Premiere Pro Rendering Codec
This is a bit of a continued question for several of us. I know when I was running Premiere several years back, that it was based on Quicktime. Then recently when Adobe stopped making it for Apple they switched to AVI as the base for editing. I’m concerned about this since several of us are seeing video quality issues with rendering. Downloading the upgraded codecs improves it some what, but not 100%. Is there anyway to use quicktime as rendering codec? Anybody know if 2.0 corrects this issue? Don’t want to upgrade if it doesn’t.
Correct me if I’m wrong about the codec changes in Premiere.

Adobe’s preview files (for DV) have been based on the AVI format since Premiere became Premiere Pro (PC Only).
With 2.0 what you now have is a new uncompressed format (AVI based) that renders in both SD (8 & 10bit) and HD (8 & 10bit), you can force render anything at 10bit or at 8bit, there is a check box for that. The DV preview file format is unchanged as far as I know. HDV preview format would be the Native HDV format used with capture. There is no way to render preview files using the quicktime codec.What the new Uncompressed SD codec allows you to do (for example), is take a DV project and import it into an SD/SDI (Uncompressed) project and render it uncompressed… And that is natively without any hardware, if you have hardware (AJA Xena HS or BMD) you could layback to DigiBeta (SDI) from the timeline.
