Hi guys,
My first post back here in ages but i thought id try as you're all super helpful and have aided me a great deal along the way.
Basically I have finished my debut feature film that was shot on the panasonic af100 and am now looking to export it from adobe premiere cs6 with the best possible setting but also so that it won't take years. The film is saved into different project files and sequences so my plan was to export each and then put them all together in one file and export that, but I've never used hd footage for such a long duration (the run time is 136 minutes) so I am unsure what is the best options.
I tried exporting the first 17 minutes in h.264 with best render quality checked and a high bit rate target in the 30s etc at 1080p 25f and it took a whopping 12 hours! (and is 4 gb!) Is this normal? At that rate it will take another 80 hours continuous to just export the sequences then god knows how long to export the main project when it is all together. Also I am concerned that the files will be too big for blu ray etc.
How do the professionals do it? As the feature films you see on blu ray etc now are of excellent quality but they must some how manage the file size, i dont know any blu ray discs over 25gb!
Any advice or help will be greatly appreciated! Panicking a bit now that i have this completed film and can't get it off my laptop lol!
Thanks Taras
