CS5 Exporter

[Brian Parker]

Just a question about the exporter (mac). Do Premiere and After Effects use the same exporter method? So when you've implemented it for one app, will that mean that we can export cineform files from AME, PPro, and AE?

I ask because for an intermediate workflow, for me, it's more important that the exporter for AE be done first. I think that I can get by in PPro editing the source files natively for most projects. However, Dynamic link has always been unstable, and so I'd still want to use cineform as a way of coming from AE into PPro.

As an archive format of course, it's still important to be able to export from PPro or AME. It's funny, when I owned CS4 I just wanted the importer to be done for Premiere so that I could edit my avchd source smoothly. Now in CS5 it's flipped and I just want the exporter to be done so that I can go between AE and PPro, and finally archive the last 2 years worth of projects sitting on my system.

Working on the CS5 AE exporter now. It is different (unfortunately) to the Premiere exporter.

David, What is the impact currentley working with After Effects cs5 and Cineform Media?

As I can add my After Effects cs5 composition to the Render queue, and set the output module to AVI and choose the Cineform codec settings and render out to an AVI?

What are the problems atthe moment and current workflow which may create the above problem?

Thanks,

Leo

Hi Leo,

The Video for Window AVI type is always 8-bit only, so the native exporter is all about deep precision. If you need deep precision, export to DPX and convert those to CineForm. The AE work is progress shiftly.
