Export settings for Interlaced video

Hi there,
I am looking to export a short movie, made entirely in Premiere Pro 6 - with many effects like colour correction.
My footage is 1080i 25fps, once I select the preset under H.264 HD 1920x1080i 25 I get a standard set of setting but my file comes to 4.2gb. The VBR is set to 32 with max at 40.
Are these the best determined settings? If I lowered the bit rate to 20, it lowers it to 2gb but will i retain the same quality?
Also, Ive noticed interlaced doesn't work so well at times, If i were to export as HD 1080p 25 fps will my video come out distorted?
Id love to trial and error, but each render takes about 4 hours! (and that's with VBR 1 pass)
Also, i wish to export to Youtube and keep a copy on my PS3. I wouldn't mind the size, but as you know fat32 only allows 4GB max to be transferred to a USB and PS3 is a Fat32 system so Im unable to transfer.
Would you recommend one generic export or a different one for Youtube and my PS3... bearing in mind that it is a short movie (20 mins)

My cameras records PAL at 21mbps AVCHD or 28mbps in progressive model.
I have tried ramping up the finished movie to 30 with a max of 35 and also exported at 20.  Seen on a 55" tv or projected does not show any significant difference.
The standard Youtube and Vimeo export presets work well for me, typically they export at 5mbps. 
For the PS I would export specifically at the max rate that you can get the finished export on your PS

  • Best export settings for HD video playback on computer?

    I have shot my video on 1080p witha DSLR and edited it in premiere pro. I exported the video in .mp4 format.
    Now i imported the video in after effects and added loads of animation. I want to export it to the best quality for playback ON COMPUTER ONLY. Which is the best export settings for this purpose.
    I rendered it in .avi and my 12 minute video had a size of 55GB after render and did not play smoothly in the computer.. PLEASE HELP WITH THE BEST SETTINGS for the above purpose.

    You messed up. You should NOT have rendered MP4 out of Premiere to use in AE. You're adding compression and quality loss in between stages. BAD video person!
    The easiest thing to do would be to import your Premiere project in AE. That way it can use the original footage too. If, for some reason, you can't do that, you should render a lossless file out of Premiere. Speaking of lossless files, that's what you rendered out of AE. This page explains your large AE file issue.
    Anyway, take that large file you render out of AE into the Adobe Media Encoder and render out your final compressed file. Either H.264 or WMV should work well for playback.

  • CS4 Premiere Pro EXPORT settings for embedding videos in PDF

    I am trying to embed a few short videos into a PDF ebook and my PDF file size is massive.  I want the videos to still look good quality as I put a lot of effort into making high quality videos for my ebook. 
    Does anybody have any advice for export settings in Premiere Pro for the use in PDF documents?  I've played around with the various preloaded export settings but I'm wondering if I can customize the settings to look good in a PDF. 
    (I realize Acrobat will convert the video into flash for consistent play-black)
    (And not sure if this matters but my current videos are 60fps 1280 x 720 HD shot with a Canon 7D)
    All advice would be greatly appreciated!!

    Unfortunately, you have posted to the Pr (the precursor to PrPro) forum, so you'll likely not get as much traffic for your thread, as you would in the PrPro forum. Maybe our tireless MOD's can move it out for you, so you'll get more "eyes." Here is the Adobe Premiere Pro Forum.
    Good luck,

  • Best export settings for HD video to DVD

    hello, I now use premier pro cs5, from cs4 on my mac, love it, but I shoot with a cannon XL H1s HD video, my questiion is when viewing video from camera or on the screen in cs5, perfect hd picture, but when I export to DVD, i see in the media encoder if I choose mpeg2-DVD it goes output to 720x480, how do I export to dvd for the best HD seetings for DVD to get a HD playback on the DVD, now I see an OK video on the TV playback, but not the same as the original recording, can anyone help,, thanks in advance for any help.....

    I found (via a friend who is experienced in Pr & En) that it all comes down to the export/authoring settings.
    In Pr, my export settings needed to be adjusted as follows:
    Format: MPEG2-DVD
    Preset: PAL Progressive Widescreen High Quality
    Selected 'DVD' in the Basic Settings section of the
    Multiplexer tab (this creates a single mpeg file rather than a m2v file which has a separate video and audio file)
    Selected the highest possible quality (5) in the Basic Video Settings section of the Video tab, changed the TV Standard to PAL (to suit Australian TVs) and then
    Set the minimum/target/maximum bitrate settings to 8Mbps (when I set it at 9Mbps, the final file had too high a bitrate for DVD)
    In the Audio tab, I selected PCM as the audio type.
    I also ensured that the Use Maximum Render Quality checkbox was ticked at the bottom of the export settings window.
    Then I exported.
    Once encoding was complete I opened Encore, started a new project, selected DVD as the authoring mode and PAL as the Television Standard within the Basic settings for the new project. I then imported the final mpeg file as a timeline into Encore, set all the appropriate first play/title button/end play functions as necessary, then I opened the Edit Quality Presets window from the File menu and made the following settings;
    Format: MPEG2-DVD
    Presets: PAL DV High quality 8Mb CBR 1 Pass
    Basic Video Settings - Quality: set to maximum (5)
    Basic Video Settings - Field Order: None (Progressive)
    Basic Video Settings - Pixel Aspect Ratio: Widescreen 16:9
    Basic Video Settings - Bitrate Settings - Bitrate [Mbps]: set to maximum (9)
    Basic Audio Settings - Audio Format Settings: Audio Format: PCM
    click OK
    Then I authored the DVD and was quite pleased with the result. Still not quite to the quality I was hoping for (i.e. the quality of a DVD movie), but still a significant improvement on my initial attempts using default Pr & En settings.
    Hope it helps

