Export Settings Question

Hi
I have finished editing my first project in FCPX.  I am a video newbie. 8)
Its a music video for one of my songs.
It looks great and Its been a steep learning curve.
I need to export the music video now, so it can go off to a video production house where they will transfer it to digital betacam tape so it can be
broadcast here in Australia (I have applied the broadcast safe effect to the video)  The audio has been mastered and I am literally ready to go.
I set the project to have its settings, for the video, based on the first imported clip.
All clips were shot on my canon hfs20 at 1080 25pf
When it imported the clips, I transcoded the footage.
Now, I check the project settings, and its 1080 25i.
I export the project at current settings, and it gives me a really fast output...and the resultant movie is (when checked in
the quicktime inspector)
Apple ProRes 422, 1,920 x 1,080
Linear PCM, 24 bit little-endian signed integer, 48000 Hz, Stereo (L R)
FPS 25
Data Rate 113.05 Mbit/s
Now when I watch the exported video, it looks okay, but I can see a little serated edge on some of the up close shots of my face....(interlacing?)
When I watch the video from within FCPX I dont see this.
Help!
I tried outputting to H.264 and its still there, though the file size is much smaller. Its about one tenth.
I assumed in my discussion with the video production house, where I told them what frame rate etc I shot at. And that the video had been transcoded to Pro Res 422 that I would just export the project, at the project settings , and all should be good to send to them.  But I am concerned by the interlacing (If thats what it is).
I really find all this codec based stuff extremely confusing and would greatly appreciate some guidance.
cheers

I may be getting too picky here.
It might be just on the clips that I ran stabilization on because they were handheld.  If I pause the video on those shots I can see the serations, but on the shots where the camera was stabel, cant see them. That is probably it and I am probably being too finicky.
cheers

  • Export settings question AME 5.5/ OSX

    I have an .mov in the AME cue, I need to trim a bit of the file and when I go to the export settings I do not see the mov in the window. If I move the scrubber I see "rendering" but thats it.
    Any help plz?

    Let me guess: OSX Lion. If so, then this is a bug introduced by Lion, and we're working with Apple on a resolution.

  • Basic audio export settings questions ...

    I did some searching, but still confused.   My footage is 1080i, 29.97 captured on a consumer camcorder with a 5.1 channel microphone.   When I drop the clips in PP I see the audio track labeled as 5.1 and can expand to see the various channels.   I have a number of sequences in my project, all of which were created by dragging a source clip to the New Item icon.
    On export for say H.264 Blu-ray or H.264/.mp4 should I pick PCM or Dolby in this case?   From reading it looks like PCM is uncompressed, so in theory higher quality.  I didn't know if the 5.1 stuff has implications here.
    Drilling down into the Audio tab and Basic Audio Settings on the H.264 Blu-ray export, I only see Stereo listed to the side of Channels for either audio format.   I'm confused as I would have expected to see 5.1 or some option for it.  Well, I think ...

    You'll have to pay to get 5.1 Dolby export out of PP.  Only stereo is included for free.

  • Ultra-newb export settings questions

    First day with Compressor (3.5) here and of course in a rush.
    I have a short (total 13 mins in 4 parts) .mov created in Final Cut and exported in 960x540, same as the original footage. The client wants this delivered as .wmv or mpeg-1 files to make a DVD.....legacy formats I've been led to understand. Anyway, that's the brief and after experimenting with Compressor and Quicktime export (via Flip4Mac to .wmv), looking at the Compressor manual and online tutorials etc I still can't seem to get a good-looking final product, or one that's not squashed out of shape (mpeg-1).
    This has to be delivered tomorrow if possible, if anyone could walk me through this I'd be very grateful. I come from an audio background so the processes and terminology aren't too unfamiliar but I just can't seem to get a good result.
    Many thanks

    The client wants this delivered as .wmv or mpeg-1 files to make a DVD
    While MPEG-1 is allowed under the DVD-Video specification, WMV is not. However, MPEG-1 is very low quality. Normally, DVD video is multiplexed MPEG-2 specially formatted as VOB files.
    If you want to encode for WMV, you can do that with the appropriate flip4mac plugin, but it isn't for DVD - except as a data disc (DVD ROM).

