UPLOAD AND EXPORT VIDEO IN HD PREMIERE PRO

[JewHefner]

I been having some problems with my final output of quality in my hd videos.

I am using a canon 60d shooting in 1920x 1080p 30

before anything, i compress the video in red giant's "grinder" using apple pr res standard

then open up premiere with settings: "HD DSLR"-"1080p HD"

then the exporting i have no clue about....


any help would be great

thanks.

Depends on what you plan to do with it... just for upload to the internet? Then all you need is 720p. So Just select the output preset for Vimeo 720p. If I was you I would just look up "export premiere pro tutorial" or something like that on Youtube to get educated.

you're wasting your time (and hard drive space) converting to prores.

what should i be doing?, just edit raw?

i used a tutorial on how to export correctly, but when i play video its just a black screen, could this be due to compressing before i upload onto premiere?

The .mov is already compressed using H.264 compression. Think of that like having a jpg. Converting the .mov to prores is somewhat like converting jpeg to a raw- it's not going to get better plus take up way more hdd space. premiere can handle the h.264 footage just fine. You're going to want to export to the same format as well; H.264 compression in a .mov file if you want to get it on YouTube/vimeo in HD. See the link in my sig.

Are you using CS5?

If so, you could avoid the whole transcoding to prores fuss. CS5 will edit the h.264 files natively if you want to. If you want to edit in a 422 colour-space (which would be the only reason to convert to prores) then that's fine, not sure if prores is the best option for premiere (cineform might be better).
But remember you're not gaining much more control by using prores 422, the 60D still uses 8-bit compression so nothing is captured at 4:2:2 or 4:4:4.
Unless you're into serious colour-correction then I'd just edit natively in CS5.

For export, render at 720p @ about 6mbps (but use VBR) with the quicktime format, or h.264 MP4. They are probably best for the web.
Pick the dimensions and pixel aspect ratio to match your video (check by looking at the 'output' tab on the preview screen before you export)
