    Permiere cs4 and jpegs

    l1o1t1r1 Community Member

      I can not find a way to save the movie to jpegs instead of tiffs. Can this be done if so how.

      If not is there a plugin for Permiere cs4 that allows it to do it.

       

      Also- does Premiere CS5 do it?

       

      TIA

          Are you attempting to Export your Timeline as a series of JPEG stills, MJPEG, or something else entirely?

           

          Good luck,

            Save as jpeg stills.

            I would like to save the movie as jpegs (the whole movie or segments of it)

              OK, for Still Export, it has changed a bit in CS4, over previous versions, and actually changed between CS4 & CS4.2. If you have gotten to the Export Still, you will NOT find JPEG. TIFF, BMP and TGA would be the main choices. I would always choose TIFF. I stay as far from JPEG's, as I can, unless the client needs material for their Web site, and then I almost always go with PNG.

               

              Because of the JPEG compression algorithms, you will need to Export as TIFF, and then Open those in PS to Save_Ad JPEG, but would advise against doing that, unless you have a major, compelling reason.

               

              When working with stills, I end up staying in PSD for almost all of my work. Nothing is better than the PSD format.

               

              Good luck,

                Bill

                I am new at this but here is what I am doing

                I open the movie/film I then paste it into Compostion (drag and Drop)

                I then go to file > export > media and the media window opens

                I then set that to tiffs and video and go down and set (click) video seq and ok

                that takes me to the media encoder and I render them out

                OK I now have the wwhole file as TIFFs

                 

                I then open IrfanView and go to Batch where I load all the TIFFs and batch them to jpegs

                done

                 

                as the conversion from the premiere cs4 supplied TIFFs to the Batch to jpegs with IrfanView takes about the same time I was wanting to do that from premiere cs4 which would save about half the time it takes the way I described above

                 

                I do not disagree with you about the psd format - it rocks;)

                  John,

                   

                  What it appears that you are talking about doing is Export TIFF Sequences, and not a single still Frame. Is that what you want, a TIFF Sequence (kind of like a Filmstrip)?

                   

                  Sorry for my confusion here.

                   

                  If you are trying to do a Freeze Frame, that would be a single still TIFF.

                   

                  Maybe if you can help me understand what you wish to end up with and how you want to use it in PrPro, I can offer some input.

                   

                  Good luck,

                    Understood.

                     

                    Just can't be done, though.
