Exporting for Adobe Premiere Elements

Hello-

I need to send a few HD (1440x1080) clips to someone who will edit them using Adobe Premiere Elements. My sequence is ProRess422 HQ. Does anyone know if I can export a .mov file leaving it in ProRess? If not, can anyone suggest a good encoding method.

Thanks

Intel iMac 24" 2.93 GHz, 4 GB RAM, Mac OS X (10.5.6), QT 7.6

If he is on a PC he can read the pro res files but not create prores files
same true if he's on a mac and does not have FCP on that machine.
apple makes available the decoder free of charge on their website for mac or PC

If they have to come back to you for you to edit further there will be an issue.

the cleanest way for him to output to you if they need to come back is animation codec.
they will need to be rendered in FCP. The other is sequential files tiff or targa if he's on a PC
drop them into a sequence that is set up for pro res and render that out which will get you back inpro res fairly cleanly

Thank you for your reply.

So he will be able to read the ProRes file within Adobe Premier Elements, make some changes, and then render out to some other codec/format?

I won't need to bring it back into FCP once he has the footage.

Yes provided he has the proRes decoder
