Alternative to 40-50GB Per 5 Min. Of Premiere Pro Projects?
Hi,
I try to archive a few <5 min. Premiere Pro projects originally shot in 1920 X 1080 HD, but all the codecs I've tried in Premiere when exporting (Uncompressed AVI, Quicktime Animation, MPG2, JPG2000) result in 35-60GB files. I would not know what to do with such files. The Windows Media codec works great for exporting to Youtube as it comes to less than 200-300MB and often much less. But for getting that lossless "Export to DV" - equivalent quality setting that is no longer available due to the nature of digital SD cards camcorders, I'm at a loss (no pun intended).
A friend working on a MAC recently gave me a copy of a 10 min. short he'd shot at a same resolution. His Apple avi size was under 4GB!
I understand there is the infamous 442 Apple codec that is not made for PC that I think he used. BUT... Is there some similar configuration I can use with the existing codecs in Premiere to archive my films without all that size?
Is part of the answer in using MPEG Streamclip to shrink the 40-60GB files?
OR, are there codes I can buy if they're not in Premiere to achieve this 4-5GB per 5min. of video goal of mine?
And why doesn't Apple offer that 442 for Windows!
Thanks!

If you select the HDTV 1080 preset (with whatever framerate matches your project) and the Mpeg2 output, your 5 minute project should be around 500 to 900 mb’s. My 30 second spots using these settings are around 68 mb’s and it’s beautiful Full HD.
