Looking for a Place to Start
Good afternoon –
Please excuse my ignorance, but I am just really beginning on my journey into the world of video producing & editing… and am looking for a good starting point to move from …I have a Panasonic DVX100B camera, am recording to tape then capturing into Premiere Pro 2.0 in a DV-NTSC Standard 48kHzNSTC file…
my final out put needs to include After Effects graphics [I still need to find a motion graphic artist for hire] & then be able to output it for web compression…
does anyone have ground rules for exporting to after effects from premiere & premiere to the web??? Is there a general standard for file type that web videos should be run in? .mov, .avi, etc.
if this is covered some where else in this form please feel free to point me in that direction as well…
ignorant- looking for help!
thanks! -

Great question(s)!
You said:”does anyone have ground rules for exporting to after effects from premiere & premiere to the web??? Is there a general standard for file type that web videos should be run in? .mov, .avi, etc. ”
Since your original footage is DV AVI, just import that captured file directly into After Effects. There is no need to output it from Premiere into another format…most will add a lossy compression method. Just digitize in premiere, and then import that file directly to AE.
For the web, you have 3 options:(generally)
1. .WMV-windows media video.
2. .MOV-quicktime
3. .FLV-Flash VideoFor any of them you need to consider: (1) What resolution (common sizes are 640×480 or 320×240) (2) Frame rate (should remain an even multiple of the original (29.97, 15,10) (3) Does your intended audience have broadband or dialup (this will dictate the bitrate…I recommend experimenting with 256, 512, or 768 initially) (4) audio quality…dont go too high here, keep it at or under 128kbps (5) Is it going to be re-compressed again (such as youtube, etc) then send them as high quality as possible (least compressed)
Always deinterlace for internet video to minimize interlaced artifacting.
Hope this helps a bit.
