Lossless Export
Hi all.
I tried this yesterday, but didnt get any bites, so Ill try again with another heading.
I must admit, I dont use Premiere much, as I have an Avid on my workststion. But I have found that the workflow with P2 is smoother with Premiere using the Media Browser.
Anyway, here is my problem. Im using CS4, and the After Effects doenst like AVC-I 100 files. When I edit a sequence in Premiere, then open the Premiere project in AE, it wont (cant) read the footage material.
So I want to export the file as an uncompressed quicktime to use in AE.
I select the sequence, export it into Media Encoder, and set it up so…
Quicktime, 1920×1080, animation codec, best quality (100%), upper feild first, square pixels, 24 bit and then I export.
The exported film is nowhere near the quality of the raw footage. Its much softer. The colour is not bad, but the contrast and sharpness is not up to scratch.
What am I doing wrong? Can anyone suggest an export setting that will get my footage AVC-I 100 into AE without taking a big quality hit?
I know I should upgrade, the company I work for is waiting for Cloud.
Thanks in advance

Animation (as it’s name implies) is not meant for video, which could be the source problem you’re having.
Try Uncompressed or AVID 1×1, (which you’ll probably need to download from avid, it installs with the DNxHD quicktime codecs)
