Hyperdeck Shuttle 2

Now I have the freedom to work in both compressed and uncompressed video depending on the needs of my project! Uncompressed video will always produce the highest quality mathematically perfect results and is ideal when recording video for color correction, chroma keying and high end VFX work. When you need longer recording duration or you’re working with lots of video material, HyperDeck Shuttle 2 can be instantly changed over to use ProRes or DNxHD MXF compressed video files. The popular Apple ProRes 422 (HQ) and Avid DNxHD files are SMPTE standard codecs that are used by thousands of broadcast and post production facilities worldwide as they maintain the highest 10-bit video quality with the advantage of smaller file sizes.

How to Export from Adobe Premiere to Vimeo

Rudy Wilms — Thu, 20 Dec 2012 19:31:47 +0000

I thought that I would do a tutorial on how I export footage from Adobe Premiere to Vimeo. With every new version of Premiere the process slightly changes. This tutorial shows you how to export using Premiere CS5 or CS5.5. Remember these are my opinions and what works best for me.

The main thing when you are exporting is to make sure that you match your sequence settings with your export settings. If you shot in a frame rate of 23.976 then you need to make sure to export in a frame rate of 23.976. This is also the case for frame size as well as aspect ratio.

I use the h.264 codec with constant bitrate of 9mbps. Vimeo prefers the h.264 codec and recommends a 5-6mbps bitrate. That is fine for standard definition footage but for high definition footage, I recommend a 9mbps or higher bitrate. The thing to remember is that Vimeo is going to re-transcode your footage, so why not give them a better quality export to start with.

How to Export 2.35 from Adobe Premiere to Vimeo

Export your footage using Adobe Media Encoder. In the export settings change your frame height and then crop your footage from the top and the bottom. Depending on the resolution you are editing in, the height and the crop changes. Here are the proper dimensions:

1080p

Frame Width = 1920px
Frame Height = 816px
Crop Top = 132px
Crop Bottom = 132px
720p

Frame Width = 1280px
Frame Height = 544px
Crop Top = 88px
Crop Bottom = 88px

When you are finished exporting, upload your H.264 file to Vimeo. Vimeo will automatically recognize the frame height and will display it as 2.35:1.
