3DS Uncompressed AVI and Premiere 6.5

Hi

I make video effects and advanced titles in 3D Studio Max for my videos but have come across a problem when importing these into Premiere.

I export the 3DSM files as uncompressed AVI files and then insert them into Premiere where the project settings are set to DV PAL because this is what the video clips are captured as.

Premiere needs to render the 3DSM file and looses a lot of quality in the process. If I switch the project settings to Uncompressed AVI, this causes problems for the DV PAL files (Which is about 95% of the video) but the 3DSM AVI is perfect.

Is their a way I can keep the quality of the 3DSM AVI and still use DV PAL as the project / Export setting by some conversion or 'hidden feature' I don't know about.

Thanks

I usually render my 3d sequences to a series of .tif images (not long sequences), you could try the huffyuv codec as well -- lossless compression I believe and it takes a lot less space than uncompressed avi

Thanks, I'll give it a go.
