Best format to move between Vegas and Premiere?
Hi,
I've been doing a lot of slow motion tests on vegas that are coming up very good, but I've been using premiere for more thant 7 years and I really enjoy editing on it. So I was wondering what would be the best format/compression to export my slow motion sequence from vegas so that I can edit it on premiere. |
If you have the disk space, probably just go with uncompressed AVI.

u can use a lossless format like picvideo. if u can stand unoticeable loss, i'd use an intermediate format like cineform.
|
Here are the export options I have:

Just wanted to warn others of the really huge files that uncompressed HD will generate. -gb- |
Yes, this afternoon I've exported 1 minute just see how big a file it would produce...almost 7gb...which unfortunately would result in a no go for me, since I have 3 200gb HD with lots of useful data that I just cannot move or delete at the moment. Other than uncompressed what would be the second best solution?

Once you select AVI here are the available video formats:

The other well known lossless compression format is HuffyUV. If this doesn't work, have you considered going to DV? Generational loss with DV is fairly small, and the only viable distribution, these days, is still DV.
|
There are a bunch of lossless codecs: http://www.compression-links.info/Lossless_Video_Codecs
I use the one by MSU. |
Ok, I just downloaded Huffyuv, which I've been told would be the second best option...I exported a 1 minute file and ended up with a black video. I imported it to vegas and premiere and it makes them crash. I tried to play this file with different media players and it makes them crash. Am I missing something here? Is there a speciall way to export a Huffyuv AVI file?

Thanks a bunch! Very useful. I'm testing MSU as we speak. |
Very suprised you had triuble with huffyuv - in my experience it's about the most bomb-proof avi codec out there. Whereas I've had problems with the MSU codec. Weird!
