Exporting movie in Premiere 6.0


Question

It's me again...

I have edited my movie in premiere and now I want to export it.. What are the best settings?

1. For the net

2. If I want to burn the movie on a cd

My movie is about 9seconds and I tried exporting it as quicktime and it took an hour, plus afterwards the movie looked like crap. I know I'm doing something wrong.

Is there someone that could help me out with this???

Thanks in advance

Well, for CD your best bet is DivX AVI. Download the codec from www.divx.com

For the net it depends. Who are you targeting? If its only nine seconds a QT movie should only take 20 secs to encode, unless ya on a 486 ;)

9 secs of high quality DivX will only take up about 500K so you may as well go with that. If you have a streaming server then a multi-rate Real or Windows Media stream is also good.

The 8:40min movie is consists of 3 different movies totalling 2gigs. Once I export (File-Export-File) I choose the microsoft dvavi option, and then i export. This seemed to be the fastest so far. The file came to 1.79gigs after removing some stuff.

I also have some transition in the timeline, would that be the cause for the long exporting???

Afterwards I run it through Cleaner 5.1 to compress it.

Is this the right way of exporting it or am I doing something wrong???

Right, makes more sense, you put 9seconds :)

Don't touch the Microsoft stuff, its all crap. For the CD, as I said DivX is the best.

Cleaner EZ (the one bundled with Premiere 6) isn't that great. Your better off using QuickTime Pro Player to export a Sorenson QT file.

Cleaner makes some weird quality choices for you in this version and usually makes the video very blocky.

If you want this file to stream to users, or at least psuedo-stream, use RealMedia Advanced Exporter or Windows Media Advanced Exporter which is in Premiere.

The settings you may want to consider:

CD - DivX AVI at 3/4000Kbps . Its only a short video so get the best quality you can.

QT - Sorenson 3 compression, 352-288 windows size

RealMedia - If you dont have a streaming server you can only do single rate streams and pseudo-stream them. Go for the 512k Cable/DSL option and in preferences set it to 2 pass encoding. Same windows size as QT.

Windows Media - Not as good quality as Real, but you can set the stream rate to 1.5Mbs without any 'tinkering', its a default option. Window size will be 640x480.

Do smaller versions using the 56k modem options of each encoder if you want modem users to access it to.

To add... encoding takes a while. Unless you use dedicated harware which can do an hour in say 6 mins which I use at work, even a P4 2Ghz will take a little while.

oh god this is gonna suck.. In about a month or two I will basically have to capture about 6hrs of video a week... It's gonna suck encoding it....

As to that cleaner, I downloaded the demo version, which expires after 50 uses... I tried the one built into Premiere and man did it suck...

Thanks a lot Septimus. A friend of mine knows Premiere a bit so I'm gonna go over to his place tonight and ask him some stuff.. If I'll still have more problems I'll let you know...

Thanks
