Export file - best settings

When exporting to a quicktime movie file or AVI using quicktime conversion what settings should I enter for the best quality file's without worrying about how big the file will be?

Export to QuickTime Movie then go to the file and change the suffix to .mov.
You should get your Mac fixed or figure out why it can't burn discs.

Export help: best settings for 4K?

I have a 1920x1080 timeline with 4kR3D footage as well as prores422 footage in premiere pro cs6.
trying to figure out the best export settings. the best luck I've had so far is with H.264 and following settings:
HD 1080p
FrameRate: 23.976
Fiedl order: Progressive
Aspect: sq. pixels (1.0)
Profile: main
Level: 4.2
Render at maximum
VBR, 2 Pass
Target and max bitrate - both 50, as high as they will go (is this the problem??)
Use maximum render quality
Most of it looks great but there's some definite slight artifacting, digital noise in places.
Thoughts? Suggestions? Do I need to download another codec? I just need it to be as close to the timeline as possible...

Thanks Jim!
Hmm. Feel like I'm at the finish line but can't quite finalize.
Exporting a 600+ gig TGA file. Looks beautiful, but it doesn't want to play in QT, VLC etc. without freezing, going into slow motion etc. At first I thought it was a slow disc issue but other video files play off this hard drive fine.
Ideas? This problem sounding familiar?
(btw a last minute change in technical direction: Now Before it'll burn to blu-ray a colorist will work on the project in resolve and then encode (I assume) to H.264/previously mentioned suggestion.)
My export settings were:
codec: TGA
quality 100%
1920x1080
frame rate 23.976
aspect: sq pixels (1.0)
render at max depth
24 bit depth
key every frame - not checked
optimized stills - not checked
limit data under bitrate setting - not checked
render at max quality

Exporting photos for UHDTV or Native 4K TV, what are the best settings ? (File: Quality File: Color Space, Image Sizing and resolution) Or in other words; How can I get the smallest files but keep good quality for display on new UHDTV

Exporting photos for UHDTV or Native 4K TV, what are the best settings ? (File: Quality File: Color Space, Image Sizing and resolution) Or in other words; How can I get the smallest files but keep good quality for display on new UHDTV

You're welcome, and thank you for the reply.
2) Yesterday I made the subclips with the In-Out Points and Command-U, the benefit is that I've seen the clip before naming it. Now I'm using markers, it's benefit is that I can write comment and (the later) clip name at once, the drawback is that I have to view to the next shot's beginning before knowing what the shot contains.
But now I found out that I can reconnect my clips independently to the format I converted the master clip to. I reconnected the media to the original AVI file and it worked, too! The more I work with, the more I'm sold on it... - although it doesn't seem to be able to read and use the date information within the DV AVI.
1) Ok, I tried something similar within FCE. Just worked, but the file size still remains. Which codec settings should I use? Is the export to DV in MOV with a quality of 75% acceptable for both file size and quality? Or would be encoding as H.264 with best quality an option for archiving, knowing that I have to convert it back to DV if I (maybe) wan't to use it for editing later? Or anything else?
Thank's in advance again,
André

Best Settings for Exporting DVD Footage in a Movie File

Hello,
I've been trying to find the best settings for exporting DVD footage into a movie file from Adobe Premiere CS6.
I recently have been using my Magnavox DVD recorder for recording VHS tapes that I made long ago for shows and various other things, and no matter what, my footage doesn't come out as it needs to be.
Here's an example of what I did recently with my own settings:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qFV4sT7rHGs
I'm not expecting HD footage, I know these are tapes, but I'm playing the raw footage on my Xbox 360, and it looks better than this. I had to directly use the VOB files on the DVD for this, as trying to rip the files into an AVI or any other format with a DVD ripper didn't do anything, in fact it degraded the quality and made the audio not play in Premiere.
So what would be some good settings for exporting a sequence with DVD footage that is from a VHS into a movie file, preferably one that wouldn't degrade the quality?
Thanks!

