1. Re: I use PP CS6 and AME CS6. How do I convert mpg2 to QUALITY mov files?
Todd_Kopriva Apr 16, 2013 8:11 PM (in response to muchness)For passing movies along to the next step in a post-production pipeline, choosing the PNG video codec in a QuickTime container is a good choice. It's lossless at the highest quality settings.

muchness Apr 16, 2013 8:58 PM (in response to Todd_Kopriva)Thanks for responding. I can get the clip to PNG - but how to put it "in a QT container" is where I'm still stuck. Do you mean if I encode the PNG via the encoder I have (to QuickTime) it will be the same? (Hoping that's what you mean.) No option in Adobe PP that I can find.

Todd_Kopriva Apr 16, 2013 9:37 PM (in response to muchness)Choose QuickTime as the format. Choose PNG as the video codec within that.

muchness Apr 20, 2013 10:45 AM (in response to muchness)Todd, thank you so much for your reply. Would have thanked you sooner, but was catching up the work that the problem had delayed!
This was my problem. When I got the new editing computer, I ordered it "clean" from any software or bloatware "trial" editions of anything. I wanted to keep it just for editing. I installed the Adobe Cloud suite, and was editing away with PP CS6, when I hit the transfer problem.
The reason the format choice didn't show in PP was that I didn't have QuickTime installed on my new editing computer. Apparently, PP needs to see an Apple product to realize you need the codec? ANYhow, once I installed (the free version of) QuickTime, I had the codec choices and the export was fine.
I appreciate the tips, but it wasn't that I did not understand codecs or transfer (I live those conflicts! ACK!), but more that I couldn't understand why my version of CS6 didn't have a FCP/QT export option.
Again, thanks.
