Hi,

Our video source have all their videos at some fascinatingly high
quality (mainly used for broadcasting) and they can give it to us in
any format we wish; they will be using Final Cut Pro to do that.

I'm no video pro and will probably get my company to buy me a license
for Premiere as we're mainly a Windows-based shop. So which format
should I ask for given I'm using Premiere?

Would say a QuickTime with very to no compression at 640 x 480 work?

Our intention is to finally use these videos as Flash video (online)
at 320 x 240. I'll probably be using the ON2 VP6 codec via Sorenson
Squeeze.

Any help much appreciated,

M

Hi, You will probably need the Final Cut Pro export to be in an XML
interchange format. The product that best handels this is Automatic
Duck.

Thanks.

Unfortunately I cannot control the video sourcing end in terms of
making them use special software in order to make it work with our
requirements; the most I can ask them is to give me the videos in a
certain format which I can then easily import into Premiere.

Quicktime will work, but as you probly know already, Premiere's native
formate is .AVI, You can see if they can render DV AVI files for you
at 720 x 480, if not .MOV will work, specify a DV Quicktime file, as
this will be easier to edit and will not effect your final output to
the web.

QuickTime DV is what someone else recommended on another forum as
well. Although I've never worked with it before I'll probably go with
it during our initial test run and see how it works.

Thanks for your help - much appreciated.

Thanks for your
