Question

Getting a clean mov export for Davinci Resolve from Premiere CS6.

Hi,  I'm using Premiere SC6 on windows 7, 64bit with m2t HDV video files.  I've tried every export codec but when I import the exported file back into Premiere, and compare it with the original, there is always some quality loss.  I'm just wondering what other people are doing about getting a decent export?

Thanks for any help.

    Every export to a compressed format causes a generation loss. The only way to avoid that is to export uncompressed or to a visually lossless format like UT or Lagarith.

    I have tried all the codecs, including uncompressed, but there is still quality loss.  How would I use UT or Lagarith in Premiere?

    Format: Quicktime.

    Forget about QuiRcktime, use AVI (uncompressed). Never use QuiRcktime on a Windows machine if you can avoid it. Not only does it cause serious gamma shifts, but it also robs PR from its 64 bit nature, reverting to 32 bit processing.


    I have tried AVI(uncompressed), with all the variations, and that still gives loss of quality.  The problem is I need mov output for Resolve, as that's the only thing it will take.

    Thanks.
