Exporting from Prp

Hi Todd, thanks… here are the screen grabs – there is only “Quicktime” listed, no “Quicktime components” as with FCP, and in AME there are only DV options for quicktime:

Yes this got me as well. If you keep Quicktime as the Format, go to Preset and select Custom. Then furthur down under the Video tab there is a drop down under Video Codec. I think you will find what you are looking for right there.

Hi Tom, thanks.

Adobe, WOW this is bad user interface design.
“Custom…” is not there, so you can’t select it.
The user must take a leave from logic, select a format they do not want (DV), and then must click on the codec lower down and alter that, then… Custom… appears above.

Surely in the list of Presets it should have New… or Custom… up front so you know what you are doing, and then the user will know they are not going down the wrong path. I would never have guessed that to make a preset that is NOT a DV preset, I HAVE to first select a DV preset… bizarre.

Also, when you finally get to be making your preset, because you selected a DV preset, ALL the parameters must be changed manually, pixel aspect, frame size, field domination etc… There really should at least be 720p and 1080 presets. or a wizard which when you press Custom… it pops up asking HD, SD, 720, 1080 etc…

I agree Mark. Please make a feature request. Adobe cares what we think and is listening.

You’re overcomplicating it a bit. You don’t need to select a preset at all. It’s as simple as choosing QuickTime as the format and then choosing a video codec from the Video Codec menu toward the bottom of the dialog box.

Hi Todd,

Yeah, one can do that, if you know you can do that…
But as it stands, the interface is very confusing, right at the top it gives you a choice of DV formats to choose from, why would it do that if that is unnecessary and so prominent.

But thanks, now I know how to do it, but it does need some UI work!

cheers,
Mark.
