Please assist with exporting options

Posted by Steven Prebble on September 13, 2012 at 4:06 pm

I posted recently about one of my music videos is to be aired on UK tv music channels. I was originally told Apple pro res and I asked about this option on here as I’m not a MAC user so this option wasn’t easy for me to do. During my post on here I was told any hd format would do.
They were wrong. Now I’ve been sent this….

for TV we need the following format type
Video codec format

Apple ProRes, Apple ProRes (HQ), Avid DNxHD, DVCPRO HD or similar
Resolution

1920×1080 or 1280×720
Bit rate

Depends on the video codec format (40 to 100Mbps)
Scan type

Progressive
Frame rate (FPS)

29,97 / 30 / 60

Audio codec format

PCM little signed
Bit rate

1536 kbps
Channels

2
Sampling rate

44,1 or 48 KHz (depends on video codec preset)

In case this is simply not available: as uncompressed as possible :o)

I found the apple pro res rather tricky and alot of this I don’t fully understand. If someone could help me with this then it would save my backside!!!!!

Thankyou so much!

1) Download https://avid.force.com/pkb/articles/en_US/Download/en392959 and install.

2) In Premiere, go to File>Export>Media…

3) Select Quicktime as format, ignore preset.

4) In the video tab, select Avid DNxHD as your codec

5) Hit the Codec Settings button. A new window will pop up, select 709 color, no alpha, and in the Resolution drop down, look at the options that match your resolution. If you have progressive material like 1080p30 then select the doubled interlaced rate if there is not a progressive setting, ie: if my video is 1080p30, I would pick a preset for 1080i59.94. The presets are followed by a number like 220,185,45, etc, this is the bitrate. Select 220 or 185 or 175. An x following this number means 10-bit, you can ignore the settings with an X if this is going straight to delivery.

6) Hit ok. In the Premiere export window, make sure your other quicktime settings like framerate, resolution, etc match your footage

7) In the Premiere export window go to the audio tab and select uncompressed audio, 48,000hz, 16bit.

8) Export.

Thankyou so much for that!

My original footage is 25fps 1080 – so would picking 1080i 59.94 DNxHD 220 10bit be ok?

Also when I select this option and press OK and come back into premiers export settings, it is no longer progressive on the settings (which is what they asked for) and the frame rate is still saying 25.

Can you help with this please?
Many thanks!

No, select what matches your footage if you have it. The quicktime codec has 1080p25 at a bitrate of 185, select it.

When you go back to the export window, make sure everything still matches: 25fps, progressive, etc.
