What HD format to export?
Hi,
I am an animation editor working for a virtual reality architectural animation company. I get in-house animation sequences at full HD res, 1920×1080, and in an image sequence format, usually jpeg. I use Premiere Pro CS3 for editing.
After I import the image sequence, what format should I use to export the raw video files created from these image sequences?
I will use these video files later to edit the final movie together. I also need to back them up in archives for at least 10 years for possible future changes.
I noticed that 1 minute of uncompressed Avi, without recompression and at 1920×1080 resolution is about 9 GB in size! Should I work in uncompressed Avi for editing and back ups? or is there a better way to do this?Thanks,

If I were you, and the 10 year deal is real, then I would probably export as an image sequence regardless of the size. You are more likely to be able to import it into future products.

What is the final output? Is this for HD Broadcast or the Web? You can use HDV or XDCAM or DVCProHD (p2) to get smaller files sizes in HD. Definitely Archive as images sequences.

Have you considered the “Visually Lossless” Cineform Prospect 4k?
