Export to the web advice
Hey guys,
I’m just learning about exporting for the web and needed advice. I have Pro 2 and am using the media encoder to do it. I’m rendering in wmv 9 386k for the web and I hate the quality. I’m doing quality at 100% but cant read fonts. I know that there are certain fonts that really arent web using fonts, but these are scaled down videos that are for DVD and broadcast and the fonts are picked by the client. they just have bad resolution and I cant find the write ingredients to get it done.
You can view my videos on http://www.nolahopeandheritage.org under the video section.
Thanks,
Todd

1. What is the frame rate of the WMV files?
2. Can you post your output settings?Aanarav Sareen

actually, I’ve been exporting at 29.97 instead of 30. I’m so used to exporting to 30 fps standard NTSC. I’m guessing thats the problem. What I usually do is let Premiere do the encoding. Here are my settings:
Encoding passes: Two
320 x 240
frame rate 29.97
pixel Apspect Ratio: square Pixels (1.0)
Decoder Complexity: Auto
Keyframe interval: 5
Buffer size: Default
Average Bitrate: 361

I encode all my 4:3 stuff (for web delivery/client approval) at 512z384 – and crank the bitrate up to 600-1000kbit…makes nice video clips that are 4-7 MB/minute (which is perfectly fine for broadband delivery). Small text is much easier to read with the slight size increase. It has nothing to do with frame-rate (although de-interlacing will have an affect on very small/thin text).

Do you have de-interlace on?

I’ve gotten it to look better, it looks clearer but it seems to be skipping frames when I play it back. I know that when I play it back say compressed as a .mov with a Sorenson 3 codec it plays nice and smooth. Just when I use Adobe Media Encoder it skips bad. The first version, which isnt the new render is on the http://www.nolahopeandheritage.org site in teh video section. It’s “My Mothers house is the River”. I did all the others and they dont skip like this one. Here are my new
Settings:
Video Codec: Windows Media Video 9
Basic Video Settings: checked: Allow interlaced Processing
Encoded Passes: Two
Bitrate Mode: Constant
Frame: 512×384
Frame Rate: 30fps
Pixel aspect ratio: Square Pix(1.0)Bitrate Settings: Max Bit: 600
Image Quality: 100Advanced Settings: Decoder Complexity: Auto
Keyframe intervals: 5
Buffer Size: DefaultThis is the new one that isnt on the web site. It looks good except the skipping. Cnat figure that out
Thanks guys

Figured out the skipping, for some reason, dont know why, but my original piece had a frame rate of 29.96….instead of 97. I reinterpreted all of my files to 29.97 and my main piece at 29.97 and its smooth.

All I can tell you is this, when I leave the deinterlace box unchecked, my WMV files look like garbage. They are soft and poor in quality. When I check the deinterlace box (on the top right hand corner) I get excellent WMV clips. In fact Windows Media video’s look as good as the ones I get using Canopus Procoder.
When it comes to Quicktime, I’ve had problems with PP2 such as super slow encoding times and crashing. So, I don’t do Quicktime with it and leave that up to Procoder.