  • Best FCP QT export settings for HD video to Keynote?

    I am exporting 3-5 minute long HD video clips shot at 1080i and then deinterlaced in FCP. These short vids will be embedded within Keynote, which is starting to have a problem with these 1gb to 2gb files (when exported at h264.)
    HDV already reduces image sharpness it is. I want to keep the quality/footage sharpness up as high as possible. The selected video size ends up being about 1065 x 569, but that is a size, not a sharpness, one of the things I always found confusing when referring to it as "resolution".
    So what settings would you suggest when outputting via FCP?

    I found (via a friend who is experienced in Pr & En) that it all comes down to the export/authoring settings.

  • Best export settings for SVHS video from Premiere Elements 12

    Hi
    when I view my SVHS video on screen via premiere elements 12 the quality looks very good. However, when I edit the video and save, the quality is quite poor.
    I need to know what is the best settings to save my video. Can anyone point me in the right direction. Thank you Tom

    TD
    I have some questions to ask and some suggestions to make for your consideration after you have concluded your discussions with SG.
    1. Am I assuming correctly that you used a firewire connection for your ADVC-55 capture? And, if so, what did you capture into - Premiere Elements 12 Capture Windows to give you DV AVI Type 2? In the gspot readout (to the left of the dialog), what does it say about the Container.
    2. Assuming that you have DV AVI Type 2 (4:3) files saved to your computer hard drive, have you tried
    For DVD-VIDEO PAL Standard Format on DVD disc
    a. Open Premiere Elements 12 new project to Expert workspace, File Menu/New/Project and Change Settings....Change project preset to PAL DV Standard....before leaving that area, making sure you have a check mark next to "Force Selected Project Setting on This Project".
    b. Then back in the Premiere Elements 12 workspace, Add Media/Files and Folders/Project Assets from where you drag you DV AVI to the Timeline.
    c. After edits and maybe menu application,
    Publish+Share/Disc/DVD burn to disc
    check mark next to "Fit Content to Available Space"
    Preset = PAL Dolby DVD
    Before hitting Burn in the burn dialog, note what the readings are in the burn dialog for Space Required and Bitrate. If the Bitrate is 8.00 Mbps at that point, that is good. More on that later.
    For Export To File (AVCHD.mp4)
    If you want to export, your Timeline to a file saved to the computer hard drive, please consider
    Publish+Share
    Computer
    AVCHD
    MP4 - PAL DV Standard
    If your details are other than that which I assumed, please let us know.
    We will be watching for further discussions and results.
    Thank you.

  • Best export settings for online video

    Hi there,
    Im looking for some advice on the best way of exporting a sequence, keeping very high quality of the sequence, but not taking an age to upload them.
    i have tried various settings but i seem to be having problems with either the file size being two big or the quality of my titles and logos in the video are grainy and low quality.
    please advise as soon as possible!
    Thank you!

    Hi, Thanks,
    It has a lot of magic bullet, and misfire vignette throughout, also snow using trap code particular in after effects, (the outdoor shots are imported after effects aep) also some speed change in places and a number of adjustment layers with various effects (blurs etc). So I guess pretty 'effect heavy'
    But the exported video looks absolutely beautiful from a quality point of view on my pc, and I assumed once exported these effects are completely embedded in the file and so have no bearing if you we're to re encode it (maybe I'm wrong)
    Bizarrely, I've checked it again this morning, and it looks much better!? Maybe YouTube takes a while to finish final encoding or something, but offers a lower res preview until complete?
    Also having done some reading, I think maybe 720p is a better option rather than 1080 as this is ultimately what youtube encodes to (as far as I'm aware)
    Really disappointed to have such an 'HD' video on my pc and pixelated video on YouTube!
    I've seen some absolutely beautiful videos on YouTube over the years ( from a quality point of view) so it must be possible!
    Thanks so much for your help, ill upload an example shortly

  • What are the best export settings for a HD video in Premier Pro CS4?

