Since I have used Final Cup pro to make my private movies - I now want to make a movie for shutterstock.

One guy here said that Final cut Pro is not a good choice. So now I am having a trial version of Adobe Premiere Pro Cs5.5 and I am wondering what is the setting for the project and what is the export setting for this program?

Can somebody help me out here.

Using Canon 5d Mark II camera!

I don't see why Final Cut would be a problem. It should work just fine.

In After Effects you would create a comp from your clip and then add that to the render queue. Then select Quicktime mov from the render options and choose photojpeg (between 75 and 95% compression) and then simply render that out.

PP CS 5.5 is a great and easy fast program to use. Been using Adobe products for years and see no reason to ever change. Especially with CS6 getting release this next week.
1. Open PP and when new sequence tab opens select Digital SLR, 1080p and DSLR 1080p30
2. Drag and drop your 5D video into top left box under Project.
3. Drag and drop the MVI*.mov file onto time line.
4. Cut the ends to remove any possible bad frames, check for stable video.
5. On bottom left window is Video Effects. If you want you can drag and drop Auto color / contrast / levels and or Shadow.highlight onto timelime.
6. On middle Effects Control window you can Blend the effect changes to reduce their harshness. (don't make too big of changes, many buyers would rather do it themselves)
7. Go to File and export and then Media
8. Format = Quicktime
9. Video Codec = Photo-JPEG
10. Quality about 90 (never above 95)
11. Width = 1920
12. Height = 1080
13. Frame Rate = 29.97
14. Field Type = Progressive
15. Aspect = Square Pixels (1.0)
16. Render at Maximum Depth = checked
17. Output Name = footage name that you want
18. Export Video = checked
19. Export Audio = checked if you want to save audio
20. Click the Export button and you are done and ready to ftp to SS.

Good Luck.

Great detailed instructions from Don!

Just one thing for those who don't know - if you shot 24p or 25p (or interlaced 60i or 50i) in-camera you would want to keep that frame rate in your output render. (If footage is interlaced then you want to use the Motion-Jpeg codec instead of Photo-Jpeg codec). Converting frame rates is not a good idea as it can cause staggered motion. Check your camera settings and make sure it's set appropriately for the frame rate you would like to shoot.

There are also some decent free apps out there for converting file formats, but you will have to do research as I've never used them.

Indeed. Always keep the original if at all possible. The setting I gave was for Canon 5D MKII at 1080x1920 at 30 fps. Good comment on other frame rates and for interlace which does require different settings.
