Activity Forums Adobe Premiere Pro Exporting .MOV files with CS5

  • Exporting .MOV files with CS5

    Posted by Stef Hoffer on March 15, 2011 at 6:42 pm

    Hello everyone,

    I’m hitting problems every day in my attempt to output quality video, and I’m also learning every day. I guess that’s a good balance for now.

    At this point I’m stuck, however, while trying to export high quality .MOV files with Adobe Premiere Pro CS5. I really hope that I’m doing something wrong in the settings, or else the issue might be difficult to solve.

    The original footage is M2TS/AVCHD and it is being exported fine using .MPG or a few other formats. For this particular project I need .MOV files, preferably in Photo-JPEG format. After export the (huge) files look distorted, particularly when there is movement in the shot. The quality is also far off from what it should be. Having searched the internet for the right settings or other causes of the problem found me nowhere so far.

    I hope someone here is able to help me out, thanks in advance.

    Best regards,
    Stef

    I export all kinds of formats (I’m on a Mac) to Prores and H.264 MOVs via AME and it works well. I haven’t yet tried MJeg. Would Prores work for your application?

    Hi Keith, thanks for your reply. I haven’t been able to try ProRes yet, and can’t find it in my export format list either.

    However, it seems the issue is not the actual export, but the compatibility of Quicktime and WMP. If I import the .MOV file that I created back into Premiere it actually looks fine, whereas QT/WMP both play the file distorted.

    Do you think this means the file is actually OK but the playback function in both QT & WMP can’t handle it?

    Is this field based material? Are you seeing field tears in the motion on a progressive computer display? That would be normal.
    Can you export as deinterlaced?

    Hi Brian,

    It actually seems like you solved the mystery! I did get to see field tears in the material exporting the way I did. It’s possible to export deinterlaced and after doing that (plus rendering) the clips play fine in QT.

    Thanks for your help!

    Best regards,
    Stef
