Exporting video for Archiving, premiere pro
I have a completed video and want to export it for archiving, for the future if I need to import again to make DVDs or online compatible videos. Is exporting with quick-time animation 32bit my best bet? or would something else be better?
video is 1080p |

In most cases it's best to archive a video in it's original acquisition format, frame rate & size. Minimizes transcoding, upresing/downresing issues.

I respectfully disagree. Any Interframe codec like MPEG-2 (HDV/XDCAM) or AVCHD (h.264) will always be recompressed by Premiere on output, introducing yet another generation loss on top of the compression already applied by the camera.
Animation 32-bit might be a bit of an overkill. If your video is not transparent, then 24-bit will be enough, since additional 8-bit encoding alpha channel would be wasted anyway. You can also try the Lagarith codec (it's free) for the highest fidelity, or download Avid's free DNxHD and use one of the higher bitrates provided there. The filesize will be a bit more manageable, and the quality loss almost undetectable, especially if it is your master. |

'AVCHD (h.264) will always be recompressed by Premiere on output'
doesn't pro smart render? |