  • Weird Bug / Export Settings / Workflow Question

    I keep running into this issue and have been unable to find a solution for it. I'm exporting HD video sequences (1080i 60i preset) from premiere pro CS4 using Adobe Media Encoder. I want to create files that are nice high quality without being huge, since I have to send these off to clients on a vast array of different systems, both mac and pc, and they have to be delivered via web.
    I found that the H.264 apple ipod video large preset in AME works very well as far as file size / quality. The problem is, for whatever reason, this codec does not seem to play properly on 99% of clients systems, the playback seems to jump from one frame to the next and back, its a very odd looking jitter type issue. And no, not everyone is on a PC, even folks on MACs here in the office have the same issue playing it in quicktime. I'm stumped as to what is causing that, but I assume its a codec / quicktime issue, maybe not though...
    So, in an effort to curtail that, I tried exporting video from AME as quicktime and changing the quicktime codec to H.264. The problem with that route is the files are huge. They play stably, but I can't send a 2gb file over the web in any reasonable timeframe.
    If anyone could help me out either by telling me how I'm screwing up my export settings, or if they have a setting that works better I'm all ears. This has gotten incredibly frustrating.

    I use to have the same exact issue when sending files to my clients for review.
    What I starded doing is exporting to windows avi and throwing the file in..... believe it or not! windows movie maker to make it smaller and email it.
    The TV Station that I do work for can only accept 5mb size files via email and that's the only way they want it.
    They don't want to deal with "YouSendIt" or anything else. Of course the files I send are only 30seconds long. TV ads. but that was my workaround.
    They did not get the best quality delivered but it's pretty good for them to see the ad and approve it.
    They said it plays clean that way and I haven't had any more complaints.
    those are my 2 cents, hope it helps.

  • What are the best export settings to use...

    Operating system: Vista SP1
    Camera: Canon HF100 (1900x1080 HD quality 29.97fps) -- uses AVCHD compression which is H.264 I believe.
    I'm able to watch my camera video files in Vista nicely. However, I'm having trouble with the watching the results of my edited and exported videos. Assuming I want the same quality and playability as the source video, what settings should I use in the export?
    In the export settings window... I select:
    Format: H.264
    Preset: HDTV 1080p 29.97 High Quality
    Source files have the extension: .m2ts
    ...I don't change the other values. Then I export. Now the result is an .mp4 file which does not play in Windows Media Player. It does play in Quicktime or iTunes however it plays jerkily... I would like to be able to play it as smoothly as the original source plays... And I'd like to be able to play it in windows media player just as the source can be played in media player. Media player seems to play the source more smoothly than does iTunes or Quicktime.
    So what are the best export settings for me so that I can watch my edited HD video on my computer as easily as the source footage???
    I've been able to edit and save the results of the edit using the crappy ImageMixer3 video editor that comes with the camera. The results are perfect and play in windows media fine. The files it exports the edited video as is the same as the soure... the file extension is .m2ts
    So the problem is how to get Adobe to export the edited video to an .m2ts file or at least to a file type that plays as nicely in my system?

  • Best quicktime export settings - compression - from final cut pro

    i have done this for a while. still don't know.
    to translate an ntsc 24p project onto a dvd, which export settings (compressor)do you use in final cut pro? i use current settings, and once i am done with idvd ("best quality") it just doesn't look high quality. is this an idvd question?
    powermac g5 2.7 ghz dual   Mac OS X (10.4)   2.5 gb ram

    I didn't know iDVD could handle 24fps project. Or is it a 29.97 (23.98 with a pulldown).
    Best quality in iDVD just means that it works on it longer to compress it more to fit more on disk. Have you tried Best Speed version?