    Hi!
       I've been having so much trouble with this issue and it's something that continually frustrates my boss. I have a HD video the settings for it are
    FPS 23.98
    1920 x 1080, then a few lines down it says 1408 x 792
    16 bit,
    2 channels
    48000 Hz
       What should the settings be when I make a new sequence?
                 When I look at it in the window in Premiere Pro I have to contantly 'shrink' the image to fit the window, is that something I should be doing or does it indicate the sequence settings are incorrect?
    But more importantly what should the export settings be? I exported a 4 minute long video and the size was 1 GB, I know that's too big.
    I need to export it without loosing any quality and export another one that meets the Youtube and Vimeo limits on size.
    Vimeo is 500 MB per week, sometimes I upload 4 videos per week. I think Youtube you can only upload 500 MB at a time.
    I need to get smaller sizes with loosing the least amount of quality possible AND the best export settings for quality, so I guess I have 3 separate questions-
    What are the best sequence settings for HD video?
    What are the best export settings for HD without loosing any quality?
    What are the best export settings for the size to come out around 500 MB with loosing the least amount of quality possible?
    Thank You!

    On the above thread I used the 5th anwer, and it's going to take about 7 hours to export a 4 minute video :/

    It Stands for "Coder Decoder."
    Your format is like a container for your video file. Certain containers can hold certain codecs and not others. Other containers can hold other codecs. Sometimes different containers can hold the same codecs.
    This might be a bad analogy but I'll give it a try.
    A coffe cup (container) can hold pretty much any liquid you drink, where a red solo cup (container) won't hold scolding water. So, the coffe cup would be your container of choice most likely because it has the most options for liquids (codecs). But, you might want a red solo cup for just a single crappy beer at a party (a moderate quality streaming video on the web). In that case, you don't need all the optoins of another container.
    In Premiere Pro CC H.264 is a Container and the Codec in one option. This has been streamlined for web distrobution of video to be played in browsers without things like Flash or special players.
    Were as if you choose the QuickTime Container there are over 40 codec optoins (at least on my machine with additinal ones installed) but you may run into an issue where your browser doesn't support QuickTime playback.
    I would say that your container is for compatability with players and your codec is taken into consideration when looking at the quality of the compression.
    Yesteraday I wrote a blog entery on Exporting from Premiere Pro and found that the MPEG-4 codec inside of the QuickTime container gave me much richer colors than the H.264 container/codec option.
    I posted the link before but here it is:

  • Best export settings for video for web

    Can anyone give me some advice on the best export settings for a short video that is to be viewed on the web? I have some short, say 2 minute videos that need to be placed on a website and need a reasonable file size. What would the best Format and Preset options be in Premiere? Would it be helpful to utilize After Effects to reduce file size? Thank you in advance to anyone who has some advice!!

    For now, it would be on my own website or a clients website. But there may
    be another possibility, I have a client that already has some videos
    available for viewing on their website, looks like they are YouTube videos
    that play on their site, and there is an option to "Watch on YouTube". So I
    guess I would love some recommended export settings for a straightforward

  • FCE export settings for higher quality video

    Hello. I'm a self-schooled newspaper video features producer and relative newcomer to Final Cut Express, shifting from Premium Elements. I've just begun using it to upload videos to my newspaper's finicky web system, which will only accept .flv files of a certain size. My modus operandi has been to export my videos as large .avi files, using Quicktime conversion and DV/DVCPRO/NTSC, with medium quality, with 16 bit sound set at 32 Khz. Then I run that .avi through the Adobe Flash Media Encoder with a frame rate of 15 fps, deinterlacing and resizing the screen to 640 by 480. This procedure (outlined by our former video editor) produces serviceable web quality video (You can see video that results from using these settings at http://wvgazette.com/multimedia). So, two questions: 1) I have created an 8-minute FCE music video for my band and wish to export it at a higher quality (for use on Vimeo) than these newspaper settings. Which of them do I change so that a higher quality video results without waiting all night for a massive file to upload? 2) And wthere might I turn for guidance on better understanding the Sanskrit of FCE video export settings for newbies? Thanks for any help.

    The simplest way to produce good quality video for the internet is:-
    1. File>Export Using QT Conversion.
    2. The "Format" window should say, "QT Movie".
    3. In "Use" select "LAN/Intranet" from the dropdown menu.
    4. Click "Save" and when it has finished encoding, upload it.
    Do not mess about altering audio settings, frame rates etc.
    Using the above settings an 8 minute video would be encoded in around 20 minutes (depending on computer speed) and would be well under 100MB.
    Is that too big?

