About creating a video file for use in other software
Premiere exports to many formats that are readable by other applications. For example, you can export a QuickTime movie for use in Adobe After Effects. When preparing to export to a video file for use in other video-editing or special-effects software, answer the following questions:
What file formats and compression methods does the other software import? This helps determine which format you will use to export.Will you be transferring across computer platforms? This may constrain the choice of file formats and compression methods further. Consider using high-quality cross-platform codecs (transcoders) such as QuickTime Motion JPEG A or B, or the Animation codec.Will you be superimposing the Premiere clips over other clips? If so, preserve alpha channel transparency when exporting from Premiere.What is the highest quality compression method that the other software imports? Using high-quality compression limits the degree of compression that can be applied to the video file while retaining quality. You want to retain the highest possible level of picture quality until the editing process is complete. For maximum quality, choose the None compressor (no compression) if you have sufficient disk space to store the very large file that will result.Do you want to paint on frames? If so, you can export to Filmstrip format and edit in Adobe Photoshop (see Exporting a filmstrip file for editing in Adobe Photoshop). Alternatively, you can export frames as a numbered sequence of individual still-image files, and edit each file in Photoshop. Do you want to use a single frame as a still image? If so, see Exporting a filmstrip file for editing in Adobe Photoshop.
