Export setting in highest quality

Dear all, I am new in PE11 and I am looking for the best export setting in order to keep a clean and highest quality possible version of my movie. From that clean copy I will be able to create different versions (for youtube, DVD, PC, etc...). Any idea? Thanks for your help.

Welcome to the forum.
Will you be re-editing this material at any time? That can make a difference.
If so, I like outputting to a lossless CODEC, like Lagarith, or UT Lossless - both free. See this article: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4556586#4556586
The one drawback to such an intermediate is that the resulting file will have limited use, directly. It can be shared with others, for computer playback, but the recipient must have the same CODEC on their computer. For YouTube, Vimeo, DVD, etc., the lossless file will need to be Imported into a New Project, where it can be re-edited, but primarily to be output again, as is required for the intended delivery medium, i.e. YouTube, Vimeo, DVD-Video, etc.
For some general guidelines, see this article. Though written for PrPro, it covers all the high points for PrE: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/878590?tstart=0
Good luck,

    If it looks good on your tv it will look good at the cinema.
    The resolution will still be 720x480/576 if a dvd player is hooked up to the projector.

  • Does exporting "current" provide highest quality/size jpegs?

    What are the default settings of the "current" option in exporting photos from iPhoto? Is it the same as choosing jpeg at highest possible quality, best resolution, etc.? I would like to export my photos in iPhoto to an external drive and would like to preserve the highest quality jpeg size/format as originally imported into iPhoto from my camera. I understand that exporting as "original" would do this. However, I have created duplicates of photos and cropped them, and would like to preserve the cropping upon export. Exporting these cropped photos as "original" removes the cropping. Does exporting as "current" export the fullest size and highest quality jpeg possible (for the smaller/cropped image)?
    Thanks for advance for any clarification on this.

  • Is "export frame" the highest quality?

    Hi.  Sometimes I want to have a video clip freeze.  That is to say, the final product will have two or more frames that are identical, taken from a single frame of a movie clip.
    The way I've been doing this is using the Source or Program monitor to find the relevant frame, export it, and re-import it as a still.  Yet, it occurs to me that when watching videos in the Source or Program monitors, I am not watching the video at its highest quality.  When I finally render my product, I will render it at highest quality.  Does this cause a mis-match between the exported frame and my final product?
    When I "export frame", does Premiere take the time to render that frame at best possible quality?  Or am I just getting a preview-quality frame?
    Richard

    The exported/frame grabbed frame will be full quality. The lowered quality is for preview purposes only from within Premiere itself.  As long as you don't select .jpeg and stick with a lossless image format when you do a frame grab from within Premiere it will be full quality.

  • Export in the highest quality

    I have made a very complex presentation in Keynote with all kinds of shadows, exact positionings of images, backgrounds, reflections etc. I have noticed that if I export from within Keynote to Powerpoint in order to share this presentation it looks like crap. Images fall off, shadows dissapear etc.
    In order to share this presentation in the highest quality I would like to do this in Pdf format and then create a fullscreen version in Acrobat pro. Any other suggestions when the highest quality of the slides are indispensable? I would like to give the viewer the same booth like experience as Keynote at the best quality.
    Thanks

    Fernando-
    I'm currently, desperately trying to get my polished Keynote presentation exported as a QuickTime movie, and although the process completes and is successful the sound on the first 2 slides of my slideshow will not play in QuickTime. As a test I moved the first 2 slides to the back and sure enough, the same problem still exists (meaning it wasn't just the audio in those first 2 slides).
    Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance,

  • Export option for highest quality posting to Google video and YouTube

    I'm trying to figure out what the best export options are for posting video on Google Video and YouTube. My primary interest is skiing video with quick actions. Here are the 5 options I tried on my iMovie HD 6, the latest and the greatest:
    MPEG4, LAN

