Re: Export for YouTube

A perennial problem nowadays.

You need to Export using Adobe Media Encoder. Select
the appropriate/latest Windows Media Encoder codec
(probably '9' something) in your version of PPro,
and that you've correctly selected the PAL ot NTSC version.

Ideally, your output dimension sized should be 300-something x....
as opposed to anything bigger.

Selecting 'two pass' will double the length of encoding
time but the quality will be better.

10 minutes should encode at around 50-80megs, as a
.wmv file.

Final tip: if your project/films are 16:9, export
your film(s) once as DVAVI, reimport it into a 4:3 project
and shrink it to 76% to create a 16:9 project inside
a 4:3 window. The reason for this, is that, YouTube
is unable to display 16:9 films in their native
ratio.

There's a lot to take in within the Media Encoder because
it also does MPEG encoding for DVD, Quicktime, HD stuff
etc., so take it slowly.

Good luck,
Darren.