First, read Why not edit mpeg http://tangentsoft.net/video/mpeg/edit.html to get a general idea of why a VOB makes a very poor source file (which is a renamed MPG, with some other stuff like menu screens)
Also, Read Bill Hunt on editing a VOB/MPG file http://forums.adobe.com/thread/464549
Once you have a DVD compliant VOB on your timeline, and understanding that a standalone DVD recorder sometimes plays fast-n-loose with "compliance" per the DVD specification, about all you can do is export to standard or widescreen DV AVI and accept the fact that re-encoding an already compressed file is just not going to give great results

Best settings for highest quality for exporting a .mov file to h.264

Hi,
I want to know what the best settings are for the highest quality for exporting a .mov file (720p50) to h.264. I want the same quality as the original.
I want to know the data rate etc.
regards,
Jeroen

There is no way to get the exact same quality when transcoding from an editing source to a highly compressed H.264 QT. However, you can get a real high quality by adjusting the data rate.
However, these things depend on the length of the original. I routinely encode H.264s with good results in the 3000-5000 data rate range. I also make sure that I use multiple pass encoding. Take a short snippet of your project (10 seconds or so), and try various bit rates until you have one you like that doesn't take forever.

What's the best settings to Export movie for smaller file sizes?

Hi, I've been working on some helmet cam footage which was taken with Xvidmpeg4.avi and was advised to convert it to dvavi for editing in PrE, this created a huge file to work with, the original footage was 206mb and the finished edited dvavi file is now 1.56gb, what settings can I use to export the movie with a much smaller file size, but hopefully try to retain some quality, to upload to places like Vimeo? I thought I would try to export it in the same as the original footage Xvidmpeg4.avi thinking this might compress it again to something like the 206mb of the original and the original was good quality footage, but PrE just hangs up with a box stating 'Xvid Status (Not Responding)' and when I try to cancel that the whole thing crashes and closes? So when I go to File > Export > Movie, what would be the best settings in:
General > File Type ?
Video > Compressor
lots of options under compressor if I select the file type as Microsoft AVI, so I'm guessing something under that would compress it to a smaller file size but what, I could spend all night trying different settings so hoping for some advice?
Or, if I'm completely in the wrong place for the settings and should be doing something else please tell me?
Thanks, Gav

Thanks for the replies, but to me it's still confusing - simply because there are so many settings, if I go to Share/Personal Computer I'm then presented with a whole load of settings
NTSC Flash Video
MPEG
DVAVI
Windows Media
QuickTime
and under each of those is a lot more advanced settings?
I'm guessing I wouldn't use flash or quicktime, so which of the others would I use and what are the advanced settings to use as I can't find anything that is .wmv or .mov
What I've done with other videos that I've exported from PrE as dvavi is then to put it through Windows Movie Maker, Publish Movie, This Computer, then put the settings to Windows Media DVD Quality (PAL) (3.0 Mps) - this seemed to be the only setting that reduced the file size considerably but still had good quality, but it's still about twice the original file size?
This all seems long winded to me, open original file, convert original file, output another file, then output the file again in something else which then results in loss of quality and a larger file than the original? I'm ending up with lots of files, was hoping just to edit in Premiere then export/publish that edited clip and that would be it, then upload to the net.
Is it not possible to just edit my original footage and save it, just like you would with something like a word document, should I be using something else and not Premiere?
Thanks.

What is the best settings to use in the export manager when exporting from Aperture 3.5 to Photoshop cc. tiff? psd? 16bit? dpi?

What are the best settings to use in the export manager when exporting from Aperture 3.5 to Photoshop cc for editing?
Should I use tiff or psd?
8bit or 16bit?
How many dpi?

That will depend on the photometric resolution of your originals. For jpegs it would be a waste of space to convert them to a higher resolution than 8bit, but if your images actually have already more than 8bit, you will want to preserve this quality. Then he 16bit format will help to prevent color clipping.
Both tiff and psd will preserve the lossless workflow. With Photoshop as external editor I would use he psd format for better support of layers and transparency, e.g., when you want to create watermark files.
The dpi will only matter, when you export the file for printing.

Best Practices for Exporting Files??