    You can get the whole list on each site with following URL
    http://video.google.com/videosearch?q=imovie-quality-comparison
    http://www.youtube.com/my_playlists?p=C0D08A3D961234E4
    Each video has cross reference URL in the description which link to the same video posted on other site.
    Currently my choice is "Quicktime, LAN, Deinterlace" on Google Video. Only thing I don't like is doubling of image for fast moving part, which somehow disappears if I reduce the size to 320x200, but then it is too blurry when displayed in full screen.
    None is usable on YouTube. They look horrible, but there are much better quality videos on YouTube.
    Since there are so many knobs to play around on each option, I'm at loss what to play around with. I did quick things like increasing the size to 720x480 or increasing the frame rate, but surprisingly, none seems to make any difference when filtered through their encoder.
    I like to solicit suggestions on what option to try. I'll export the same video with that options, upload it to both sites and we can take a look.

    Hi — I also found you via Slashdot. You've gone to a good amount of effort to solve this scientifically.
    I'm just here to say: Face it, you need to go past the built-in options. Here's what you need to know:
    1. YouTube is 320x240 (or 320 by anything lower, for widescreen). You must scale to that.
    2. YouTube is 30fps maximum, so if you already have that, set that. If you have 25 or 24, use that. If you have 50, it looks better with 25 (I've tried).
    3. The interlacing choice is purely up to your original video. Does it have 480 lines or 576 lines? And if so, does it have fluid "live camera" motion, unlike film? If your answer is yes to both, then you have interlacing. Since YouTube doesn't do interlacing, you need to remove it.
    4. Both YouTube and Google Video have a problem with the (seemingly open, standard) MP4 format. We think it's because of the VLC software they used. Anyway, use a QuickTime MOV file for the wrapping container, so export to QuickTime Movie (not MPEG-4). But use the H.264 codec. It's good.
    OK, that's it. It's your pretty complete, simple guide to making good YouTube videos.
    Don't forget to use a tripod and external microphones, and lay off using the zoom too much. That's my other advice, for earlier in the process. Now you've learnt everything technical The rest is only down to viral marketing and you can learn all that by example out on YouTube.

  • HELP! What are the settings to export with the highest quality (I will show my project in a cinema.)

    Hello,
    I have a project I will be showing at a local cinema, and I need to have the best possible quality for that......
    My source footage is SD, so I am exporting it as a MPEG2-DVD project, the first time I exported (with the default MPEG2-DVD settings) and burned it, it looked good (at least on my 34" TV) but I am not sure if that quality will be as good when projected on a cinema screen...
    So, what I need to know is, which of the MPEG2-DVD export settings I must change in order to get the quality I am looking for.....
    BTW I am using Adobe Premiere CS4 and the whole Creative Suite 4....
    Thanks in advance
    Al

    If it looks good on your tv it will look good at the cinema.
    The resolution will still be 720x480/576 if a dvd player is hooked up to the projector.

  • Highest Quality HD Export Setting

    Hi again. I've finished a project and want to export it in the absolute HIGHEST quality available, using Compressor. Could somebody tell me what codec that is? By the way, I am going to be presenting this film on a profession 36 foot screen, so I want the best quality for a large screen. File size is NOT an issue. Please note that I will be using DVD Studio Pro to put it on DVD, so I will also need a codec that is compatible with DVDSP.
    Thanks!

    You're going to have to export 2 different files, one for projection and one for dvdsp. For projection I'd recommend an mpeg2program stream. This will maintain your pixel dimensions and frame rate and produce a great looking file. I've delivered this format for use in professionally projected venues and it plays smoothly off servers designed for this. It will usually play just fine on my dual2.5gig G5 and my macbookpro laptop. However, you will need to test it on the equipment that it will be shown with.
    As for SD dvd, just use the appropriate preset in compressor for DVD.

  • Why does the highest quality ('Display') resolution vary from exporting one slideshow to the next?

    When exporting a slideshow from iPhoto I'm selecting the highest quality (Display). I noticed that resolution setting (Display) varies depending on which slide show I want to export (i.e. 1000 x 800, or 1420 x 800). Why?

  • Please help with highest quality export settings...

