Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 Question

I live in the U.S. and my goal is to have the very best quality videos for YouTube & Vimeo.

I shoot Full HD 1920 x 1080 at 24p widescreen using a Canon T2i DSLR camera and my computer's O.S. is Windows 7.

What I'm a bit confused about is what preset I should use when I'm creating a New Sequence?

Can anyone please help me with this?

Thanks in advance.

My camera does shoot H.264 in the .mov wrapper.

I Guess I need to use the Adobe Media Encoder, what format would you suggest I convert to?

I completely agree with Ann on using NeoScene. I bought it and it is absolutely great.

However, if you just want to edit as-is, you can choose a setting that gets as close it can be, and then go into the sequence settings and adjust accordingly. AVC-I 100 1080p24 should work nicely as it has everything you want, including a 1.0 square pixel ratio.

I've personally never had a hard time editing the footage without NeoScene, but then again I also use a Canon 5DMKII, and I have an 8-core AMD with 16GB of RAM...
