EXPORT Film as RGB24 or YUY2
I am frame-serving a project to ProCoder to create a Mpeg-2 file and there are 3 possibilities: to export as RGB24, RGB32, and YUY2…
Now I seem to remember that PremPro natively works in RGB24, is this right? So it would seem that would be best… But then again I think I’ve heard that YUY2 colour-space offers other advantages…
or is it all just splitting hairs/who-care-if-it-works?
The original material was SD…So could one of the rocket-scientists give me the low-down on the extra-special best-way-to-go?
thanks and
greetings,ninetto

My guess only, but as MPEG 2 is y cb cr the least amount of re-sampeling you do to the y channel, the better. I would choose the YUV24 out of premiere. Are you using the Pro coder plug in from within Premiere? The other option would be to test a couple of samples using a couple of gradiated ramps with separate luma and chroma characteristics, and maybe add some moving grid lines in Premiere. You could make the elements it in PS easily.

Thanks for the post, Gene.
I will give the tests you suggested a try. I am using ProCoder 2 which doesn’t have a plug-in for PremPro 2. I guess version 3 must have one, but I don’t know what an upgrade will cost.
So I am using an open-source frame-server.
When/if I have results, will post back.best regards,
