Export Settings to Reduce Titles Fading

Quite new to Premiere Pro. Did a few searches with no hits.
I created some titles and then exported the video varying the settings. The "match sequence settings" version looks fine but as soon as I use H.264 compression, the title track fades significantly.
I tried adjusting bitrate and using different compression methods but the results are about the same. Only the "uncompressed" one looks right.
Any suggestions?

Exported (faded) version top and raw version bottom.
My primary display media will be computers since we will be sending to engineering clients and we want to make sure they are viewable there.

How do I reduce the number of audio channels in the source or export settings?

I'. trying to export my finished edit through the "movie" setting but keep getting the message that the number of audio channels to create in the exported file must be equal to, or less than the number of channels in the source. Reduce the number of audio channels in the source. Reduce the number of audio channels in the export settings. I am at a loss as to what this means and how I proceed with it prior to putting it to DVD. Please advise.

What is your source, sequence settings and export setting. Which version of PP?
Prefebly a screendump of the export settings box.

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.
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

Export Settings for iTunes

What export settings (AIFF, AU, etc) should I use to export the sound track of a music video in Mpeg4 so that it can be copied into iTunes and played via the wireless interface (Airport Express) ? Presently importing(copying an Mpeg4 into iTunes the sound will only play out over the local (computer) speakers. Quick Time will export the sound into an AIFF file and iTunes will read it, but is this the best method ?
Dennis

Export the soundtrack from Quick Time to an AIFF format file then import to iTunes. You can stop there or convert to MP3 or AAC within iTunes to reduce file size.

Best export settings? Post your tips!

I have been using iMovie for a long time. I have messed with settings quite a bit but the files always come out huge. I have seen other people's QT movies with great image quality for small file size. I have no idea how they do it.
My best experience in iMovie is to use the CD-ROM setting for export. This gives it the window size that I want, with a small file size, while maintaining pretty good image quality.
I'm talking about custom settings here. I need something other than the pre-made settings. There are so many custom options, but they're all way over my head. My goal is to use something other than h264, but keep the CD-ROM quality and size.
Does anyone have any good custom settings they recommend for getting a good balance of dimensions, image quality, and file size?
If so, post your tips! Let us know your favorite export settings!
--Timothy

The export settings are determined by the way the file is to be viewed.
"Local" files (those on CD's or fast networks) can be much larger in file size because bandwidth isn't much of an issue. Sent to iDVD and they make great videos that can only play in DVD players or software.
"Web" based files are a new can of worms because each persons opinion of "good" and also "small" file size differ so much.
Best advice anyone can give you is for you to make your own sample export "tests":
Take a minute sample (a part that has high action and motion) and choose the "Expert Settings" to send the file to QuickTime.
Try various video codecs and adjust the data and frame rate to raise or reduce file size.
Try AAC audio (very popular audio format) but set the frequency to "half" of CD quality (22050 Hz). This will be half as large in file size.
If your camera didn't record in stereo (most don't) set the file to mono and you reduce the file size in half again.
Compression is nearly an art form and the options in the expert settings can be a bit confusing.

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
video clip on my website, and if I need to explore the YouTube preset in
Premiere, let me know. Thank you, I really appreciate your answers and
help!!

Best Compression Settings for Reduced File Sizes

I've been compressing MP4s and trying to improve the video file size but I'm surprised that Adobe Media Encoder is creating larger file sizes despite reducing the dimensions and audio quality. I've tried MP4 and FLV export settings. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Can you save Export Settings?

Title says it all. I can't believe you wouldn't be able to, but I can't seem to find a way. Once I get that perfect setup, I don't want to lose it.
Thanks!
sjlocke

Nope. Only the "Most Recent" settings (those used last) are available. Once you switch to a different export option those become the most recent (removing the older settings).
On a Mac we use AppleScript to create export settings and can just drag and drop a .mov file onto the Droplet to export.
We also have a new app named Automator that can create workflows.
QuickTime for Windows is scriptable.

Exporting Settings (Premiere Pro CS4 with Matrox)

Premiere Pro CS4
Canon XHG1 camera (HDV/Mini DV/NTSC)
Matrox RT.X2
HP Z800 with 2.4GHz Intel Xeon processor, 12GB RAM, and running Windows 7
I have experience with digital video editing in Premiere, exporting up to 40-minute videos (that took maybe 2 hours to export), but the last version I used was maybe Premiere 7 and I didn’t have the Matrox card (and was using a computer much less capable than this one). I was also just using a consumer-level camera, not the big Canon. Now I’m trying to export video and there are way more choices than I had before, and it seems like the estimated time to export is quite high, despite having a good machine and the Matrox card.
So my question is, is there a chart anywhere that says what settings to use for the particular output you are looking for? For instance, what should I pick for the web that is good enough quality but not a giant file? What should I pick if I want to make a DVD? Is there a way to directly export to a DVD if you aren’t manipulating the video at all? I’ve been told I should be able to utilize the Matrox card to reduce the export time, but it seems like it takes at least 5 times the length of the video to export no matter what.
I guess an important question here is, what is the normal amount of time I should expect something to take to export? I have a 2-hour video that just needs to be transferred from the mini DV tapes and burned to a DVD – no effects necessary. The lowest export time estimate I can get is around 10 hours, and I have no idea what that will look like in terms of quality when done.
In the future I will be doing mostly short (2 minutes or less) videos for web, so export time should be short, but I’d still like to know what the best settings are and how long it should take.
I hope this makes sense – thanks for your help!

