When I export from PP CS 5.5 my movies look weird. Any support greatly appreciated.
This question is Not Answered.(Mark as assumed answered)
Hi I’m hoping someone may be able to help me.
I have used final cut pro for years but as a result of becoming totally disenchanted with the latest version, FCPX I have swapped over to premier pro CS 5.5. I really like it. However I am unsure about why my exported video is not playing properly..
By that I mean when it plays back as a .mov file it has ‘glitches’ in it. It jumps and flickers and has what look like thick stripes appear on it from time to time.
I am by no means an expert so I will try and describe my process as best I can.
my computer is a Mac 5. I use snow leopard. My version of Premiere is new and legit!
I am editing a video for a client. The video was shot in XDCAM – Sony.
I transferred the footage to my computer via the Sony software XD CAM transfer. It converted it to .mov files.
I imported these in to Premiere.
I edited as usual.
When it came to exporting the file this is where I get a bit lost.
In FCP I would always export a QuickTime file to a set size.
I have tried exporting this movie in the ‘Quicktime format’ ‘Video’ codec. It looked terrible.
I then tried the HVR 1080p30 codec..it looked terrible.
Now I am trying the XD CAM HD 1080p30 codec thinking perhaps that’s what I am supposed to do, and then I convert that via the Sony software to a regular QuickTime?
I’m sorry if I sound stupid!
I have not edited XDCAM footage before so I’m really not sure what to do.
I really appreciate if someone could help me out.
Thanks.

One thing that threw me when I first started exporting with Premiere was that I didn’t actually notice the scroll bar in the export window…
When you export, select Format:Quicktime. Don’t worry about the preset.
The go down to the video tab and select your desired codec. You’ll notice that the preset now says “Custom.” Then, use the scrollbar to the right of the video tab and you’ll get all the options you usually get with FCP. Because the settings are defaulted to whatever the preset was (which is not what you want), you need to manually change the framerate, frame size, etc etc etc. to get what you want.
I’m assuming you’re on a mac so a good export codec would be ProRes…
