How can I get better quality when epxorting from Premiere Pro?
Hi.
I created a 10second motion graphics sequence in After Effects and exported it as a high quality Quicktime movie. I then dropped it in to Premiere (CS4)to work on the audio but I can’t find any export settings that will give me as good quality results as the quicktime codec I used in AE. The quicktime codec in prem pro comes out a lot lower quality than AE and seemingly in 4:3 rather than 16:9…
I’ve tried exporting it as an uncompressed .AVI but then VLC can’t play it (“No suitable decoder module: VLC does not support the audio or video format “undf orv210”. Unfortunately there is no way for you to fix this).
This same problem has tripped me up in the past and I’m sure there’s a simple explanation for it so thought it was about time I understood what’s going on! So if anyone has any suggestions or explanations for me I’d be extremely grateful!
Thanks.
Stuart.

I would export it as a tiff sequence from AF instead of a QuickTime.

Thanks for the advice.
Could I ask why you’d chose this option? The quicktime codec works and looks great so what benefit would a tiff sequence offer?
Still no clearer about the quality when exporting from premiere though…
Thanks.

When I used to work for FX firm in 2001 the would always send me a tiff sequence from After Effects. When I asked why they said it produced high quality outputs but that was 2001.
Since it was only 10sec clip I recommended it because I assumed it was the quality coming into Premiere wasn’t high enough to produce higher quality output.I’ve just started to use After Effects again and first time with Premiere.
Since it seems to be a Premiere Output issue have you tried different codec for output?

The quality coming out of AE is perfect, it’s just coming out of Premiere thats the problem.
Ive tried numerous codecs with no luck. I then tried exporting it as an uncompressed AVI but that wouldn’t play with any media player I tried (VLC, Windows media player etc)I’ve gotten around it by simply sorting all my audio in premiere then copy and pasting into back into AE but that cant be the best way to sort it surely!?
