No Codec Options for Animation Export From Premiere Pro CS5
I just installed CS5 Master Collection on my Mac Pro (OS 10.5.8) and am having a problem exporting an Animation with Alpha from Premiere Pro.
When I choose Export, then select Media, then select QuickTime, then select Animation for the video codec, the Codec Settings box is grayed out. Also, when I choose the Animation Codec, I have no way of changing the size of the exported video, either. The output is showing 720×480, instead of the full 1440 x 1080 size of the original sequence, and there is no option available to change the size. Am I missing something?
I’ve tried exporting directly out of Premiere. I’ve also tried putting it in the render cue through the Adobe Media Encoder. I see the same issue in both methods.
I’d like to use the Ultra plugin in Premiere for my green screen keying (because it’s so stinking easy to use), then export the keyed clips, including Alpha to an Animation file with Millions of Colors +. I can then take that file into Final Cut (my preferred editing system) for further editing. Can’t seem to find a way to do it other than exporting a PNG sequence, which gives me aspect ratio problems in the final file.
Any solutions?

try making your premiere sequence an after effects comp and export through there

Nope, I’ve got the same problem with my haunt and Halloween is on its way…. Why do they do this to us. They know we use this to do intermediate renders of effects. And the guy suggesting moving it After Effects… Ugh. Adobe fix the bugs and stop pulling features out.
My solution is going to be to go back to CS3 for this render…. Argh!
