CS5.5 NDxHD codec always exports at 1080 res
Hi,
Am making the jump from FCP to Premier, since I leaned that there is an FCP 7.0 shortcuts preset.
Fantiastic! – Small learning curve.It’s all good, however, when I try to export a video using Avids NDxHD codec, making a 1080 res input and creating a 720p or 640×360 output, it always exports at 1080. Infact, the resolution is right, but it stretches the pixels to a 1920×1080 res.
If you open the exported 640×360 in Quicktime player, and select ‘Actual size’ it makes it 1080 res.
I’ve included a grab of my settings.

DNxHD is only an HD codec. 1080 or 720 in Avid.

You can’t even export in 720 inside Premiere?! That’s mental…..

I can export DNxHD 1280 x 720 just fine. What are your “Codec Settings”. I think that has to be set for the frame size you want too.

Yes, you need to set the Codec Settings to match. That’s why you’re getting the weird scaling. It has something to do with the fact that the DNxHD codecs are being used through quicktime.
What’s happening to your currently is that PP is passing a correctly sized video to Quicktime, which is encoding it at 1080 regardless of the incoming signal. The “Codec Settings” button brings up a quicktime dialog box where you can tell quicktime what your want.
Basically, you need to tell both quicktime and Premiere Pro what you want separately, cause they don’t talk to each other.
