Premiere vs After effects exporting

[Kamilla Lusa]

Hi,

just finished editing 5 min short with Premiere CS6. Shot on Scarlet, all 4K.

I want to export the project for grading. I really like working with TIFF files in grading stage so I have two options:
1) Export 8 bit TIFF files straight from Premiere (AFAIK there is no way to export 16 bit TIFF files from Premiere)
2) Open Premiere project in After Effects and export 16 bit TIFF files from there

Do I gain anything by choosing After Effects route? I mean, what is the real bit depth of Scarlet footage? I suppose it is not 8 bits...

Also, I want to resize the footage to 2K for grading (my system cannot handle 4K). Are Premiere / After Effects resizing methods any good? I really couldn't find where to select resizing method in these apps.

Thanks,
Kamilla

Or should I just go to 10-bit DPX straight from Premiere?..

I World go with DPX but you Need a Lot of space and fast Drives. These Files are huge.

what are you grading on? Because depending on the system, you can export an EDL, XML, or AAF and grade your raw footage.
