Exporting for Telestream Episode
I made the FCP to PP switch a while back, but one part of my workflow I still have not translated well is my export settings for encoding. In FCP I would have sent my ProRes files out matching my sequence settings, take that file into Episode and encode it. But now I skip ProRes and just edit my raw files in Premiere (AVCHD – MPEG-4, AVC/H.264) but I’m not sure what to export so I keep it “lossless” before going into Episode Pro.
I have tried “Match Sequence Settings” but it outputs an MPEG file that Episode won’t read. So usually I will just send out an H.264 file and send that to the encoder. Is that my best option to use until the rumored Episode Plugin comes out, or is there a better way? Thanks.

I export from Premiere as Pro Res, just as I did before with FCP.

Do you edit in ProRes as well?

Match sequence setting exports in the format you have chosen for your sequence preview renders. You can setup Prores as the main format for a sequence if you do a loot of preview renders, this will allow you to export including reuse of the rendered parts. Prores is a great Master format if you choose to go to Episode.

[Jeff Breuer] “Do you edit in ProRes as well?”
no, just camera native files.

OK, so just edit my AVCHD native files in a ProRes sequence and then do a “Match Settings” export for Episode. I was concerned about creating more generation loss by doing that, but now that I think of it, that wouldn’t be any worse than when I would re-wrap my files into ProRes for edit in FCP.
Thanks!

no, edit avchd in an avchd sequence. (much smoother, quicker that way as quicktime is 32bit only)
when your all done, export as a prores file.

OK. A little slow, got it now. Thanks for your help!
