Best Export from Adobe Premiere (CS6 or CC)?

Post by smorgasbord »

I have a 64 minute movie edited in Premiere CS6, shot mostly on a Canon XF100 in 1080p30 (50Mbps). There are also a ton of stills, some After Effects footage. I color graded within Premiere since not much was needed.

I'm fortunate that the movie has gotten into a couple of festivals so far. One wants Blu-Ray, but one prefers DCP. I've been playing around with DCP-o-matic, and like what I see so far.

My question is: What's the best format to export in from Premiere CS6? I'm looking for an intermediate format that is high enough quality that I can feed it into DCP-o-matic as well as build Blu-Rays from.

The two best options seems to be:
DNX HQX 1080p 29.97
Apple ProRes 422 - HD 1080p 29.97

I'm leaning towards ProRes.

If I remember right, there had been some issues with DnxHD previously. I suggest Prores, or single image sequence + separate audio files.