    I have searched the forum and web for hours (no joke!) and I am still trying to figure out what are the best video settings to give me the highest HD quality video in daylight. I am using a Canon HF200 and the latest updated version of FCE. My problem is that I am unable to produce an HD quality video at 1920 x 1080 Full HD without being "jagged". I have two questions; what do you suggest to be the best FCE import and export settings to produce the best HD video, and what settings do you have your HF200 set to (for normal daylight conditions), to produce the best HD video file? The file will be played directly thru my computer to a plasma HDTV.
    I have tried several settings, but using anything above 1280x720 16:9, makes the video "jagged". Again, I don't care about the size of the file or how long it takes, I just want the best. Is there something I am missing?
    My FCP settings are the following:
    I log and transfer the video from the camera into FCP (on a black MacBook; 2.16 GHz with 4 GB RAM) using the AVCHD Apple Intermediate Codec 1920 x 1080i source. I then export the video using the following:
    Export using "Quicktime Conversion".
    Quicktime options video settings are:
    Frame Rate set to "Current"
    Key Frames set to every "24" frames
    Compressor quality: "best" (Encoding set to "best quality")
    Data Rate set to "automatic"
    Quicktime options video size are:
    "HD 1280 x 720 16:9" (anything higher produces the jags!)
    Deinterlace source video is NOT checked
    My Canon HF 200 settings are the following:
    - P mode
    - FXP (17 Mbps)
    - 60i framerate
    all others are set to the normal default
    I have read some reports saying the above is good and others suggesting changing FXP to MXP (24 Mbps) and/or the framerate from 60i to PF30. I don't care about the size of the file, I just want the highest quality HD file.
    Any suggestions for the best FCE settings and/or HF200 settings would be very much appreciated!
    Thanks for your help,
    Evan

    Thanks again for the feedback
    Let me try my best to answer the above (I'm new at all this and I appreciate you guys taking the time to try and help me out).
    First off, I tried rendering and that did not help.
    Here is my sequence. I am not going into FCE from the camera directly. I have archived the video file from the camera using iMovie (as well as just making an exact copy of the camera files; they both appear to me to be the exact same, both can be logged and transferred into FCE, and both files give me a jagged FCE result).
    Once I log and transfer the file(s), I then take the clip and add it to a sequence file (rendering or not rendering the clip(s) at this point does not make a difference), and then click/highlight the sequence file in the browser and export it.
    As for "editing the video in a 1920x1080i60 sequence", I think I am. I am not doing any editing to the clip. It is logged and transferred using the AVCHD Apple Intermediate Codec 1920 x 1080i and then exported using either as a Quicktime Movie or Quicktime Conversion (set for 1920 x 1080 using H.264 compression; both ways still result in a jagged video).
    That's about it...log and transfer, add clip to sequence, and then export sequence...
    I hope this answers the above, but if not, I apologize; I'm still learning!
    Also, if I use iMovie, with similar export (share) settings, I get a non-jagged video (I have tried with deinterlacing and not deinterlacing, and both video results are fine)
    Thanks again,
    Evan

  • Exporting Final Cut timeline in highest quality Quicktime (self-contained)

    Hi, I am wondering if you can help me. I just finished editing a film in HDV, 24P in Final Cut Studio 2 and need to export it as a stand alone quicktime file to take it to the color correction people and then for downressing in order to write to DigiBeta tapes.
    My question is, do I simply export to Quicktime movie self-contained file using default (current) setting? I also see there are options such as Applre ProRes422 HQ, uncompressed 8bit and 10bit. From what I've heard uncompressed 8 and 10 bit and also apple ProRes422 are higher qualities? Am I wrong?
    But going to Uncompressed 8bit or even to Apple ProRes won't make a difference since I only have HDV quality and that's the highest quality I can get anyway?
    Please advise.
    Thank you

    Exporting a self contained QT Movie, and not recompressing will get you an HDV file that is full quality. But unless the facility you are going to has FCP on the machine they load this, they won't be able to see it. Same with ProRes...which would be the better choice for color correcting (10-bit, I-Frame format instead of GOP). ProRes and HDV (and DVCPRO HD) are codecs that only come with FCP, and any computer, even a mac, that doesn't have FCP installed cannot even view those file formats.

