  • ProRes Export Question

    Posted by Chris Anderson on September 6, 2008 at 3:12 pm

    My project mainly consists of HDV 1920×1080 60i so my sequence settings are HDV but set to render in ProRes. All the After Effects graphics are being rendered as ProRes 1440×1080.

    For one chroma key segment, I shot in DVCPRO HD 1080 60i. I was planning on exporting a movie and importing back into the HDV sequence so I wouldn’t have to keep rendering. Should I use the ProRes 1920×1080, ProRes 1440×1080 or the AJA Kona ProRes 1920×1080 size. The rendering time is about 8hrs so i want to get it right.

    Thanks for the help,
    -Chris

    To avoid further rendering try to export with the size AND THE PIXELS ASPECT of your sequence. If your sequence is already 1920×1080 Square pixels, use those same settings.

    Probably 1440.

    Do a 1 second test first.

    If you’re keying within FCP and using a 1440 timleine, just export @ current settings.
