Export CS4 sequence to Quicktime 1920x1080i
I’m trying to get a short transferred to HDCAM for exhibition purposes. We shot on a Sony HDR-FX1HDV (1080p), and used 1440x1080p as the project settings in Premiere Pro CS4.
The film lab told me to export the short to Quicktime; they will use that file to make the HDCAM tape.
The problem is that I cannot find export media settings that will allow me to export to Quicktime in 1920x1080i, which is the preferred settings of the film lab.
The lab listed the following as preferred settings, in order of best to worst:
1920x1080i 59.94 .mov
1920x1080p 23.94 .mov
1440x1080i DVCProHD .mov
1280x720pI need to know what settings to use in Export Media to get me to any of these, and after trying every possible setting for Quicktime, I could only get to 720×480.
Any help will be VERY MUCH appreciated!
PS – Yes – I have Quicktime installed on my PC!

You need to make them yourself.
Select NTSC DV, then select the Video Codec and set it to H.264.
Now you can adjust the setting to your liking. -
Ann, thank you VERY much. My next option was to kick my computer until it worked, so I really appreciate the feedback. I’ll follow your instructions tonight and post the results tomorrow morning!

Unfortunately, the suggestion didn’t work, and I let two other people with CS4 try as well – still nothing useable. NTSC DV is out of the question – I need the file to create an exhibition version of a short film in HDCAM.
According to the Film Lab, I MUST Export to quicktime, and the options in Premiere (as far as I can tell) for Quicktime are extremely limited.
I understand I can manually adjust to 1920×1080, but the quality is at low quality.
I shot in 1440x1080p; can someone provide step by step instructions on what to select in Export Media to export to Quicktime in either 1920×1080 or 1440×1080?
If not,

Don’t really get why a serious Postprod co. would not take a format close to your native editing and transfer that to tape… but ok.
You could of course just export uncompressed form CS4 in your native resolution, and if it really just has-to has-to must-absolutely-be a quicktime wrapper, then just import your avi into your Quicktime Pro, and then export it using exactly the codec and resolution your “lab” is demanding from you. You can set all these in the EXPORT/VIDEO/CODEC menu of Quicktime Pro.
good luck, ninetto
