After Effects CS4 Render Quick Time To Premiere CS4

[Vincent D’amico]

I figured out what it was,I forgot that, I didnt set the Preview To High Quality heh. When I rendered it out it showed better.

I’m working on a dual quad mac with 8 gigs of ram,

30 inch mac studio display

But at the current Time Im probally doing it sloppy, I created my 5 second clip in after effects than ported it over as a Quick Time to Premiere.

Is there anyway to bring over the after effects file? Straight into premiere. So that I dont have to render x2 in after effect’s than in Adobe Media Encoder. Im probably losing some quality over that. Heh trying to edit this video together by tomorrow night’s new year’s party with our friends.

Thank You Much Appreciated,

I agree with Dave, just do it in the codec you use for Premiere.

Also, side note; get more RAM. If you’ve got 8 cores, you need at least 16 gigs to get decent use out of multiprocessing.
Here’s great post explaining that.

Thank’s guy’s.

Thank’s for the link Michael, I couldnt afford another 2k for the bigger RAM 8g – 16g at the time for the machine at the time my focus was print. Ill have to check into the pricing at the mac shop now.

I happend to have run into another issue though. Some of our footage was hdv clips. Some were with my other DV Camera which I have the tape from. We captured multiple angles from the set.

I captured the whole tape from the dv cam in premiere got the .mov file out of it. Around 5 gigs with sound. When I cut a clip from Source Window. Than put it in my Time Line. Is there anyway besides rendering the clip as a mov to send the clip in my timeline to after effects? So i can add some oomph to the scene’s?
