What format to export Premiere Pro nested clips from Media encoder? So they are ready to be put back into premiere pro and haven’t lost any quality?
Hi I have a premiere pro cs5.5 project that I’m going to export as a XML for Final Cut. But the project includes some time remapping which effects won’t get transported to FCP so I’m Nesting the time remapped clips and then putting them in Media Encoder and encoding them to put back into the Premere Pro sequence so then I can export as a XML so the time remapping get transported to FCP but what format do I export the Nested clips from Media Encoder so they are just like the original MOV files with the same quality?
Please Help!

Depending on which codecs are available and the dimensions of your sequence, ProRes, DNxHD, AVC-Intra, GoPro Cineform, or uncompressed DPX are good choices. The 4:4:4 varieties are lower risk, but might be overkill depending on your requirements. PNG and JPEG2000 image sequences are viable alternatives but have higher risk of color conversion artifacts. Uncompressed 10-bit 4:2:2 YUV is another option.
Regardless of the codec, it is a good idea to check your footage in the YC Waveform and RGB Parade scopes to ensure all levels are between 0-100 IRE. Otherwise, out-of-range values might be clamped during the encoding process.
