1920x1080 best way to compress
by Nora Doll on Jul 4, 2008 at 10:41:24 am

Hello
I have a big Problem I'm trying to compress a video clip, but I'm not able to find the right settings. Can you help me?
Here are the facts.
I did an animation in AE with 1920x1080 progessive and 25fps, 33 sec long with fast changing images and particles. Later it should play on a windows server to show it in a cinema with a beamer.
I would prefer avi,wmv or mpeg. I have AE CS3,Premiere CS3 and Sorenson Squeez 4.5. Later it shouldn't be bigger than 300-600 MB but with the best Quality I can get. Thanks in advance.

Nora

You first need to find out what the Windows server is capable of delivering.

Thanks for your answer, but like I said it shouldn't be more than 600 MB and a maximal a data rate of 80 mbps.

Well you could try a WMV/VC-1 1920x1080 at 25Mbit/s and it'll come out at only 207MBytes for 33 seconds, but you shouldn't need anything like that datarate - 10Mb/s should be a good starting point with keyframes between every 2 to 5 seconds.

Hello
I'm sorry I couldn't write on the week end. We tried it, but we don't have the right codec VC-1. We read also on the microsoft website that we need the encoder or the windows media player 11. We have both but still we can't see it in AE or Premiere. Do you know an other solution or do you know where we can get the codec?

Have a look at these two links which should give you some idea of how to export to Windows Media from Premiere.

Thanks for the links, very interresting, but my main problem was that I didn't know that wmv9 is the vc-1 codec. But still it looks very crappy espacially because I can't select 25 Mbps just 10.000kbps. And with the particles I get a terrible gradient with steps. Mhm is there a solution for this problem? (I used the preset HD 1080 25fps)thanks nora