  • FCE-HD export settings for slideshow

    Hey dear specialists,
    I need to have a help for the export settings for a slideshow
    I am using FCE-HD 4.01 on either MacBookPro with Mountain Lion or on my old G5 with 10.6
    Input are slides in JPEG with 15MByte Pixel.
    As soon as I am using transition of a picture the result in export in all setting I can choose from FCE, which I found out is very bad, because picture has the interlacing effects at the borders
    What can I change to get a good result
    Thanks in advance for the feedbacks
    Best regards
    FJ
    N.b.:  screenshot abstract >>>> see right hand video lines

    Hey Russ,
    the video rate of the object does not change when I manipulate on the easy setting
    If I import pictures, I do this directly from pircture folder into the BIN, and that should be independently from video input setting
    The frame rate should also not be a problem for me here in Germany, because working directly from MAC to flatscreen
    I put you a screenshot of the new sequence
    The Mov output looks not that bad, even if one looks into detail see picture attached, the steps between one and next frame creates problems
    I try also to send you the latest version of a slide transiltion example in iPhone quality ( this can not be attached ) it is a 2MB file. If you like I send you by email.
    looks a bit improved vs the morning, but I do not feel confident.
    What do you think?

  • Best PE7.0 export settings for Youtube HD, Vimeo or Smugmug?

    Hi all,
    I'm really new to video editing and I can't find any recommendations on the best Premiere Elements 7 export settings for Youtube HD, Vimeo or Smugmug. It seems like most of them want you to upload in 1280x720.
    My original source is 1920x1080 30p AVCHD from a Canon HF100. Obviously, I would like to keep it at the same frame rate. There doesn't appear to be a preset in PE7 (or a way at all) to output 1280x720 30 into an MPEG container with H.264 encoding. When I go into the advanced properties of a preset like "H.264 1920x1080i 30" or "MPEG2 1920x1080i 30" and choose 1280x720, I no longer have an option for 29.97 fps - the only options are 23.976 or 24 fps. It seems bad to change this, right?
    I see the preset for "HD 720p 30" which appears to be MPEG encoding of the video stream instead of H.264. This seemed to work OK, but I wasn't sure about it, because when I choose it I see in the description a line that says TV Standard: NTSC. A number of web sites indicate that H.264 is preferred, but I don't really understand why.
    I also found a way to do H.264 in a Quicktime container. This seemed a little suboptimal because you can't do variable bitrate. When I unselected the "select bitrate" checkbox, it seemed like a quality of 50 yielded a .mov file with a bit rate of 2.87Mb/s, and a quality of 100 yielded a .mov file with a bit rate of 26Mb/s. It is confusing to me how the quality setting affects the bitrate on the quicktime containers.
    I'm leaning towards using the "HD 720p 30" preset and working with the bit rate choices, but am open to comments. What do others think?
    And on a related question - assuming we choose the "HD 720p 30" preset as a starting point, given the 1GB file restriction at Youtube, it seems to make sense to choose a bitrate that allows both good quality and reasonable file size. I don't know much about whether VBR 1 pass, 2 pass or CBR would be best for this kind of online HD video. Google is a little unhelpful here: http://www.google.com/support/youtube/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=132461
    This page (http://webvideotechniques.com/123/bigger-and-better-encoding-for-youtube-hd) seems to indicate aiming for a bitrate of 8Mbps with a minimum of 4Mbps, including 2 pass VBR.
    So, basically, I'm confused and a little overwhelmed. I think I have solutions that work, but it's hard to tell. What does the greater community think? Thanks.

    Thanks very much E Mann, that was a very helpful thread. I think it actually would apply for youtube as well. For other users, here's a direct link to the settings for Premiere Elements:
    http://eugenia.gnomefiles.org/2007/12/08/exporting-with-adobe-premiere-in-720p/
    Roughly, the answer is:
    Quicktime container
    Video codec: H.264
    Quality: 80 (I used 100 and it just takes longer to encode)
    Frame Rate: 29.97 (I guess if you are shooting in 24p, this might be different)
    Bitrate: 5000 (I might try 8000)
    Audio codec: AAC
    Output channels: Stereo
    Frequency: 48kHz
    Now, my own personal changes to this recipe are:
    Quality: 100 - takes longer to encode, no file size difference
    Bitrate: 8000
    Frequency: 44kHz (recommended by youtube)
    One final note is that for Vimeo it appears you may have to try encoding in 29.97 or 23.97 and test to see which you like better. Apparently Vimeo caps fps at 24.
    The nice thing about this is that you can get a quality video directly out of Premiere Elements and you don't have to pipe it through another program.

  • Best export settings for DNxHD?

    Hey guys,
    I'm working with R3D files (4KHD) in CS6 and need to export them for grading/editing in DNxHD at 1080p. Any tips on the best export settings for this?
    Also - is it necessary to downconvert the 4KHD in some way to 1080p before the export process? The files I'm ending up with are a noticeably poorer quality than the original; I'm not sure if this is due to an error I've made during the conversion or if its a natural part of using the codec?
    Thanks if you can help!
