Abobe Priemere Export Settings?

[daiweb]

Hey everyone hopefully you had a go around with this and you can help me out.

I'm wonder want are the west export setting for Adobe Premiere.

I find it weird when I'm exporting video that I'm not getting clear footage.

I'm exporting in the Windows Media Format. at 480X320
Frame rate: 29.7
Wide screen 16:9
Encoding Passes 2
Bite rate: Unconstrained

Are these setting any good?

Why are you doing that?

What are your goals?

Im making quick youtube videos and I dont really want to have a big size each time I upload. This size still fills up the youtube wide screen, the videos I make are about 60 seconds and when i finished converting they come up to 1.42 MB. Is this resulting in lower quality? and could you achieve good quality at this size. When I look in the preview before converting everything looks clean...

What do you you suggest is a good size to work with?

YouTube is going to recode what you send to flash so why not send them something decent like DV wide? or higher bit rate MPeg2 wide?

I'm not up to date about what YouTube accepts but send them the best they will take.

the thing s Youtube Recommends: 1280 x 720 (16x9 HD) and 640 x 480 (4:3 SD)
The thing is some of the graphic I use not all that size if I street it out it will pixilate

I tried to find a nice in between size. I will try to record in or" higher bit rate MPeg2 wide"

a windows media video with a bitrate of about 500 kbps would look passable. for your video - to work out the bitrate : bitrate = filesize in kbits/time in seconds. or about 189 kbps. not very good. increase the rate by a factor of 2 or 3 and you should get better results. yes the filesize will also increase by 2 or 3 times but at least it should be watchable. some of my youtube videos approach the 1 GB file size limit, for a 10 minute video or about 100 MB/minute.

thanks for the info I appreciate it! When it comes to frame rate what is the best to use?

Sounds like you need to start up-sizing the graphic assets beforehand.
Encode to MPEG-1 640x480 if that's allowed. By its very nature, it might help blur out the rough edges on the problem areas.

I also don't keep up to date on Youtube specs.

You tube Specs:
Resolution Recommended: 1280 x 720 (16x9 HD) and 640 x 480 (4:3 SD)

There is no required minimum resolution - in general the higher resolution the better and HD resolution is preferred. For older content, lower resolution is unavoidable.

Bit rate Because bit-rate is highly dependent on codec there is no recommended or minimum value. Videos should be optimized for resolution, aspect ratio and frame rate rather than bit rate.

Frame rate The frame rate of the original video should be maintained without re-sampling. In particular pulldown and other frame rate re-sampling techniques are strongly discouraged.

Codec H.264, MPEG-2 or MPEG-4 preferred.
Audio

Codec MP3 or AAC preferred
Sampling rate 44.1kHz

Channels 2 (stereo)



I agree with upping the graphics but somethings there is absolutly no way for me to get graphics that would match some of those sizes. So I was trying to find a medium. the videos are used for online only and are not going to be on tv.

if you are working in the ntsc arena then use 30 fps progressive for your youtube videos. if in pal land 25p.

[daiweb]

thanks and yup im working in the ntsc

i'd highly recommend using avchd/h264 mp4 at about 750-1000 kbps. better compression and youtube converts it well. for widescreen ntsc 864x480 is a good choice or if that's too big maybe 560x320. mp4 is square pixel, no 16/9 flag.

Ever notice how YouTube "HD" is almost never up to broadcast SD spec?

We are repeating VHS here. The consumer wants buzz words not picture quality.

[minidv2dvd]

agreed, HD on youtube is for 8 inch embedded players, not 42 inch displays.

still it's lightyears better than what came before. my stuff from the old SD only tube is worse than hand cranked 20s b&w.

My initial thoughts are too vulgar to post.

I plugged in my new computer to the 55", played a Youtube HD stream fullscreen, and it looked about as clean as one of my SLP mode S-VHS tapes. That's not awful, mind you -- but it's not "HD quality" either.

thanks everyone your tips and tricks worked out great I appreciate all the help!
