Try exporting a test at 30 fps and uploading that just to see if it has the same issues at 1080. I’m assuming you don’t see the effect in the file you upload to YouTube right?

Well that is interesting. Only shows up in 1080 for me. Is your original video interlaced?

I would recommend Main profile. H.264 profiles essentially set different encoding parameters and options. Baseline is the simplest, then Main, then High. Some devices, older iphones, ipods, etc, are not able to play High profile.
For audio you would want to choose what you edited in.

Compressor 3 or Compressor 4? You can’t make H.264 MP4’s in Compressor 3.

True, in Premiere, when you drag the clip to the 720 timeline, right click and make sure you select “set to frame size”. If you click “scale to Frame Size”, Premiere will downscale the clip to 720, defeating what you’re trying to do. “Set to Frame Size” will allow you to punch in to regions of the frame.

Craig Seeman is the guru on this one, but an h.264 codec wrapped in .mp4 is a good choice for playback on mac and pc. Typically for a 1080 file a bitrate of 7-10 Mbps is pretty standard, for 720 3-6 Mbps, and for SD 1-3 Mbps. If you just have talking heads you could lower those numbers. For audio, yes AAC.

From a workflow standpoint only, if you considered using FCP 10, you could’ve just dropped the mp4 on your time line and let FCP do the rendering in the background while you were editing away. I make this point not to say FCP 10 is better or worse, but that it could’ve simplified your workflow and saved time in this instance.

Hi Justin, those settings are assumed. I just did a test here with Media Encoder and choosing Format: Quicktime, then codec XDCAM HD422 1080i50 output settings that matched. Make sure you changed your audio settings to uncompressed. When I output an MXF, the audio bitrate was a bit lower, so they must want an .mov.

Thanks Walter, appreciate the info.

It looks like they need a XDCAM HD422 1080i50 file. Which NLE are you editing in. I know FCP 7 had an option to export to XDCAM.
