Premiere Pro tutorial on export settings
Does there exists a good tutorial video in here covering export settings for use of short videos on small websites (not talking about embedded YouTube or Vimeo). I looked through and enjoyed a lot of Andrew Devis’ tutorials but did not find anything on exporting. Several other on-line tutorials go into high quality stuff or just refer to YouTube presets.
Background
For our projects I am making several short (1-3 min)videos. They are for using on websites and mobile phones.These videos will NOT be on Vimeo or YouTube but on our own site and on a special hosted site for this project. I am experimenting with all kind of settings and have to export each sequence in several formats to cover all different browser platforms (mp4, flv, ogv, 3gp, webm).
Took a lot of time trying to figure things out and still have not got it right, that is acceptable file size with acceptable quality. A three minute shot exported in H624 at the custom YouTube 360p 25fps pre-set still results in a 55 mb file. Trying to copy the settings of the Creative Cow tutorial videos (flv format) gives me a 27 mb file for 3 minutes against the 15 mb for a 10 minutes tutorial.
Any practical advice is welcome as well
Thanks

If you are encoding files to be hosted on a client’s website (or your own), each host will have specifics on files types and sizes. You should contact your client’s host to get the requirements before you waste a lot of time and effort.
As far as the basics go, PrPro (Media Encoder) has loads of great presets that will get you started in the right ballpark, then it is just tweaking to obtain the best encode.
This book is also a great resource https://www.peachpit.com/store/editors-guide-to-adobe-premiere-pro-9780321840066

Dear Kris,
Thanks for the reply. The host is not the problem, they can handle the different formats and file sizes and some of the videos are already running there. If too big or too many video’s for my allocated bandwidth and space, I can shift to a bigger hosting package, but it will cost me.
Example I work on now: 3 min video, from a source clip with 720×576 (pixel ratio 1,0940) 25fps, 48 khz stereo.
If I use the presets like youtube SD, I still get large files around 50 mb. I tweaked those settings to copy the source clip, and exported with below 1 mbps(lousy result). Than tweaked several other things, each time exporting and comparing. Sometimes a 5 mb file gives better results than a 20 mb file, but why?
Off course from those earlier accidental good results I forgot to write down the exact settings, especially bit rates. This way, I am spending a lot of time figuring out what to change and what effect that has and still getting nowhere and missing a lot of basic knowledge. So inventing the wheel again.
The nice thing of those line of CC tutorials is that they explain why and what to do when. Or what NOT to do. Or whatever. I was hoping one would exists also concerning exporting but no luck so far.
