Import/Export Settings for Canon T4i Video

Hey folks,
I'm new to Premiere and loving it, but I'm wondering what the best sequence settings, as well as export settings, will be for video captured from my Canon Rebel T4i camera.
I prefer to shoot either in 1080p with 24 fps, or 720p at 60 fps––what settings within premiere should I use when setting up my project, and what are some good export options for Youtube/Vimeo?
thanks!

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:

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?

Best export settings for Canon cameras: Key Frame Distance confusion

Good evening! I have the Canon SX230 camera (for easy understanding, you could consider it as 5D Mark) and Premiere Pro CS5.5, and what I need is to export my project with the best similar to the source quality, as lossless as it possible (but not like absolute lossless oversized AVI's...) To my happiness, there are not so many export settings, but I am very puzzled with "Set Key Frame Distance" point. Okay, basically I understand what GOP is, what I don't understand is what value I should choose for the best result, if my сamera does videos with M=1/N=12? I'm choosing "1" Key Frame Distance, like all frames are I-frames, saving the original sequence, because you don't want to convert original I-frames to P-frames, so it's better to make them I-/P-/B-frames all like I-frames? Am I right at this point, is that wise, and will it be the best reasonable option, matching original M=1/N=12? Or is it not worth it? And will it fundamentally affect the file size? I really need your help on this, worked on this project for three months and really don't want to screw up all:) Thank you very much!
sample of my sourse files:
and this is my export settings, which I think is the best of the best, but please correct me if I'm wrong:

Oh dear Ann, unfortunately it is not possible.
For some unbelievable reason it is okay to mux H.264 with Dolby, but forbidden to mux H.264 with PCM. That has absolutley no sense. Anyway, that's not a problem, mkvtoolnix does a perfect job. Really need PCM stereo audio for that project. And H.264 is the best codec for Full HD project out there, MPEG is too old...

Export settings for HD-quality video

I'm using Quicktime Pro 7.6.4
I'm trying to create a short time-lapse video from stills from a DSLR.
What should my export settings be to create a video at HD quality?
Being a still photographer I had originally assumed that the image size was the main factor but I see the "date rate" had a lot to do with it.

Image size does matter as QuickTime can make "movies" from your image sequence files that would be too large to fit your display.
You can then scale down the "video" dimensions in the Movie properties window to fit your HD dimension of your choice.
Depending on how many images files you're bringing in with the image sequence import would also determine the "original" frame rate. Lots of large files may need at least a one frame per second during the import. You can then adjust this video "time" by adding it "scaled" to an audio file and then extracting the new video track.
300 large image files at one frame per second would be added (scaled) to ten seconds of audio to give a 30 fps rate. You may not need such a fast rate and adding it to a longer audio file may work better.
I would use the H.264 video codec. The data rate would require some experimentation. I would start at 2500 and move up in 500 increments until you find out what works best (file size versus image quality).
All of these settings also depend on your final delivery media (Web, Computer or local files).

*** Sequence settings for Canon 5DmkII video

I'm trying to edit video footage from the new Canon 5D mkII and I don't know the sequence settings. The playback is really stuttery and jittery so I'm wondering if there's a plug-in or something that I need. Does anyone know?
Thanks in advance!

That shoots h.264 I believe, which is a delivery codec, not an editing codec.
Convert it to an easy set up for FCP, ie pro res, DVCProHD or something in the easy set ups using QT Pro

Best export settings for hd SLR video.

Hi
I edit video from canon eos 5d 1080p /29.97 and want to get the BEST quality in exported files. (To be seen witha a WD media player and a full hd high quality video projector) .
Premiere CS5 ver 5.03 cuda enabled GEForce 470 The original clips are .mov at about 45 mbps h264.
When I open media encoder I have a lot of possibilities.
If I choose "match sequence settings" I get an mpeg file 31 mbps with I frames appearing after two P frames. (Gop=3)
I can also export as mp4 with higher framerates (45 mbps) and so on,
I do not know wich is the best choice .
Any suggestions or experiences welcome
Tahnks

Don't use "Match Sequence Settings." It is rarely useful.
(To be seen witha a WD media player and a full hd high quality video projector) .
<snip>
I do not know wich is the best choice .
The best choice will be dictated by what the media player can ingest and use. I would assume an H.264 MP4 will suffice, but you'll have to look into the supported formats, codecs, bitrates, and other parameters that the device allows.

Best export settings for 51 min video for itune styles sites?

Hey There I have a new bmx DVD about to come out and i want to try and sell it on PayLoadz.com,Itunes but they have a 2gig limit. The project settings are 1920 by 1080 30p and im using premiere pro cs 6. I hope someone can help thanks...

There is no way to get a decent 1920X1080 video into 2G when the duration is 51 minutes.
The bitrate would have to be so low that the image quality would suffer terribly.
Do the math. If you put it out there at a reasonable 25Mb/s you would need a file size of almost 10G.
Divide that by 5 to get 2G and your 25Mb/s becomes 5Mb/s. I suppose you could try that. If it was free you might get away with it. But if you want to sell it, people are going to expect a better image. I know I would.
But there you have it. Use H.264 as Kevin suggests, and set it for 5Mb/s. Export it and see what you think.

Export settings for best possible video quality

I am using FCE and am putting together a DVD from a Canon HV20. I shot the tapes using the HDV option in the camera setup (1080i)
What do you recommend as the best method for exporting from FCE in order for me to see the highest quality picture? I tried using Export as Quicktime, and it looks "ok", but it's not the image quality I'd expect from HD, nor is it as good as viewing direct from the camera to my projector.
I don't mind waiting hours for rendering, so don't let that hamper your recommendations.
Thanks in advance.

Export to QuickTime Movie. Play this back on your TV. It should look comparable to your camera output. As far as DVD creation goes I'd suggest doing a forum search. You are compression the material heavily yo get it from HD to SD.

Export Settings for sending a video to an email (NOT To Facebook etc.)

What settings should I use to send a short (4 minutes) video across the internet as an attachment.? I don't want to upload to a public site. I am sending to an email address. I have tried exporting to windows media, but the video has the jagged line problem and looks like crap. The source video is 1920 x 1080 29.97 fps. I am running PE 9. Thanks.

Vimeo, Facebook and Muvipix.com all allow you to post a video that can only be seen by invited guests.
And don't forget Photoshop.com -- the online storage site Adobe gives you free with these programs! As I say in my books, there are many great features on Photoshop.com, and it's well worth learning more about.

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 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!

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.

Which project settings for project for Canon Powershot Video Editing?

Which project settings for project for Canon Powershot Video Editing?
I want to edit video taken with a Canon Powershot SD 550 taken in NTSC 640 x 480. When I start a new project, which project settings should I be using? Also when exporting the project to view on a computer should I stick with the AVI or will MPEG or another universal format give me better end quality?

Hunt,
This user has two thread topics here that are identical to ones at the forum which I frequent. Early on I downloaded video from the Canon Powershot that he says he is using for the basis of my comments. So, I have put that video through gspot myself. Since the user is going between the two forums (mostly here), I did not want anything lost in the back and forth. The goal is to help attainment of the goal. That is why I am including comments at both locations:

http://www.elementsvillage.com/forums/showthread.php?t=52298
The user has gotten back to me on the video rotation issue, thanking me, but telling me that another workflow was identified...and, as I note, generously shared with both sites. I am in the process of personally checking out what he said worked for him in that regard. However, the user has not gotten back to me on the topic of project settings.
So to expedite matters, when you get a chance, could you please check out my comments in that thread? I would be interested in your perspective on the matter and what I wrote.