I'm new to Premiere (coming from FCP). I used Premiere months ago to compress some ProRes files to h.264 files for the web. I sent the files through Media Encoder and everything seemed fine. However, I realized after several weeks that the audio in all of the files was a few frames out of sync. Having not been a Premiere user at the time I did not do much research and decided to just use MPEG Streamclip from then on.
Now that I'm learning how to use Premiere, I looked up the issue on the forums and found that many people have had similar issues with the audio being out of sync after exporting. However, there are tons of different scenerios in which it seems to be occuring. The one common variable that I've noticed (among many of the threads, but not all) is that many of the people are exporting to a Quicktime format.
While I don't remember all the details of my export and sequence settings from my issue months ago (so I don't want to address that specific case), I am curious as to what are some "Best Practices" when exporting from Premiere Pro? Is there any advantage/disadvantage to use AME rather than exporting directly from Premiere Pro? In general, I will just be exporting as H.264 files for the web, MPEG-2 for DVD, and ProRes 422 for After Effects (or sometimes to bring into MPEG Streamclip).
I shoot almost entirely in AVCHD, and usually at 1080p 30fps. I'm running CS5 on a Macbook Pro 15" 2.0 Quad Core i7 8GB RAM.
While the question may seem broad, my main concern that I want to avoid is having the audio out of sync. But also I just want to know of any important details to keep in mind to prevent other issues.
Thanks,
Mike

> I'm running CS5...
What specific version? We're up to 5.0.4 now.
There have been bug fixes for audio/video synch in the updates. One of the fixes was for a bug in the conforming of audio and indexing of MPEG files, so you need to delete your media cache files and let Premiere Pro create new ones for this fix to take effect.

Whats the best settings for exporting a three camera youtube video on a mac book pro

I need help figureing out Whats the best settings for exporting a three camera youtube video on a mac book pro. I use 15 or 30 fps and aI cant figurwe it out [please help

chucknoris501
What version of Premiere Elements are you using on Mac?
Export your Timeline content to a .mp4 file, using export settings which have been customized under the Advanced Button/Video Tab of the export's preset.
See Publish+Share/Computer/AVCHD and .mp4 category. The exported file is then uploaded to YouTube at the YouTube web site.
If you post the properties of your source video and project settings, I will suggest the settings for the Timeline content export to file saved to the computer
hard drive for upload to YouTube at the YouTube web site.

Best settings for export to dvd

I am exporting to dvd from ppro cs5. I am on windows 7, 64 bit, 6gb ram, intel I7 core. My export - match source, highest qualtiy, looked a little glitchy in some areas and the text did not look very clear on my titles. I think that all titles are appropriate size fonts. I am using hdv footage and my timeline is set up to match the original footage. I did have a lot of excess files on my hard drive which are now deleted. I defragged about 4 times and am now trying again. I am testing two settings - the first, export to dvd, highest quality, the second, I customized to the same mpeg2-dvd, 2 pass vbr, min 2.80, target 5, max 8. Does anyone have suggestions as to how to export the "best" quality image possible to play on a computer or on a dvd?
Thanks,
Lisa

Don't use Match Sequence Setting in the export because it uses the wrong settings.
Use a mpeg2-dvd preset and tweek the settings a bit.
Make sure the fields are set to upper as the source is HDV.
Check the Use Max Render Quality.
See how that works out.

Best settings to export media to adobe media encoder

Hi I am after some help
what is the best settings to use to export footage to media encoder from premiere cs4 to adobe media encoder as a flash file.
at the moment media encoder continually stops after about 10 minutes with 30 or more minutes to go.
the footage is 3 mins long HDV and I have used after effects to key out the footage.
I have tryed flash 8 and higher with the bit rate set at 900
thanks Rodney

It's pretty easy. Once installed, the Cineform codec becomes available to any video program that accepts new codecs.
For handling HDV material Cineform products come with a program called HDLink with which you can batch-encode previously captured HDV .m2t, .mpeg, or .mov files OR capture straight to a Cineform-codec encoded .avi. The HDLink program also allows scene detection -unavailable when capturing HDV material in Premiere.
It also creates a preset in Adobe Media Encoder which, for me, came in useful when I had an h.264 .mov that would not convert in HDLink.
The more expensive Cineform products include an advanced rendering engine for Premiere which significantly improves handling of Cineform-codec material.

Best settings to export to Youtube

Hey guys, I upload 5-15minute videos on youtube. I'm looking for the best settings to upload to youtube. I'd prefer that my videos stay near top quality (1080p) while not taking too long to export/upload to youtube. Before I would export from iMovie to my desktop, which would take about 30minutes (6minute video) and then would take about 45minutes to upload. Anything faster than this would be great. Thanks so much guys.

