Need help exporting to Quicktime for web

[Jon Barrie]

Hi, I’m using CS4 and trying to export HD 1440 x 1080 to qicktime for the web. The site requires that 1min of video should not exceed approx 10MB and a screen size of at least 320 x 240. The footage is 28min long- I have tried the following and outcome was not great. Any help would be great.

Output:450 x 300
VideoCodec: h.264
Frame Rate:24
Field Type: Progressive
Aspect:DV NTSC Widescreen 16:9
Bitrate (kbps)154.
Audio codec:mace 6:1
48000Hz
Stereo

I think the Bitrate: 154kpbs is not written correctly.

Try These settings;
Output: 480×270
Aspect: Square
Video Codec: H.264
Video Bitrate: Use the estimated size at the bottom of the Settings screen in AME it’s pretty close. I am guessing 1.5Mbps upto 1.8Mbps.
Frame Rate: (MATCH YOUR EDITED SEQ FPS)
Audeio Codec: AAC 128 44.1 Stereo

Try to render out just 1min Use the Work Area Bar, set Out to the 1min mark in the timeline with (Alt+]).

Thank you for your response JB!I tried the setting you recommended and I was unsuccessfull. I tried to adjust the size to 480×270 and it would only let me do 480×320.I’m also not sure on the video bitrate. My goal is to output a 28min video to quicktime file for web and keep it the size under 280mb.

I made a AME CS4 preset for you. I have tested it and it works.

After downloading the file from here: 518_10mbsec16x929.97fps48kstereoaac128.epr.zip

Open AME and Go to the H.264 Preset Group, then click on the load preset button on the right of the presets.

Find the downloaded file and it will be part of your listing.

It is set for NTSC, just change the frame rate if you need it to match something other than 29.97fps.

Let us know if it solves your situation it might help someone else 😉
