Hi folks,
So I'm in the middle of cutting my first feature (!) and unfortunately there's one interview I need to use repeatedly over the first third of it that's too noisy. What I should have done was just run all the clips through AE for noise reduction before I even started cutting....but I didn't do that.
So now I've got my film all laid out in Premiere, with those clips replaced with AE comps via the "replace with After Effects composition" feature in Premiere. However, it seems that every time I change something, render previews, or want to export a version of the film, it has to render out those clips all over again, and there's enough of them that that means we're talking DAYS of rendering time, even with my pretty hardcore editing computer.
So what I'm wondering is, is there a way to render these "once and for all", so that afterwards they're just treated like any other video clip in Premiere pro and the noise reduction doesn't have to keep happening every time I want to export a new cut of the film (or render video previews)?
I suppose I could just render the clips out 1 by one in AE, and then replace them one by one in Premiere, but is there a more automated way of doing that? It seems like there ought to be...
(Also, while I'm at it, what's a good export setting for AE when working with 1080p DSLR footage? I've noticed the default H264 settings in AE lead to a loss in quality in the final output, but the lossless settings result in a gigantic file, and I don't need quality THAT flawless -- since most of my footage was shot on an H264 DSLR anyway -- can anyone share some good export settings? Would bumping up the bitrate in the H264 output settings solve things? How can I be sure what I'm exporting matches the native DSLR quality I've got with my other footage but doesn't exceed it and take up tons of HDD space I don't need to waste?)
To anyone who can help with this...I will love you forever
Thanks!
