Hello all,
I have been getting a bunch of my footage ready for stock footage, and am having a difficult time knowing what the proper way to export the clips in adobe premiere would be. I am on Windows so Prores is out, so I have decided on DNxHR codec for my footage.
When I go to export the clip in premiere with DxnHR it asks Alpha or Uncompressed. I have been choosing uncompressed as I want to save as much detail of my clips as possible. But the file sizes are huge! To give you an example:
The original clip is 37 seconds of 60fps 4k footage from a Canon 1dx Mark II.
- Original file - 1.79 GB
- Exported as .mov, DNxHR and Alpha = None - 3.74 GB
- Exported as .mov, DnxHR and Alpha = uncompressed - 12.2 GB
Not sure what the difference between the 2 export options are, but the file size difference is dramatic.
Doing it as uncompressed has been a storage and uploading nightmare, so I wanted to get some advice from people here. I want to preserve as much of the quality as possible for my clients, but also need something reasonable.
Thanks in advance.
