Exporting Questions

[Craig Howard]

should I go the other route and export my 6 min intro in AE and import
it into Premiere to add it before my video I’ve created in Premiere
which will then be exported and then imported into a DVD authoring
program?
>>>>>Export from AE and import it into Premiere ( especially for that length of project)

Also,
What format does the intro need to be when exporting from AE and
brought into Premiere?
>>>>>>Same as the Project. (DVavi lossless will be the best you can acheive)

What format does the video need to be when exporting from Premiere and
brought into AE?
>>>>>>Same as the project ( DVavi un compressed will be best)

Should there be compression settings when exporting?
>>>>>>Better to not use compression (Do not recompress is the setting)

Sorry to blast ya with all these redundant questions. I’m just finding
it hard to find the answers to my questions. There are so many export
options and different format choices to choose from. I’m just not sure
what I’m supposed to do after I’m finished with the video and want to
bring it into a DVD authoring program to burn a master DVD to give to
the duplication studio.

>>>>>Once you have a finished ( rendered ) movie. Ask your duplication house how they want it. It will be a huge (massive) file and you will have to find a way to get it to them.

When exporting from After Effects. I see the options AVI., DV Stream., and MPEG-4., and a few others. So should I export it as a AVI. file? If so, the AVI video settings have DV/DVCPRO-NTSE , None and a few others. What should it be set to?

Also, what would these other export options (AVI., DV Stream., and MPEG-4.) be used for as well as the video settings?

Thanks so much..

Also, when exporting from AE it should be set to best quality correct?

Thanks for all the help Craig.

Can I export my complete video from Premiere into an avi un-compressed format and bring that avi file into an DVD authoring program or does it have to be a MPEG-2 file that’s brought into a DVD authoring program?

[Craig Howard]

Yes – there are a lot of options for exporting from AE.

The trick is to match the project settings (AE & PremPro) and hopefully you set up the project settings with something appropriate to your end use in the first instance.

I do everything DV avi (lossless/uncompressed/best quality)including export final movie. I make other media ( QTime etc) from the fully rendered movie.

A lot of the options you mention are compressed in some way or other.

Might depend on the authoring program but I just drag the avi file in and let the authoring program code it. Possibly there are better (quicker) ways but it works for me.
