Exporting Question

Hi all,

I am somewhat familiar with editing on premiere but not so much with exporting. I have a project due ASAP and I need to export it based on the following specs:

 Codec: H.264

 Container: QuickTime MOV (NOT MP4)

 Resolution: 1920 x 1080

 Frame Rate: 29.97 (drop frame)

 Aspect Ratio: 1.0 / Square

 Scanning: Interlaced, Top/Upper Field

 Bitrate: Minimum 30mbps

I think I can figure out most of these in the export settings, but I'm unable to figure out how to address the final 2 specs (Scanning: Interlaced, Top/Upper Field -- and -- Bitrate: Minimum 30mbps). Can anyone advise me on how to go about applying these settings to my project?

Thanks in advance!

    To get an interlaced export, you choose an interlaced ( " i " ) codec preset option, typically.

    Then down lower in the export box, in the Video tab, you would select Fields (Upper first). Bitrate is a pair of sliders, you can have constant or variable, with variable a 'target' and a 'minimum', with constant, you just set the bitrate on the slider bar.

    That makes sense, however which interlaced preset codec would you choose to match the required specs?

    By going into the Export box, choosing QuickTime for the Format, then Cineform YUV 10-bit as the codec, I went down to the Video tab below and changed to 1920x1080 29.97 Upper First, so I got everything but the "H.264" ...

    BUT ... by going to Adobe Media Encoder (comes with PrPro) instead, and creating an encoding preset there, I went to the + icon in the lower left panel to select creating an encoding preset ... then selected Quicktime as the format, NTSCV DV Widescreen as the preset, then went down and modified as necessary in the Video tab ... as you can see below.

    Video codec H.264, 1920x1080, 29.97, Upper First, Square pixels ...

    The one thing I couldn't change was to set a minimum bit-rate. This setting options only allow for a maximum kpbs setting.

    Now ... once you've saved this preset in AME, if you restart PrPro, and in the Export dialog box, select Quicktime as the format, this preset will appear in the top group of the list of available presets/options.