If your not using compressor you can go to Share Master File and then in settings select Web hosting (I dont have my computer with me so Im not sure if it says web hosting or web streaming or what, but its something along those lines), then you can select the resolution you want from there. As far as export time goes, thats all based on your hardware. With youtube your average viewer wont see much of a difference between 720 and 1080 because there usually wating it on screens under 22" and some viewers on slower systems may have trouble streaming 1080 so you want to keep that in mind. Vimeo automatically converts your 1080 videos into 720 during the upload and if you truely want 1080 you have to go back and have vimeo reconvert it back to 1080. They do this because some viewers still struggle with 1080. So if your looking for fast exports and fast uploads then 720 may be your best option.

Best settings to export with Quicktime to 1080i

I made my movie with iMovie.
Now I want to export it with the best HD quality.
I use +share - export with quicktime+ and then what are the best settings?
thank in advance.

It depends.
If you are burning a BluRay Disk, use Export using Quicktime to Apple Intermediate Codec.
This will produce a very large intermediate file, but you will not need it after burning your BluRay disk with Toast 9.
Details:
Share as Quictime...
Quicktime Movie
Compression Type: AIC
Frame Rate: Current
Compressor preset: Other. interlaced, top field first
If you want to play the file on your Mac, or on a Sony PS3, you will want to create a more compressed file.
Use
1) export from iMovie using Share using Quicktime...
2) select format MPEG-4
3) select options:
a) under file format select MP4 (not MP4 ISMA)
b) under video tab select H.264
data rate in of 18000 kbits/sec
image size---1920X1080HD
frame rate---select 29.97 (I am NTSC)
key frame---select either automatic or every 24 frames
video options---select "MAIN" profile and single pass encoding
under audio tab select default AAC-LC
under streaming tab select default "not enabled"

Which are the best settings for exporting comps before edditing in Premiere Pro

Hello everyone!
As the title says, which are the best settings for exporting comps from AE to Pr.Pro and then edit them?
Let me explain: I have two comps in AE (intro and outro) and want to export them in Pr.Pro for edditing along with a fottage i shot.
When i render them the size of the files are huge (30 sec= 7GB).
Which is the best method (and settings) i can export the intro and outro to a 'normal' file size and then put them in Pr.Pro without loosing any quality??
[Comp settings: HDTV 1080 29.97 (1920x1080)]
AE and Premiere Pro both CS4

If you're rendering and exporting an intermediate video file to go from After Effects to any other piece of post-production software (such as Premiere Pro), you want to make sure that you're not losing any quality.
Most compression methods, which make movies smaller, also lose some of the image data---i.e., quality. There are a few compression methods that don't lose any image data; these are "lossless" codecs. These lossless codecs do decrease the size of a video file, but they're nowhere near as effective at decreasing size as the lossy codecs are. But file size isn't important when you're doing post-production work. Big files are a fact of life in post-production.
Examples of lossless codecs include the PNG codec and the Animation codec at the highest quality settings, both of which can be used in a QuickTime (.mov) container. I prefer the PNG codec; it's more efficient for photorealistic images, whereas Animation is more efficient for things like cartoons. There are lots of other lossless and nearly lossless codecs. A lot of people that do video editing like the Lagarith codec, but that is something that you'd have to go and get; it's not part of a standard CS5 or QuickTime installation.
See these FAQ entries for information about compression and why file sizes are big for losslessly encoded files:
"FAQ: Why is my output file huge...?"
"FAQ: What is the best format for rendering and exporting from After Effects?"
By the way, keep in mind that you don't always need to render and export an intermediate movie to go from After Effects to Premiere Pro. There are other ways to move data back and forth between these applications, including Dynamic Link. Which is best depends on the specific circumstance. See "Working with Premiere Pro and After Effects".

How to export the best quality file from FCE?

Hi people. I was wondering which is the option that I have to choose to get the best quality on an exported file from FCE4. The best quality I get is from the "Export - Quicktime movie..." option, but there is a huge compression as I see. The final product isn't as good as it should. Obviously, it won't be the same as the original material, but I was wondering if there was another way of getting a movie with much more quality, like when you use "Compressor" from the Final Cut Studio. Thanks in advance.

I imported the material through firewire (it was recorded on a miniDV tape). I respected the format of the source and the files I got are top notch. The final movie looks great on the computer, the differences come when burning it to a DVD. I'm using IDVD, and the .mov file exported through the option I mentioned.
I want to burn that .mov file to a DVD, which means there will be another compression to MPEG2 once I burn it through the DVD authoring app, but the product has some kind of "shaking" in the dark areas. It's not so bad, but I would like to get the best quality, like the ones I've got from Compressor. Is it possible using the Export - Quicktime movie option?
