Adobe Premiere editing/exporting!

[davidian]

Hey. Say I capture a movie or something, to AVI, with that lossless codec.. and then I use Adobe Premiere to edit it, cut or add transitions or whatever.

Then what? If I want to export this project to a VCD or SVCD with GOOD quality, such as TMPEGENC, is that possible? I find Tmpegenc the absolute greatest when encoding SVCD's .. hmmm does anyone have a tip?

In order to use TMPGEnc with Premiere you MUST frameserve with AVISynth. Go the the AVISynth site and read the tutorials, get the correct version, .03 Beta I think it was... and you should export to AVISynth, and launch TMPGEnc and do what the tutorial says. This will let you export your Premiere Timeline to TMPGEnc and the template you have loaded. If you want more ease of use and don't NEED it to be SVCD, just export using Panasonic MPEG Encoder plugin for Adobe Premiere.

cant you just export the adobe file as avi uncompressed and then try encode the file with a simple avi2vcd program?

Hehe.. well first I capture to AVI, and it takes like 1 gig / minute or something like that, at 704x576 which pretty much fills my harddrive up.

I can't just save the file to another AVI afterwards, because then I would need another harddrive (or one that is twice as big).

It's as simple as that Thanks for the replies guys!

Go with TIbrO's suggestion; Won't cost You (much) extra harddisk space, and it is quite fast (IMHO). This is the way I work with Premiere for MPEG output, and I've tried a lot of various solutions. The only time this failed was a on a series of short MPEGs, where I ended up using another Premiere plugin-encoder...