  • Exporting Images Questions

    Hi,
    I basically understand all of LR except for the only part that matters - getting my images out of LR for various purposes such as standard printing, enlargements, work website, personal website (in the future), Facebook etc. I'll save most of my web-related questions for another thread.
    I don't have a printer, so I'm mostly interested in saving images to jpegs to take to a print shop (and possibly send online to some place like Shutterfly) and get them printed in good/high quality and untarnished (i.e. cropped or other manipulations by the print shop). I also live overseas in an undeveloped and unsophisticated country, so I have the language/concept challenge of explaining what I want to print shops. I'm having my own trouble with the concepts I also think in inches, but have to convert/work in cm.
    1) I'll start with the most dumb question. In the Export dialogue, is "Image Sizing" the physical size that I am trying to make the print?
    2) Is the aspect ratio affected by the Image Sizing settings? For example, if I have a 4:3 image but want it printed 4x6 inches or 5x7 or 8x10 etc. what happens in the Export dialogue? I think the image would get cropped, but I'm not sure
    3) What do I do for enlargements? For example, I want to make a 4x6 inch print and then a 20x30 inch print of the same image? What settings do I need to change? I assume with an enlarged image I need to be careful of exceeding the original file size. Next question...
    4) Is Image Sizing > "Don't Enlarge" the way to prevent the file size from exceeding the original file size? Or, is "Limit File Size to xxx" in File Settings the way to do this? I see no way  in LR of knowing what my original file size is; or what it is after some cropping - the file size changes after cropping, right?
    5) According to many (but not all), "Quality" in File Settings does not need to = 100. If I understand correctly, it's actually a 12-step scale that dramatically increases the file size in the last few steps of the scale with practically no discernible improvements. I wonder how the "Quality" setting might affect the print quality at various physical print sizes?  Should "Quality" be set differently for prints vs. web? I don't really know what the file size of the image is after exporting until I open the properties.
    6) A friend told me to just set print Resolution to 300 and web Resolution to 100 because it'll be easier to make calculations about pixels, image size and file sizes.
    My friend also showed me Photoshop (which I don't have), and it seemed easier to get information about physical size, pixels, image size etc. I also looked at the LR Print Module, but I don't see anything in the module that clarifies my confusion about the above questions. Maybe some answers above will also help me understand how to export/save/upload images for my web-related purposes.
    Ultimately, I think I'm trying to get a set of user presets for the various needs I might want and I apologize if I'm just not understanding the concepts or confusing them.
    Thanks
    Andrew

    Thank you Jim. It's getting me toward the right direction. I've been experimenting with all different types of export settings to try and learn what is happening in LR.
    I basically understand the concept of the # of pixels to print size.
    However, for example:
    1) I have an image from my OMD-EM1 that I shot in 4:3
    2) I crop it to 2x3/4x6 in the Develop module > Cropping Tool. (But, LR never shows the crop size or file size)
    3) I export it and set 6 inches by 4 inches in the Image Sizing dialog at 300 ppi
    (Let's leave Quality at 100 for ease)
    I fully understand that the image comes out at 1200x1800. The file size is 2.84 MB
    I can tell the print shop to print a 4x6 inch print. It won't be cropped and it should have good quality.
    4) Now I want a print of the same image at 20 inches x 30 inches (same aspect ratio and crop)
    5) I export it and set 30 inches by 20 inches in Image Sizing at 300 ppi (9000 by 6000 pixels)
    (Quality is the same at 100)
    The file size is now 37 MB. This is going to be a problem, right? Pixalation??
    If I go back to the original RAW file, the file size is 18 MB. Now, I have a file twice the size of the original.
    I was told that you don't ever want to exceed your original file size.
    If I drop the Quality to 90 and keep ppi at 300, then the file size is 16 MB.
    Or if I reduce the ppi to 150 (keeping Quality at 100), then the file size is about 10 MB.
    Is there going to be any difference in the final print?
    Btw, I don't see any way in LR to find out what my original file size is; my cropped file size or what my exported file size will be until after I export it and open the properties tab or scroll over it.
    I think Photoshop has a built-in print size/pixels/image size calculator.
    I have no idea what I would do if I manually cropped something to a non-typical aspect ratio and then wanted to print it. But, that's probably another topic/thread.
    Also, remember I live in Cambodia. I don't have the luxury of sending online to a quality print service or take to a real print shop. I have no idea what they use for printers here or how they set them up, but one problem is that they like to make everyone look "white"
    Thanks again and apologies again for not quite understanding.