  • What are highest quality export settings from iMovie to FCE 4.0?

    I am using iMovie '08 to create Ken Burns effect movies from iPhoto photos to import into FCE. I want the least amount of loss from iMovie to FCE.
    What are the highest quality settings for exporting from iMovie to FCE.
    I do not care about size of file etc. Highest quality is all that matters to me.
    Cheers,
    Chuck

    Well here are the facts.
    My original question rephrased: "I want to know what are the settings to export Ken Burns created movies (therefore using photos) from iMovie (in this case iMovie '08) with the least loss and regardless of file size for importation into Final Cut Express".
    I went to the local Apple store and some of the users (employees) of Final Cut Pro mentioned appropriately they thought .DV would be the best. However when we played some created videos they looked horrible when compared to .MOV with H.264. This just did not make sense, but we went by what we were seeing. Not being able to think with this I did more research and found this article which explained why .DV lookes like pooh pooh compared to H.264 video.
    The article http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93002 explains a setting in Quicktime preferences that if not selected some videos appear pixelated.
    So, when this preference in Quicktime is selected (never thought to try playing on VLC) the .DV movies look better than those using H.264. So with this resolved then my trial and error testing was realistic. That is I could try different export settings and see which ones looked better to determine the best export setting.
    I tried what I thought was everything as far as "Export using Quicktime..." settings. Then I read in "iMovie '08 & iDVD: The Missing Manuals" under "The Video Codecs: A Catalog" an explanation of every type of compression when using the settings under "Movie to QuickTime Movie". Finally someone wrote more data on the codecs. I never found such explanation on the apple website (discussions etc). I really got tired of reading how H.264 is the better than sliced bread "greatest quality for the file size" which I think is true but did nothing to answer my original question. The book then mentioned the option "none". I was like I don't remember this option for "Compression Type". (BTW this all applies to iPhoto '08, Final Cut Express 4, and QuickTime Pro). So I tried "None".
    Wow! Zero pixelation! Vivid colors! So I created three videos. One using H.264, DV/DVCPRO - NTSC and None (I had already tried many others but for this last experiment just these three). I also maxed out the Quality for each compressor. Results:
    - H.264 colors looked a little faded from the original photos and minor minor fuzziness, file size about 6 MB
    - DV/DVCPRO - NTSC colors a little more vivid and less fuzziness, file size about 60 MB
    - None...Bam! absolutely photo quality resolution and color, file size about 600 MB. I didn't care about the size.
    So, bingo "None" as as the compressor settings in Quicktime to export iMovie '08 Ken Burns effect slide shows for importation into Final Cut Express (FCE) with minimal loss and who cares about the file size. Yeah, this is mammoth file but this allows me to make snappy Extremely High Quality Ken Burns effect videos in iMovie for FCE. Then when I export from FCE I don't make a copy of a copy but make my first compression of the video.
    That is my answer!
    I consider this thread closed and will only open if I find any of this is incorrect. BTW I already imported the iMovie '08 video with compression "None" into FCE and after rendering it looks awesome and plays well.
    Cheers,
    Chuck

  • Exporting at HIGHEST quality

    I am exporting so i can give to master engineer. how do i do it at highest quality? simply make sure compress is UNchecked? I had to reinstall everything on my comp so i lost my settings.
    also, GB records at 44,100 kHz, 16 bit, right?
    thanks

    make sure compress is UNchecked?
    yes
    GB records at 44,100 kHz, 16 bit,
    44.1k, yes.
    16-bit or optionally 24-bit if you set that preference before recording.

    There have been a lot of recent reports of difficulties sharing to DVD, but haven't been hearing about unreadable disks. Posibly there was an encoding error. Or it could have been bad media (blank disk).
    Does it play in your Mac?