Thanks for your help. I have copied and pasted my results below. It seemed to get through that queue very quickly, so perhaps the slowness is do to something more specific in the project I am working on. Perhaps a large mismatch in what I am capturing vs. what I am exporting? The camera is recording in HD.... I don't know much about hardware at all, and only know very basic stuff about exporting, so I know it is probably difficult to understand what I'm looking for. The last version of Premiere I had basically allowed you to choose format, size, quality, and codec whereas this version has so many different export settings I can pick from, it is hard to just guess and check which ones work best.

Export Settings for HD footage

Hello,
Please excuse my lack of knowledge........
Basically I have finished my project, which was shot on a Panasonic AGHMC41E and edited on FCP Studio, clips were format DVCProHD.
I am looking to find out the best quality Export Settings so I dont loose pic quality or encounter pixelation.
So the footage is HD but I only want it for SD DVD
I am looking for the QT Movie Setting Options for:
Compression type:
Motion:
Date Rate: ie restrict too etc..
Additional advice is welcome....

If your audio has an issue which remains consistent throughout the track, then just deal with it in the timeline using FCP Audio filters. However, for intermittent audio harshness, you will want to export your audio into Soundtrack Pro.
Go through the audio looking at the Spectrum View, narrowing the frequency spectrum a bit so you can see what you're doing, like 80 - 10K. The "harsh sounding" audio will show a bright color. In my setup, that color is yellow. Draw rectangular boxes around the yellow audio "clouds" and reduce the Amplitude by a percentage, but not too much!
The audio should sound better after the offending frequencies have been reduced to an appropriate level. Just don't make your rectangles too tall because tallness means a wider swath of the frequency spectrum will be affected and it can begin to sound noticeably weird, so be careful. The affect should sound smooth when you play it back.
I hope that helps.

The best export settings for 6x4 & 5x7 prints...

Hi guys,
I am using iphoto '08 and was hoping that someone can assist me with what export settings to use for 6x4 and 5x7 prints. I have 800 odd pics that I want to upload to an online printing company who happen to have a special on at the moment. If I export all the pics at full resolution i get over 1GB of data that I can't upload to the site. So my question is what setting should I use to reduce the file size so that I get a decent print and file size.
Most of the pics are currently JPEG and 3456 × 2304 in size giving a file size of 3.1-3.3MB. When exporting should I leave the JPEG Quality at maximum and change the file size?
Thanks,
Adrian

What quality print do you want?
THe more pixels the better - in theory
most people want a minimum of 300 dpi so you need to multiple the print size in inches by 300 to get the DPI - 4x6 == 1200x1800 - and crop to 4x6 first so the photo processor does not crop for you
5x7 == 1500x2100 (and again you are better off to do the 5x7 crop)
150 DPI is generally a very acceptable print - so for 150 DPI cut the above number in 1/2
And use maximum quality JPEG for the best quality - a lower quality for a smaller size

Quicktime Export Settings for Keynote Import? Keynote freaks out 16:9 clips

I have 1440 x 1080i HDV footage imported into the latest FCP that is getting exported into Keynote. I notice that most of the exports and imports into Keynote end up doing weird stuff, like reducing the resolution, or turning it into a 4;3 format even though it is 16:9 on the export.
I don't care about the file size with Keynote, so I don't want to compress it any further than how HDV ruins footage to begin with.
So far the only thing that has worked is exporting it as a ProRes file.
Do any of you have recommendations on individual clip FCP export settings/workflows?
Thanks!

Yes, the Keynote presentation slides/project is set for 1920x1080, the reason is I'm outputting via a high lumens projector that natively projects at 1920x1080p.
Even though a Macbook Pro does not have a screen that size, the Macbook can send out even larger than 1920x1080, but I am limiting the output to the native screen res of the projector.

Better FLV export settings?

Hi - hope someone can help me with this dilemna I'm in.
I'm working on a video production that will involve a hearing person presenting training, a person next to him presenting it in sign language, and sub-titles.
I want to export the files as F4V files because they seem to be really clear, especially at full screen [1280x720]. The problem is when I export to F4V and then use Flash's default plain-vanilla player controller, none of the controllers have full-screen capability.
So I've reverted to this convoluted work-around where I export the video as FLV, and then I'm able to fool the Camtasia export settings, which has a full-screen player built-in, to "accept" this FLV file I exported from Adobe Media Encoder.
The end result is the Camtasia player with full-screen plays back my FLV file and also allows viewer to view it in full-screen. I would love to use F4V but I'm just not smart enough to figure out how to make one of the player controllers built into Flash have the fll-screen capability, so I have to revert to this work-around.
However, the FLV video is not very good, so is there a way for me to boost the FLV export in Encoder so it looks much better? Here are the FLV current export settings. Also, here is 10-sec test clip.
http://designerandpublisher.com/test/test-sequence.html

I don't think you will be able to get an FLV looking as good as the H.264 based F4V.
Better to switch the player to one that gives you the options you need.
