  • PP CS4 + Sorenson Squeeze 5 Workflow?

    Posted by Clint Milner on September 8, 2009 at 9:34 am

    Hi All,

    Just wondering what the best workflow is when using Premiere CS4 and Sorenson Squeeze 5.

    Almost everything will be out of a PPro sequence.

    I do mostly DVD authoring, maybe a few Blu-ray, but I’m just looking for an alternative to the Adobe Media Encoder.

    I’ve downloaded a trial of Squeeze and if I can get some good results, I’ll purchase it, but so far I’m not finding it easy.

    Any help would be great!

    Kind Regards,
    Clint

    Getting any quality benefit from using Squeeze is going to involve exporting an intermediate file from Premiere that is loseless like Microsoft Uncompressed or QT Animation. Either will be huge files for a DVD, like hundreds of gigs, but for Blu-ray the file sizes will be…well my calculator doesnt go that high!
    If you are looking for a step up from AME, look at Main Concept HD plug-in for Premiere CS4. I used the version for CS3 and it worked great and much faster than AME.

    Hi Mike,

    Thanks for the suggestions. I’ll look into any known incompatibilities of MainConcept and my Matrox card, and may be upgrading in the near future.

    Kind Regards,
    Clint
