importing from After Effects

Posted by Michael Duff on May 15, 2005 at 1:36 am

Hi,
I’ve just installed Premiere 1.5 and am using it for the first time. I am a long time AE user. I rendered out a 1 minute clip from AE as a quicktime animation codec but Premiere doesn’t seem to import quicktime???? Is this for real? Surely I am missing something..maybe I have not installed a specific component or something.

What process do you guys normally take in getting from AE to Premiere. Most of my AE clips will be about 1 minute long.

Cheers

Premiere Pro likes Quicktime Animation codec just fine. Perhaps you need to install Quicktime 6 on your system>

I have quicktime 6.5.1 –

Premiere just isn’t recognising the .mov files. When i expand the file types option in the import screen it doesn’t have an option for quicktimes….

I have Quicktime Pro. Perhaps that is required before you can import Quicktime files. I have had it so long I really don’t know. However, my Premiere Pro 1.5.1 imports Quicktimes just fine.

Are you exporting the files as quick time references by any chance? Also, quicktime has a variety of settings. What are your export settings from AE?

well…..in the render queue I’ve got:

Render settings – BEST SETTINGS – (my comp is PAL 768×576 square pixel)

Output module: Format – quicktime movie
Output info: Animation Compressor, spatial quality high 100%
Embeddind OFF
RGB
Millions of colours
premultiplied
44.1K /16bit/stereo

I’m sure my setting are correct. Except I didn’t interlace the footage because it is all made from graphics. I always use this setting at work and it is fine (Pinnacle Liquid Silver…..argh). Premiere just isn’t seeing any .mov files.

If I can’t solve this what other options do I have for rendering out at “almost” lossless?
