More and more people are asking for h264 nowadays - the Good Enough attitude which is fine for most of my work.
From Premiere / Adobe Media Encoder I use the Vimeo hd 720p30 setting which is what I mostly shoot in. Looked amazing on the big Vancouver Int'l Film Centre screen last week. There's 1080i and p also I think. Unfortunately, the projection booth is as varied as the edit suite these days, so you might want to make a ProRes or other lossless master and use that to produce versions as the need arises. Pumping out overnight-encodings of various kinds is what computers are for, after all... :-) http://www.flickharrison.com > On Dec 8, 2013, at 1:51 PM, "Aaron F.
