[Aindreas Gallagher] "Correct me because I may well be totally wrong here, but while premiere might be able to read and playback the media with DNX and prores installed and living elsewhere on the system, premiere cannot output any of these formats correct? Isn't a client likely to be taken aback being given uncompressed as the clean master for a fifteen minute corporate thing? Isn't that just a gigantic unplayable brick? "
If you have DNxHD installed on your system, Premiere Pro can export Quicktime-wrapped DNxHD.
Personally, I'm using Cineform for my intermediates and mastering, as DNxHD only works with standard HD frame sizes, and a lot of my work for custom displays requires arbitrary rasters. This would probably not be the problem for most folks here that it is for me.
That said, count my voices among those asking Adobe to provide a mastering codec instead of relying on third parties.
