Please Double Check my Procedures
Hello, I have a simple request.
I’m fairly new to this scene and have couple questions.
First of all, I have the Canon HF10 Camcorder.
With that said the format is AVCHD(.mts)
I mostly shoot in the “PF30” mode and “60i” mode for slow motion footages.
I do it all on AVCHD 60i Preset Timeline in Adobe Premiere CS4.
When I am done editing, I export in “Lagarith Losless Codec”.
The files that come out of there are pretty damn huge, therefore I use “Xilisoft Video Converter” to “somehow” convert that footage to lets say HD WMV/HD 264(.avi), and a 3min video which comes out of Premiere at around 4gb gets converted by the “Xilisoft Converter” to about 230MB.(that is the highest quality setting).I find this way fairly quick and easy.but.
The question is, is this “okay” thing to do for exporting footages? is there a better way to do things under my circumstances ? Any recommendations on Export/Timeline settings and maybe compressing right in Premiere ?
Obviously I am looking at Time vs. Quality vs. Size factors.All Help is greatly Appreciated.

Why?
The Adobe Media Encoder can convert your sequence to .wmv or H264 without the extra Lagarith step. -
mhmh i’ve tried many codecs and compressions while exporting but for some reason i cannot achieve the same quality.
Possibly, my export settings are jacked up.
would You recommend the best size/quality export setting and codec ?
Thx a lot -

For what purpose???
Try your existing settings that you used in Xilisoft Video Converter. -
I have the same problem, but also when i export the video it looks all choppy and pixelated ):
