export in premiere

**browna3** · 03-27-2009, 12:04 PM

OK, I have some university work that i want to upload onto youtube, however these pieces of work are only 3 mins each yet when I export them they are well over 500mb. My question is what would be the best way to export them to get a small video size but still retaining as much of the quality as possible.

And i do have Adobe encoder if there is an option through that.

Thank guys

export to codec h.264 if you can out of premiere, its same quality with much less file size
youtube needs 1270 * 640 for the widescreen

I have sony vegas 6 (an older version now) the export to h.264 doesnt work well at all
so I export to wmv and then convert to h.264 codec in mp4 file with media coder (free)

these are the settings i use, these are basically the default settings, you can up the bitrate from 3000 to 5000
