Exporting to Web

[Aanarav Sareen]

It all depends on your video duration, the bitrate, the format and a bunch of other things. Can you provide us with a little more detail on the following topics?

1. Video duration = ?
2. Video format = ? (WMV, QT, RM, MPEG)
3. Approximate size of final video (in MB)

I often have to export for web download. For my employer, filesize is of great importance and i am restricted to WMV format.

Using the Adobe Media Encoder, the option “Windows Media Video 8 for Broadband (PAL, 384 kbps)” gives me the best video quality / filesize ratio (it’s Europe here, so i use PAL).

It also only has to render once to export, while the WM8 or WM9 options all render TWICE, making them very timeconsuming.

I get a 20Mb file for an 8 minute movie.

If anybody knows an even better solution i’m all ears by the way!

The second render is because you have chosen a 2 pass vbr template. It does produce better quality if you have fast and slow sections. To get a single pass render with choose a CBR option ( there are several wm8 and wm9 CBR options on my NTSC system )
