Saving Movie

[achakzai]

I need alittle help in adobe premiere video saving... i am editting Dv video captured via firewire in adobe premiere, my question is that when i save my movie in full quality that is AVI format, and after some time again i open the same AVI saved file to premiere and edit it and save it in Avi format , if i repeat the same step two times more, will the video remain in the same quality or it will loose its quality....?

If you don't apply filters then there should be no change to the quality. If you do apply filters, or overlay text etc then those frames will be re-encoded, and this could eventually degrade the image visibly. Sometimes it may be visible after only a couple of re-encodes, sometimes it may take 5 or 6.

The secret is to save the project, which has all your edits in it, and if you have to make changes after encoding the video, make them to your original project, not the new footage.
