Problem Rendering an Uncompressed File

[Todd Kopriva]

You can export to ProRes in a QuickTime container as logn as you have the ProRes codecs installed.

Karl Soule gives a lot of detail about ProRes files and Premiere Pro here.

Thank you, Todd!
I think this is some information that should be published stronger, because PPro appears like “only” working with compressed codecs, because of missing presets with codecs like ProRes or even “8bit uncompressed/10bit uncompressed”.
Hopefully in the near future the collaboration with Blackmagic and Aja cards will be better. Right now I see FCP7 is working better with my Decklink cards.

PP does indeed support uncompressed formats, quite a number of them.

Since you were asked for a quicktime, here’s what you do.

File > Export > Media…

in Export settings select “Quicktime”

In the Video tab, Video codec, Select Uncompressed 10Bit, (it’ll be near the bottom).

[Rafael Metz]

Yes, I know that export way you describe.

My thoughts are more a general thought. PPro offers a load of sequence settings but they are all about compressed formats (XDCam, AVC, DSLR settings, …to name a few).
There is nothing “uncompressed” like I´ve mentioned before. I know, I can build my own settings, but I wonder why there are no uncompressed presets at all.

[John-michael Seng-wheeler]

I was more responding to the original poster, Should have replied directly to him guess.

I would say that the reason that there are no uncompressed presets is because unless you have a SDI card, you’re very, very unlikely to be editing uncompressed.

What do you edit that uncompressed formats matter to you?

[Rafael Metz]

Oh, I´m sorry – got that wrong!

I do loads of stuff that is projected on really large screens – we need to keep the quality during the workflow as high as possible and so there is the demand for uncompressed workflows (settings/options).

[Todd Kopriva] “You can export to ProRes in a QuickTime container as logn as you have the ProRes codecs installed.”

Important caveat:
IF you are working on a Mac. Unfortunately, we Windows users cannot export to ProRes. Maybe some day… Importing ProRes works just fine, though.

True, Jeff. I suppose that that wasn’t clear from my post. You can’t even install such encoders on Windows, I believe.

Looks like I forgot to mention that I’m on a Windows PC. When I look through the export settings. I go to Format: Quicktime. After that I look throught codec options but only see 10-Bit YUV Uncompressed 4:2:2. Is this in anyway similar to 10-Bit HD Uncompressed?
