Hello,

 

I hope someone can help me quickly here.  I am rendering a 1 hr 11 minute film in just 1280x720 for use for audio score and the sound guy had wanted an H264 .mov file.

 

In Adobe Premiere, I don't have an option to select H264 and then also select .mov anywhere so I had to go H264 .mp4.  For whatever reason, he can't transcode to some other format he needs.  I'm a bit baffled by it.

 

I know if I select Quicktime in the dropdown instead of H264, it WILL be a .mov, however the file size usually climbs tremendously.  He informed me that Quicktime is a wrapper but I have no way to select H264 with a .mov extension that I can see.  Can some direct me how to do this?

 

Right now, H264, .mp4, 1280x720 at min 3 bits/8 bits, gives me a 1.6GB file and I need it about the same for online file transfer.

 

Also, this takes me about 5 hrs to render.  My native file in Premiere is about 14 individual DNxHD clips.  Is that typical or is there some "use native codec" that he mentioned to reduce time?

 

Appreciate the help.

 

Eric
