I am trying to export a 15 min. long movie from premiere pro and upload it onto brightcove. What are the best settings to use? I am very confused because there are so many settings. First of all, what format do I use? Quicktime? DV? Thanks.
 
under export go media encoder or something

and use a h.267 present or whatever its called im blanking right now

and just tweak the setting a bit for what you want

it gives you an estimated file size so just watch that
 
Don't use quicktime becuase it kills the quality and doesn't save much MB. Try different combinations and as well as to be sure to uncheck "project" in the enbedding options before exporting.
 
yea i have the same problem, my file is always huge. and yea i've played with adobe media encoder a bunch. one thing i do (only works if you have windows movie maker) i save it as an mpg i think, then import it into movie maker, then save it as whatever movie makers saves as, this butchers the quality, but also makes it much smaller. but if someone knew which file type exports the smallest, that would probably benefit the thread starter, and myself more than my way of doing things.
 
here's a pretty decent compression i've found. If theres a ton of movement going on in the shot the quality isnt amazing but for most shots its pretty good. Another problem is that sometimes a horizontal line will roll through.

Here ya go:

Export -> Adobe Media Encoder

Video

Format: Windows Media

Video Codec: Windows Media 9 Advanced Profile

Encoding Passes: 2

Bitrate Mode: constant

Frame Width/Height: 720x480

Frame Rate: 29.97

Pixel Aspect Ratio: .9

Maximum Bitrate: you can play with this to adjust the file size. For shorter edits i use 2048, for longer ones i use 1024. Just play with it.

Image Quality: 100

Audio

Audio Codec: Windows Media Audio 9.2

Encoding Passes: 2

Bitrate Mode: variable unconstrained

Audio Format: 96kbps, 44kHz, stereo VBR

Audiences

Output: compressed

hope that helps

 
for the audio format, shouldn't it match the audio speed of the music in the project (which is 48 KHz)? Also, what is the Maximum Bittrate and what does it do?

Other than that, thanks.
 
um, as for the question about audio i dont think it matters because it works fine the way it is. My newer edits are with this compression if you want to see. I'm not really sure what exactly maximum bitrate does but i know it effects file size and i would assume it effects video quality.
