Thank you very much. After few experimental renderings i decided to use Lagarith as intermediate.

About interlacing – that was my first thought to export everything in same format as shot.

I was afraid of this:)

So, what do you suggest?

Since I first wrote this topic i’ve made some searching i tried Lagarith codec.
What do you think of that? Is it worth using? I compared still frame from raw HDV with frame recompressed with Lagarith and with frame compressed wit QT Animation set to 100%. I think there is no noticable difference. And Lagarith file is way smaller then QT Animation, not to mention Uncompressed AVI.

Is there anything i should know about Lagarith before i begin to use it in my work? Any known problems or drawbacks?

And i think final question: should i export interlaced in Lagarith or progresive? I think interlaced with upper first, because that’s how HDV is coded.

I have Premiere and After Effects CS4.

I work on Intel Core2 Quad 2,4GHz with 4GB Ram.

I was thinking about Dynamic Link, but to be honest i don’t really know how to use it:)

Say, I have edited sequence in Premiere, and i want to put it to AE to edit it further and then back to Premiere to put it in another sequences so i can export it to Blu-Ray all together.

Once I’ve succeeded to send sequence to AE, but after color correcting it I wasn’t able to put it back to Premiere. I got some kind of error, can’t remember what it said exactly but it was something about that Dynamic Link is one way only and i can’t put it back since I already sent it the other way.
