Just in case anybody else hasn't known, we fixed the Premiere/QuickTime problem in a different thread already. Open up QT Player, go into the Preferences, and choose Use High-Quality Video when Available (or something like that). The QT quality controls in Premiere don't actually work.

That's why render times should be optimized. There are little tricks and things to make rendering take 20 sec/frame instead of, oh, 10 min/frame.

#1: Only care about what the camera can see.
#2: Remember that this is for Standard Definition Television (SDTV). Some corners can be cut.

I keep telling people that Targa images are a waste of disk space. Use PNG instead.
