Ideal Project Settings for TV Commercial needed
If I create a new project in Premiere Pro CS4 using existing 16×9 DV Files what are the highest quality settings I can use for my project.
I want to create and render titles and use color correction in Premiere that is of the highest quality possible.
I need to render out two versions.
1) Whatever the best quality is that I can give to a Post House so they can create whatever filetype or tape or disk I need for TV Stations to broadcast the commercial.
2) Also render in the highest quality possible for Vimeo (or You Tube).
What I am confused about is – should I select HD Project Settings of some sort so that Premiere’s Titles will render in HD even if the source footage is only DV?
What are the best export settings to accomplish those two renders above.
Thanks a lot,
-Andy

well if space isnt an issue, you could go lossless with uncompressed .avi and avoid the compression problems. if space is any issue, MPEG-2 with the correct bitrates. as far as youtube/vimeo, use h.264

to answer your question, if you have 16:9 DV, edit as a 16:9 DV sequence. If you bring 16:9 DV into an HD sequence and scale to frame size it is going to look like rubbish. If you have the specs for the broadcaster that will tell you what you need to do. However if the local station requires HD spots, you may be SOL. However most local stations in my area flip flop from HD to SD spots, and just play the SD spot out the HD feed.
Report back with specs and we can help.
