Alright so since you guys are giving a lot of value in this tread with a good few years of distance from eachother i thought id come by and drop my 2 cents here.

Im using premiere CC and I noticed that the estimated vide file size what you see in the “make movie” window is really just an educated guess from premiers part regarding the size of the video. After tweaking the settings a tad bit I managed to get half the estimated size off of an actual render.

So that being said my guess is that every or at least most settings count in the make movie window regarding the size and quality of the file. Also I believe that a Premiere Render Nirvana exists where you CAN get awesome quality and video file size but it never will be just so good as the youtube counterpart. Premiere must use a different rendering technology or rather YT uses a more advanced next gen render technology which completely blows by the competition (im just guessing).

Also I think that youtube spent probably millions(if not tens of millions) of dollars on perfecting the encoding technology which Adobe could not afford to do when making the sofware thats why we get much better size/qualty ratios in YT.
