Exporting to QuickTime with After Effects.
If you wish to export your projects into Premiere Pro 2.0 for real time playback you can use the Bluefish444 QuickTime
Exporter plug in
NOTE, Premiere Pro and Symmetry will not support QuickTime files rendered from After Effects with the After Effect
QuickTime Movie exporter via the Bluefish444 v210 codec. You must use the Bluefish444 QuickTime Exporter.
This is due to After Effects not guaranteeing QuickTime moves on a specific byte boundary that is required for RT playback
in Pro 2.0. This is more apparent in HD resolutions than SD resolution QuickTime files.
Alternatively if you do not intend to use Premiere Pro, render to the Cineon format and then import fro file sequence into
Symmetry for exporting to tape.
The Bluefish444 QuickTime export plug-in.
This plug-in allows you to export to the QuickTime v210 file format that supports Premiere Pro 2.0, Quick Clip Pro and
Symmetry for real time playback
Using the traditional QuickTime Movie format export via the Bluefish444 codec is not support fro playback in Premiere Pro 2
The Bluefish444 exporter will not support embedding of audio, the exporter is for video only. Simply export audio only as a
separate pass from your same composition to a 16 bit 48 KHz wav file.
