So im trying to export a video. Im going to export it in quicktime format, but what should the frame size be and what should the Pixel Aspect Ratio be?

Overall, I want the highest quality video at the lowest file size. I want to be able to upload to brightcove at the highest quality, and watch it on a dvd on a full size TV; to do this, must I export using 2 totally different settings?

here is a pic of what the settings look like:

Frame size can be anything, chances are the video is 720x480 when it's captured, so that's your max. I find that 640x480 is 'big' and use that for high quality stuff. Export it for 'Adobe Flash', the quality you can play with, I forget what I use, I think 2000 KBS, and that looks pretty good. You could probably use 4000 if you really want.

Aspect ratio = width/height = 4/3 meaning for every 4 pixels in width, you have 3 pixels in height. If you wanna play with the frame sizes, i do this: choose the width then multiply it by 3/4... that is your height.

Google is quite helpful for this...

Hope that helps.
 
For brightcove.

For DVD, what is File - Export - Movie, and just use the standard no compression output. Then I let whaever DVD program i am using encode it however it needs to. DVD video COULD be uploaded I guess, but it'll be easier adn probably better quality if you use flash. I don't think brightcove reencodes if you upload it in flash.
 
thanks, that makes things much clearer.

But I still don't understand what setting I have to choose under the pixel aspect ratio. There are certain things like pal and ntsc and a bunch of other things. What should i do? Thanks again.
 
it worked and everything, but the video comes out and it seems like there are lines and everything is like semi-squareish. It may have something to do w/ interlacing or something (I'm a novice here lol), but I don't know. How do I deinterlace it? Thanks. Mad karma for u man.
 
There should be an option to deinterlace. If not, you can just apply it to every clip before you export it.
