ProRes "Baked" Workflow
Please Provide:
1) ProRes422HQ or ProRes4444 file (based on the camera’s chroma subsampling)
2) An H.264 offline reference file
3) An EDL of the timeline
Exporting the video file from Premiere:
- Ensure all media is linked to camera original / highest quality (no proxies)
- Make a copy of your locked creative timeline, call it “projectname_4color”
- Remove all temp color & LUTs (see example below)
- Remove all superimposed text/titles (you will lay these back over the eventual colored file.)
- Remove any dips to black (to prevent quantization/banding, these will be recreated after color.)
Important boxes to tick in the “video” export tab for Premiere users:
- Use Maximum Depth
- Use Maximum Render Quality
- Export an EDL of the timeline (will be used to re-slice the timeline)
