Render Settings and Editing in Premiere

Render Settings and Editing in Premiere

1. Decide on the frame size you will render at AND STICK TO IT as it important that you stay consistent with this, for example 1280 x 720 PAL 25fps.
2. Open Adobe Premiere and choose a file location to save the project. Then from the presets list, in the 'HDV' folder select the 'HDV 720p' preset that matches the frame rate that you rendered your work at. 
3. In Premiere set the duration of each still to equal one frame. see this link http://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/using/importing-still-images.html
4. Import your frame renders into Premiere.
5. It may be best to create a new sequence for each scene. 
6. Drag and drop each render set into a sequence edit accordingly.
7. Render as .avi in Windows or .mov on Mac and choose "uncompressed" as the compression setting.
8. In the media encoder (Once you export the finished sequence) chose flv/f4v format and in the preset selection choose "F4V-HD 720p" (Feel free to experiment with this, as you find that other presets such as 'H.264' will give you a smaller file size).
   
   ADVICE - IT IS ALWAYS WORTH EXPERIMENTING WITH RENDERS AND SETTINGS BEFORE YOU GO AHEAD AND COMMIT TO A FORMAT. Do some test renders to see if the quality is good enough before wasting time doing renders you don't need!
