Render & Replace codecs in Premiere Pro

[Per Frits]

Hi,

Can anyone enlighten me and tell me the difference between the "MXF OP1a" and the "DNxHR/DNxHD MXF OP1a" that pops up when I want to render & replace a clip in Premiere Pro 2017. And also the difference between "AVC Intra" and "DNxHD"

I'm trying to find the best workflow for rendering & replacing an After Effects Comp, on the timeline, as close to uncompressed as possible.....

- what would you do?

Thanks

There are plenty of resources online that will teach you about those specific codecs.  You should do your research.

That answer wasn't helpful at all Jim, only judgmental...
I couldn't find anything that explains the difference between those specific codecs in terms that I understand. I'm Danish, I'm a photographer, and I'm a beginner at video encoding. There is no resources on the subject in Danish at all. That was the reason I spend time making this thread in the first place. Not laziness or lack of willingness to investigate as you suggest.

- Work on the attitude Jim! If you do not have an answer, or think the question is ridiculous, then feel free to move on.

You don't HAVE to answer every thread in this forum as it appears you do from looking around.

in terms that I understand.

Then you need to get those terms defined.

One of the largest impediments to education is the misunderstood word.  One can't be expected to fully understand the concept if one doesn't know the meaning of the words used to describe the concept.

This applies regardless of language.

I'm with shooter. I'd recommend exporting an intermediate out of AE to replace the clip on the PrPro sequence. Shooternz uses the high-quality avi format, but I've heard others using ProRes, a high-q DNxHD/R, or Cineform.

I think what your ending deliverable will be is the deciding factor. If you can use something that is as near lossless as possible and can be re-wrapped in "smart rendering" on export into your delivery media, that's great.

What do you think she is doing by asking

[R Neil Haugen]

Puzzled by your comment on this rather ancient thread ... I don't understand what you're saying here.

Although clearly there have been some posts deleted. I think Jim is the Jim Simon that used to be on these boards, now over on the "R" boards. And was typically involved in answering, and tended to the curmudgeonly side of things.

I saw the date immediately after posting it. Hopefully Jim's in better spirits these days

At least, you apparently searched the forum! So many people don't, and post the 275th query about the same thing ... sigh.

Jim's still ... um ... Jim. Opinionated, spare of words.  Although "back in the day" here, his advice was often actually quite directly useful. If not phrased "sweetly". As was ShooterNZ, an amazing person of editing knowledge in truth.

May or may not be helpful but FWIW Per

I do not use Render and Replace or any directly linked workflows between PPro and AEFX.

I prefer to create Digital Intermediates (D.Is)  to maintain  least compression in my workflows and masters. 

For this it tends to be .avis

Occassionally tga or tiff sequential files and sometimes codecs containing alpha .

I sometimes iterate the D.I with a new name but often will just Export using same name and that will update the instance in PPro.

One bonus advantage I find is that it makes management of PPro and AEFX Projects easier.
