Thanks Paul,

Yeah I can also do it even easier in FCP7, I was just curious as to whether or not it could be done in X.

thanks Dave,
that’s a great tip that I didn’t know. It’s just for archiving so no need to use the Matrox for that.

all the best guys,

thanks Jon,
I have a Matrox MX02le on my desktop suite but this was done on my laptop, which is standalone. How do I turn on the software only option?

All I’m looking to do is to create a final file for archiving, the same quality as the timeline. I only seem to get the option of making an mpeg file when I check the match sequence settings box and ideally I’d like a file that I can open in FCP7 when I need to. Any ideas on the best way to export from PPro 5.5? With FCP7 it was just a case of file-export-current settings and you had a .mov

Prores files are so large and I just don’t need them that big.

thanks for that Jon,
I’ve just tried a short export using an XDCAM EX codec and whilst the title sequence was ok the footage was all blue…!!!!

Any ideas what I was doing wrong? I changed the size to 1920 x 1080 and square pixels, apart from that left it as quicktime.

thanks
Nik

thanks for this Kevin, could you tell me how to do this?!?! From the premiere timeline, you click file – export and the only quicktime options are SD ones – how do you choose HD? You can keep it as the sequence but that just gives you an mpeg right?
Sorry to be a bit thick but I can’t see another option…

thanks in advance for your reply,
Nik

thanks guys, for all your ideas. I’ve tried them all (!) and I’m afraid to say that none of them work.

It’s clearly a field issue, as when I encode to pro-res SD first, before going to compressor to make a DVD with THAT file, there’s no field issue.

It must be something simple, surely? I’m not really sure where to go next though? Just to re-itereate, here’s my workflow:
XDCAM EX time line HD
Export – Quicktime current settings
Compressor – new job with file
Drag best quality DVD 90 mins onto clip – adjust to CBR at 6 bps
Change frame blending to ON
Output field same as source
De-intelace – better

Output to DVD

Any ideas guys? It’s becoming a real issue, as I simply can’t get a proper DVD from a HD timeline
thanks again,
Nik

Don,

That’s done it, many thanks! I just made sure field order was set to none and hey presto all is good! Sometimes it’s the small things that make big problems! Thanks again,
all the best
Nik
