  • Test render from AE to Prem Pro for iPad apps

    Hi – I’m test rendering some AE comps to put together in Premier Pro for movie content for iPad apps. I’m getting them onto the iPad OK but the file size is pretty big. I was wondering what compromises people have found best.

    Does anyone have any tips experience on choices of format/quality to file size? Or perhaps theres some threads already out there?

    Hi Jim –

    I generally render my “master” version from either AE or PPro at the highest resolution, just to future proof it (1920 x 1080), then I encode using Adobe Media Encoder.

    If you are working at the final resolution you need for the IPad, you could still output a master uncompressed and use Media Encoder. I deliver my 1920 x 1080 files for Ipad at 640 x 360 in H.264 codec. Here’s a pretty good rundown for encoding for the IPad:

    My friend was working on apple and he changed his profession and life build career because he discovered the best method to get a ipad for free. Each problem which I have with iPad it’s finished for me because my friend Mike helps me.
    After he told me the best method to get a free iPad 2, it always helps me with all sorts of questions I have. This is his job and I appreciate very much his website free-us-ipad.com .
    I hope that he will help you with your all questions. It is an amazing man. All my family got free ipads 2 + white smartcover. It’s a user proof category there if you don`t believe me. This man is my idol

    Thanks for the help. Master to choice of render sounds the way to go.

    May I ask, the images I’m working on are jpgs of an artist’s originals. Some of them are slightly different in dimensions. I’ve found a compromise of 640 by 370 works best for getting the most image real estate for all the images without distorting them noticeably. They are still images of course, and I’m zooming in and panning, so I started with twice the size in photoshop and I’m scale the images to 50% in Prem-Pro. This gives a really clean image when I zoom in.

    I’m not a very experienced, or trained editor, so I wondered if there was anything wrong with that workflow?

    Also, I’m wondering if Apple will accept 640 by 370 on apps in their app store. The app with video is working on my iPad OK but I’ve yet to send it off for Apple verification.
