Problem with exporting to quicktime

[Blast1]

[Ryan Santos] “What could be the problem?”

Before someone can give you any insight you should, describe your project’s settings and what settings you are trying to export otherwise you will get WAGs.

Blast, what is a WAG? Shorthand for Widely Alternating Gossip?

ROFL! BTW Harm, without an emotion in your question to Blast, one must assume you are serious.
Just a Wild A** Guess {-;

Thanks Mike,

Indeed I seriously did not know, hence my question.
I keep learning every day here, if not video related, than at least language related.

It’s actually a video I shot with a consumer camera (miniDV) at 720 x 480 and I wish to have it in quicktime at 600 x 432 (or a bit smaller). I don’t know what settings I should use but the output should look and sound good when published to the web… and of course something that’s light enough for easy downloads.

The only decent QT export option from Premiere 2 is H 264 (mpeg4) and that requires the audience have QT player 7.x. There is no preset for this, so open the default QT Format/preset in the Media Encoder. On the lower left side are some tabs, start with Video. Change the Video Codec to H.264, change your Frame height and Width. scroll down and change the Bitrate to 600 kbps.
On the Audio tab, leave the default QDesign Music 2, but click the Options button and change the bitrate to 48 kbp/s.

I prefer to use QT Pro to do this encoding…many more options and better quality. Although I use Windows Media Video most of the time.
