Newbie advice please
Hello forum
thanks for all the great advice so far I have read.As a church we have purchased a Sony HVR-HD1000P Digital High Definition HDV Camcorder and are videoing our services for upload to the web.
I load the video into the computer no probs and edit with premiere pro.
The main question is what is the best format to export the movie for upload to the web in Adobe media encoder. Each video is about 40mins long, and I need the image to be about 500 pixels wide. I am using the H264 youtube preset as this is about 256 mb.
However looking at it in google video, it appears pixelated. Any ideas would be gratefully received
thanks
Andy

A 40 minute video has got to be gigantic!
That’s one of the reasons YouTube limits files to 10 minutes and 1 GB.I don’t know what the restrictions are for Google video, but in general, the smaller the file, the lower the quality. If you cram 40 minutes of video into a 256 mb file, you have definitely downgraded the quality.
Since you’re a newbie, I’d advise, looking at the Lynda.com videos about Premiere. They show you lots of options on exporting videos.
Try – mov. – h.264 – 15 fps.- High Quality.
You can also export to avi and then use QT Pro to export to .264.
It usually does a great job for me. -
\yes I know 40 mins is a big file – but google allow unlimited file sizes which really helps me with this project. Any other formats ??
