About creating motion-picture film
If you are editing a project for viewing on motion-picture film, you first export the Premiere
video program to a video file using high-quality settings. After you create the file, you need to
use a motion-picture film recorder, a hardware device that prints individual frames to motion-
picture film frames. This service is most likely to be available from a post-production facility.
Motion-picture film can display more detail than most video formats, so your project may
require a larger frame size than it would for videotape. The exact resolution you should use
depends on the film stock to which you will print. For best results, discuss the project with your
post-production facility before you begin.
A video frame is displayed using two alternating fields of scan lines. A motion picture
frame appears all at once. When you create motion-picture film from clips that were origi-
nally digitized from interlaced video, be sure to set field options properly for each clip in
the Timeline. This ensures that motion will play back properly. See "Exporting video files"
on page 304.
