    Hi all.
    I must admit, I dont use Premiere much, as I have an Avid on my workststion. But I have found that the workflow with P2 is smoother with Premiere using the Media Browser.
    Anyway, here is my problem. Im using CS4, and the After Effects doenst like AVCHD files. When I edit a sequence in Premiere, then open the Premiere project in AE, it wont (cant) read the footage material.
    So I want to export the file as an uncompressed quicktime to use in AE.
    I select the sequence, export it into Media Encoder, and set it up so…
    Quicktime, 1920×1080, animation codec, best quality (100%), upper feild first, square pixels, 24 bit and then I export.
    The exported film is nowhere near the quality of the raw footage. Its much softer. The colour is not bad, but the contrast and sharpness is not up to scratch.
    What am I doing wrong? Can anyone suggest an export setting that will get my footage into AE without taking a big quality hit?
    I know I should upgrade, the company I work for is waiting for Cloud.
    Thanks in advance
    Simon

    A picture is only as good as the glass it comes through. And the person using the camera has something to do with it too.

    Sorry, I mean my footage is AVC-Intra 100, not AVCHD. If it makes a differance…
