Exporting Quicktime and AVI files
Hello,
I am working with AVCHD Video files (from a sony NXCAM) they are 1920×1080 (1.0, 23.976). The client is asking for Quicktime and AVI files. I want to give them high quality, but low file size. I exported 5 minutes worth of footage at Quicktime (.264 codec) and the file was over 3 GB, which seems a little large to me. They plan to upload the video to YouTube and embed on their website.
Can you suggest any codecs for the Quicktime and AVI formats in Premiere Pro 5.0?
Thanks,
Keo -

Thank you Chris. I appreciate your quick response. I exported using your settings, but the video file becomes grainy/noisy. I tried it at 24p and 23.98 and both times very grainy. The only thing I might of done incorrectly is put the 5,000 kbs in the bitrate settings where it says limit data rate to….I changed it from 1,000 kbps to 5,000. Is that what you meant?
Also, Chris, can you make any suggestions for AVI? Thanks again.

The “grainy” look is from compression and not from frame rates. Compression simplifies the colour sampling used to show the frames = less colours which makes chunks or grainy look. This process makes a smaller file size but the quality is lost. Trying to get a happy medium is the way to go.
6 Mbps or 6,000Kbps (same thing) is about where you will want to be for fullHD bitrates with smaller file size and decent quality using the H.264 codec/format.
