How to I export the best quality AE footage to Premiere Pro?
Hi there,
Just was working on a video slideshow project for an election candidate and I noticed that when I converted the AE intro footage into Quicktime MPG (I think) it turned out on TV as if the footage experienced generation loss. How can I export the best quality AE footage to Premiere Pro (so I can add photos and make a default sequence out it after) and which method is the best ? Thanks.

Export using apple animation codec. Pretty much lossless. Make sure the aspect ratio matches your ppro project as well.
But why export, just open the AE project directly from PPro. Then choose the comp to add to your timeline. No render needed.

Oh I see….. thanks…. the problem is that I have AE CS3 right now and Premiere Pro 2.0….. and I tried exporting it to Premiere but it doesn’t show or work somehow. Does it have anything to do with the version of the software?

You have to render first.
Composition > Make Movie
Go into the render queue and set it with the proper settings. THen import the quicktime file to PP.

Oh cool, thanks alot! Although when I render it, it’s just in avi format… is that correct? Just also wondering what are the best settings for widescreen TV’s and projector screens? Thanks.

Format is going to depend on what you are trying to do. But a safe bet when you are trying to preserve quality is usually Quicktime with Animation Compression.
However it takes up a lot of space and there are other lossless or near lossless codecs that you can use.
