I people...
I capture a video from my mini DV. I make various cut and now i'm ready.
Now I want to export it to work in after effects...
I don't know if i have to export like quick time movie or quick time conversion and wich kind of parameters i have to put.
thanks in advanced!

QuickTime conversion, uncompressed, framerate like in the edit, field order (if required) odd first, 16,7 millions of colors, best quality.
Due the the use of mini DV material you could even export this in a DV-codec without a loss of quality, but I prefer sequential graphic files, which have to be uncompressed(don't know exactly if an export to sequential files is possible, but I'm pretty sure it is).

I do like you said, but the converted file became 400Mb instead of 100Mb of the original in scratch folder. Instead if I choose quick time movie instead of quick time conversion, it remain 100Mb. But is it possible that the 400Mb version looks more good!! I think is a little bit strange! Is like take a jpg and then make it better with a hi compression!! I think is impossible, but it happen!
