Activity Forums Adobe Premiere Pro render without recompressing

  • render without recompressing

    So I know how to do this in FCP7, but I’m trying to learn/switch to Premiere. I just don’t quite have a handle on the exact render settings to know how to do this:

    I have several video files that are perfect as-is, except that the audio needs to be normalized. So I’m basically just trying to re-render an existing movie file that has had nothing done to it except that the audio has been normalized. I know how to do everything (or maybe I don’t…see steps below), except I don’t know the proper render settings to use so that the video won’t be re-compressed when I render.

    Here’s what I’ve done:

    1. Import file
    2. New Sequence from Clip
    3. Audio Gain > Adjust Max Peak to 0 dB
    4. Export
    5. set export settings

    …this is where I run into trouble. When I check Match Sequence Settings, it changes the Output Summary to something that doesn’t even resemble the Source Summary – including resolution & frame rate. It also changes the extension to .mxf, which is not ideal in this case. I would try to set the export settings manually, but I’m afraid that any slight deviation will result in the video being re-compressed.

    Any thoughts? Thanks!
