Exporting Graphics on a Video Separate Channel?

[Jworms]

Hi There

Just a quick one. Is there any way of export multiple video tracks to an output file in Premiere? Specially I'm being asked for delivery with 'Graphics rendered on a separate channel for translation'. Is there any way to do this?

Thanks

Not really contained within one video clip. You could export in two passes, muting video tracks as needed to get desired output in each of the two exports (video only and titles only). For titles, you could export in a format that includes an "alpha channel" so that the background of titles is transparent, so whoever edits next will superimpose your title clip over your video clip and can then work on creating new titles. Note that your titles would not be saved in an "text" format that could be run through a translation program, rather a person will need to read original on screen and type in their translation.

And if this video will be re-edited, re-titled, then you'll want to use a high-quality intermediate codec for export so the quality holds up. Meaning not H.264, but ProRes or DNxHD for instance. Both of which would support alpha channel for the title clip.