  • What project settings and export settings to use ?

    So, after some trial and error i give up and need some huge help. (7.0 Pro)
    I have recorded some footage through a game running at 1920:1200 resolution. So the question is what project settings should i choose under project, look at the picture below for example. Some times i get a large black area around the finished video, while one time it came out as a 4:3 vid....
    http://bildr.no/view/468733
    Further more, when i am done editing i want to export it uncompressed to the disk in the same format 1920:1200 (which is 16:10). Which settings should i then choose?
    http://bildr.no/view/468734
    Thx for any help you might be able to provide. Btw! Basically, what i want is just plain editing, no cropping of edges, resizing etc, i just want to take the raw video, edit it, and make a new file out of it with the same properties as the raw vid (source).

    Your pixel aspect ratio and field order are wrong. You want PAR set to "square pixels" and field order set to "Progressive (None)". Do the same for your export settings.

  • Please help with highest quality export settings...

    I have searched the forum and web for hours (no joke!) and I am still trying to figure out what are the best video settings to give me the highest HD quality video in daylight. I am using a Canon HF200 and the latest updated version of FCE. My problem is that I am unable to produce an HD quality video at 1920 x 1080 Full HD without being "jagged". I have two questions; what do you suggest to be the best FCE import and export settings to produce the best HD video, and what settings do you have your HF200 set to (for normal daylight conditions), to produce the best HD video file? The file will be played directly thru my computer to a plasma HDTV.
    I have tried several settings, but using anything above 1280x720 16:9, makes the video "jagged". Again, I don't care about the size of the file or how long it takes, I just want the best. Is there something I am missing?
    My FCP settings are the following:
    I log and transfer the video from the camera into FCP (on a black MacBook; 2.16 GHz with 4 GB RAM) using the AVCHD Apple Intermediate Codec 1920 x 1080i source. I then export the video using the following:
    Export using "Quicktime Conversion".
    Quicktime options video settings are:
    Frame Rate set to "Current"
    Key Frames set to every "24" frames
    Compressor quality: "best" (Encoding set to "best quality")
    Data Rate set to "automatic"
    Quicktime options video size are:
    "HD 1280 x 720 16:9" (anything higher produces the jags!)
    Deinterlace source video is NOT checked
    My Canon HF 200 settings are the following:
    - P mode
    - FXP (17 Mbps)
    - 60i framerate
    all others are set to the normal default
    I have read some reports saying the above is good and others suggesting changing FXP to MXP (24 Mbps) and/or the framerate from 60i to PF30. I don't care about the size of the file, I just want the highest quality HD file.
    Any suggestions for the best FCE settings and/or HF200 settings would be very much appreciated!
    Thanks for your help,
    Evan

    Thanks again for the feedback
    Let me try my best to answer the above (I'm new at all this and I appreciate you guys taking the time to try and help me out).
    First off, I tried rendering and that did not help.
    Here is my sequence. I am not going into FCE from the camera directly. I have archived the video file from the camera using iMovie (as well as just making an exact copy of the camera files; they both appear to me to be the exact same, both can be logged and transferred into FCE, and both files give me a jagged FCE result).
    Once I log and transfer the file(s), I then take the clip and add it to a sequence file (rendering or not rendering the clip(s) at this point does not make a difference), and then click/highlight the sequence file in the browser and export it.
    As for "editing the video in a 1920x1080i60 sequence", I think I am. I am not doing any editing to the clip. It is logged and transferred using the AVCHD Apple Intermediate Codec 1920 x 1080i and then exported using either as a Quicktime Movie or Quicktime Conversion (set for 1920 x 1080 using H.264 compression; both ways still result in a jagged video).
    That's about it...log and transfer, add clip to sequence, and then export sequence...
    I hope this answers the above, but if not, I apologize; I'm still learning!
    Also, if I use iMovie, with similar export (share) settings, I get a non-jagged video (I have tried with deinterlacing and not deinterlacing, and both video results are fine)
    Thanks again,
    Evan

