how to export project without it becoming huge file
Hi everyone, i have a question i’d be very glad if someone could please answer…
i am a new bee in AE/ Premier pro and made a 10 minute how to vid in premier with a short 6 second AE animated site name ending.
i couldn’t figure out how to export it from permier pro but someone suggested i do it with the media encoder so i opened it and selected a youtube small size setting.
when i tried uploading it youtube said it would take 500 minutes!!
the file size after puting it through the encoder was 560mb.
what am i doing wrong?
I used camtasia studio before and never got such HUGE files.
can i export it from premier pro somehow easier or am i using the encoder wrong somehow?
Thanks a lot in advance for any suggestions or help!Camille

Well…first, Camtasia is capturing computer interface with relatively little movement at a relatively slow frame rate…hence little temporal detail to capture means it can save a very small file.
What file size should a 10 minute video be? If you’re exporting 1920×1080, your 560 MB video is a quarter of the data rate of highly lossy and compressed standard definition DV…I’d call that relatively small.
500 minutes to upload is something that also depends on your connection speed of course…

Hi Tim,
Thanks for your answer!
With Camtasia i wasn’t capturing the screen but editing video from my camera.
I don’t need TV definition, i’m just creating little howto art videos for youtube.
Our internet is 3MB/second and usually it is ok speed.
Is there a way to make the file size smaller than it is without having it become dreadful quality?Thanks again

Are you shooting high definition or standard definition?
Keep in mind that the compression profile labeled as “YouTube” will give the media the best fit for YouTube’s specifications…you can upload a more compressed format, but then YouTube will simply convert it.

Hi Tim,
I’m shooting in standard definition. I’m a total newbee so my questions probably sounds stupid to you. But do i need to compress the file and how would i do that?
Thanks a lot

When you exported the file, you compress it to whatever the preset you picked is set for… YouTube presets are H264 (MPEG4).
What export preset did you select?

Hi Tim,
I just clicked the 480p youtube size and then said encode and that was it. do i first have to encode it and then also export it?
Thanks

No.
Encoding a file makes (exports if you like) a video file in the location of your choice…then you upload that file to YouTube.
…piece of cake.

Hi Tim,
I think it was a problem with the program. I did an update and now i see these options available and it works.
Thanks for your time and help!!Camille
