AAARGH premiere adobe users. pleeeeasee, help me export!

[BIoodBrother]

Hi,

 

I can't seem to find an answer in any forums, so I'll ask myself..

 

I have a Vanilla-patched GH2 and I am therefore shooting with 44mbit.

 

Now I finished shooting and editing a film.

 

I want to export it.

 

First Question-

 

I used h.264 blu ray instead of h.264 to insure the highest quality.. was I wrong to do so???

 

Second Question-

 

I don't want to lose any quality and don't care about the size..

So should I just bump the mbit size up to the limit, which interestingly enough is only 40 or 50 and wouldn't even support a higher bitrate, as for example the unified-patch.

Or is the "real" bitrate saved somewhere else anyway?

Adobe never developed it's own high quality master codec (like Apples ProRes), but the AME does well with mpeg4. On a Mac? Export as ProRes. On a PC? Instead of giant uncompressed I'd try DNxHD or Cineform, others know better. That said, you really should try to export with the 40/50 mbps settings. Visually, there should be no difference at all. My friend does this all the time.

If you want to export a master, use DNxHD Avid codec. For online publishing, export a Quicktime / h.264 mp4
