Craig,
Thanks for the reply.
I do not usually resize it. It is exported using one of the standard (Sorensen 3) codecs in Premiere Pro.
I imagine exporting it in YouTube’s preferred size and compression would be ideal but I don’t know what is the preferred format.

Daniel; That is why I asked the question.
I’ve heard that YouTube does not re-transcode specific formats which, theoretically, would be available immediately after upload.
If you are familiar with this formatting, please reply with your experience.
Thanks.

Have you any experience with the Manfrotto I posted above? It seems like a good price, compared to others in the $200-$300+ range.

Regarding your last question; I’d say put a clause in your contract that says your remaining 50% is paid in installments, on specific dates, whether they push the deadline back or not. That way the client is under pressure to maintain the deadline. At some point, you’re 100% paid, but the client doesn’t have the final product. You could also add verbiage that says you receive additional service fees beyond a certain date. Nothing makes the client pay more attention than going over budget. Now, actually collecting that money is a different story!
Good luck.

Hopefully you paid by credit card, right? I’d advise writing a formal complaint to your CC company and copy the BBB. Your CC company will likely go to bat for you and reverse the charges if you can document deceptive sales tactics. Print out any online material which offer a specific cost, or anything you can show that suggests a certain promise. Let them battle it out. I’ve had a number of bad experiences like yours and the CC company always wins. As a matter of fact, one company I reported to my CC was investigated by the Department of Justice.
Good luck.

I’ll second Mike’s statement. I usually need to decrease audio in the timeline. Play your timeline with the audio meter palate open. If it’s peaking above -6, or ‘redlining’ as I call it, you’re going to have problems with the finished DVD. Try to adjust your audio level so it averages between -12 and -6 on the meters, peaking not much more than -6. I find that DVD authoring software such as Encore DVD seems to boost the audio a little. What is fine in the PPro timeline is often much louder on the final DVD.
Good luck…

You could probably pass the cost of any reproduction rights to your client. If you get the photographer’s consent, make sure it is in writing.

Are you sure it is rendered? I notice the movement you describe after applying a title to a clip and scrubbing or playing the timeline. However, after it is rendered the movement disapppears.

It appears you and TClark were correct; Moving it to an even number produces a clearer image. It never occured to me that this would be an issue. I just assumed Premiere would render it correctly, regardless of the position. Perhaps it wouldn’t be an issue if the format was 30p instead of 60i?
Thanks for the help.
