Hello, I do it the same way as you do, exporting dv-avi as uncompressed for after effects. main reason I do it is for the square aspect ratio and progressive video, because some plugins I use need deinterlaced footage. another method i use since cs3 is importing the premiere project in AE, then deinterlace and make it square pix before I apply any effect. finally i render the avi again as uncompressed from AE. but I agree it uses a lot of disk space.
In my opinion the quality doesn't get better when exporting as uncompressed, but when applying effects to the video, it will look better instead of using dv avi's only. Other method is to use quicktime codec's, the quality stays high, but the files doesn't get that large. (especially usefull when i work in HD) louk --- In [email protected], "Johnny K.