  • Export Settings for CD/print

    I have been searching for the answer for a while now and finally just gave up and thought I would ask.
    I want to export images to be given to my clients for them to print wherever they choose. What should the export settings be to allow them to print with good quality up to an 8x10? Anything larger I want the quality to be bad so that way if they want a larger print they will need to purchase it from me.
    I am not concerned about image cropping just quality.
    Thanks
    And if you know of a good file compression program so i can email the images, that would help also. I am trying Stuffit but have yet to decide if I want to buy it or not.

    leonieDF
    thanks for the response. I ordered the book by hitting the Buy Book button. After receiving the book and not being happy with some of the colour rendition I starting browsing around Aperture. At first I thought that perhaps my on-screen proofing profile wasn't compatible with how Apple does the printing, then I started looking at the export settings. I guess its my lack of understanding on how the book gets assembled/exported that led to my question.
    I still have a lot to learn about Aperture.

  • 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:

  • Sound has no valid device sound path although exporting device sounds was requested in the export settings. This sound will be ignored.

    I have bopped around the forums here for a while now, and while other people seem to have had the same problem as I am having in the past, I come to find that all of the solutions that have worked for others, do not in fact, work for me.
    I am running Flash Professional CS6 On an Acer Aspire. 4 Gigs of RAM, 500 Gigs of HD.
    The exact problem that I am having is as follows:
    I record a sound bit in Audacity, Export the sound as and MP3 File on my main computer Hard Drive.
    go to File>Import>Import to Library, I locate the file that I had created, then select it to be imported to my Library.
    I then create a new layer in my timeline, Label it as sound, place a new key frame into the timeline layer at the place in the animation that i hope the sound would start, set the audio sync to stream instead of event, then press CTRL+ENTER, which initiates the Test Movie function.
    At this time, the "Output" box Pops up and it states,
    "Sound has no valid device sound path although exporting device sounds was requested in the export settings. This sound will be ignored."
    No sound is played and i cannot, for the life of me, figure out why. I have tried all the troubleshoots that i can find online. I checked the publishing settings and nothing is being Overridden, I've attempted to untick the "export device sounds" option, but it is grayed out and cannot be toggled. I have attempted switching the MP3 format sound clip to a WAV format sound clip. I have attempted to re-recording the sound clip and re-importing the clip to the library. I have checked my computers speakers and everything is in working order and i have even checked to see if other projects sound works.
    I pulled up a previous project that i had finished a while back that had loads of sound imported the exact same way and it all works exactly as i expect it too. The sound plays, there is not "Output" box claiming an issue. It seems that the issue, whatever it might be, is stuck to this project itself.
    I have even started a new project, imported and placed both the MP3 and the WAV files into the sound layer created, CTRL+ENTER, and it works just fine without problem.
    If there is anything that i might have accidentally messed up in this projected that you know about, like settings that may have been changed that would cause such an annoying and seemingly unfixable issue, please let me know. I really do not want to loose this project over such an utterly stupid error.

    I've moved your question to the Flash Pro CC forum.

  • JPG - Export Settings to XMP?

    When editing JPGs in ACR the adjustments are embedded and can be viewed in the EXIF Header (lines beginning with "crs"). But is there a way to export an XMP file from the JPG?
    I see in the ACR option to "Export Settings to XMP" when opening a JPG, yet I cannot see where a file (if any) has been saved.
    Does "Export Settings to XMP" create an xmp file somewhere when using ACR "Export Settings to XMP" with a JPG?
    Thanks,
    Russell

    I just came across a workaround by searching this forum:
    I can save a JPG as a DNG and then lock it. ACR adjustments are then saved as an XMP. That would work for my needs.
    But my 1st question remains as to whether it can be done with a JPG. Locking a JPG does not work, an EXP file is not created and ACR refuses to save any edits on a Locked JPG.

  • 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:

    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.
