Exporting video to AE
After capturing video in Premiere Pro CS3, what is the proper way to get that footage or a segment of the footage into After Effects CS3? I’ve been exporting a timeline of the footage I want to use as Uncompressed AVI but that takes down the video quality considerably. I think I’m doing it wrong. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Uncompressed AVI should give you just that, uncompressed.
I prefer Quicktime Animation at 100% as the file sizes are a little smaller. Uncheck any keyframing options.

Hey Vince a question for you, Just making sure, I exported with your setting and my movie doesn’t want to play. The file is 12.6gigs and about 4 minutes long. The video plays for a little then stops. Seems like a ram thing. I have 4 gigs of ram.

Hi Melissa,
It’s likely a CPU issue or a hard drive that can’t keep up (USB external drives wouldn’t be fast enough for example)
As an alternative you could also export QT Motion Jpeg, which is a little compressed but nothing you will likely notice. QT PNG is one more option, all three will give you very high quality.
The files for the 2 last ones are a bit more manageable.
What is your CPU(s) ? What are the drive speeds?

The 4 minute file is about 12.6 gigs. The original media was in mxf format p2 card footage. I am running a intel quad core and my computer has 3 sata raided drives. graphics card ati radeon 3870.

Well that answers the hardware part, similar to what we are running. Have you tried the other formats ?

Other formats seem to work fine. Thank you for your help.
