 10:12 am

  Hello!

  So my friend did his 30′ documentary in Premiere Pro and asks me to do its Color Correction. I am using Avid Media Composer/Symphony.

  After searching how to convert projects from Premiere to Avid and finding it’s a nightmare we decided the simplest straightforward way would be exporting an uncompressed full quality file.

  I don´t mind large files, but I need absolutely lossless quality. From Premiere I tried uncompressed RGB 32 bits, then uncompressed YUV 10 bits, wich I thought would be the highest quality options. For some reason, with both files I find degradation on the image compared to the original DSLR .h264 footage used in Premiere.

  So… how can I make sure I am exporting “same as source”, not further processing, and getting exactly what I am viewing on Premiere’s timeline?

  Thanks

  Thanks!

  Unfortunately my version of Avid won´t import DPX sequences, but I did a TIFF sequence and it’s working fine. Previously I had tried Animation Uncompressed, better result than YUV or RGB uncompressed, but not as good as an image sequence, wich is definitely the way to go.
