Exporting in Adobe premiere CS3

[gooberman]

Im back! And my keyboard is fixed. It was so easy to replace I made a How-to video just to play with my camera. I had to cut a couple pieces out and when i exported the video the quality was not that great. It was an Hd video and I would have just uploaded the raw video but Its large and would take forever. (plus I tried that in the begining and youtube encountered an error). so does anyone have any tips on what codecs to use? I exported from premire to adobe media encoder and used an MPEG-1 codec.

You should never use Premiere as a compression program. Export using a lossless codec, or uncompressed. Then bring it into a compression program such as virtual dub mod, and compress it using whatever you like, Xvid, H.264 etc.

try selecting a QUICKTIME or an H.264 codec from Adobe Media Encoder. You will get much better results.

@LessThan I like to keep everything in adobe. Iv found they work very well together.

@sonnyboo I will Have to try this later. The main reason I went with MPEG-1 Is it offered a reasonable file size that wouldn't take forever to upload. When I upload using any of these codecs, Is it safe to use the default setting? Because Im not sure what most of the custom setting do.

I always bump the quality up all the way manually, but the presets are pretty good. In CS3, I used the QUICKTIME with H.264 codec and my web videos on YouTube maintained a lot of quality that way.

I did a cs3 h264 export this morning. Sure, its not as good as the encodes I get using x264 via handbrake, but it sure is easier, and for youtube instruction video. .good enough..
