Hey Guy i was wondering if you could help me

i was hoping to post a video on my youtube account so i could advertise this dvd ive been working on

but the scene i edited in premiere is 12:00 Minutes and is 2.4g in size

its to big

how would i go about compressing it so that i can place it on my youtube account


but the part i find myself being puzzled in, is that ive seen video on youtube that are like 20 min long

so how did they get aways with uploading something that large?

can someone please help me
 
Early youtube users could create a "director's account" allowing much longer videos - this isn't the case anymore unfortunately.
You'll need to chop the video down to 10 minutes (or break it into parts) and compress it down a bit - I'm a fan of compressing to flash, but h264 or wmv would do the job :)
 
i figured that wat i was goin to have to do

and chop it down
ugh!

how would i compress it to flash cause that just sounds crazy lol
 
For flash export, I use Adobe's flash video encoder (ships with CS3) or you could use a third party app like Sorenson Squeeze.
:)

Open the Flash Video Encoder.
Add your video.
Click Settings and go with Encoding Profiles or set your own profile adjustments.
Give your Flash video an Output File Name.
Click START QUEUE.
Go relax for about 30 minutes or more depending on how fast your computer is and how complex the video is.
Done.


Under setting the Encoding Profiles is a quick way to set everything but you can go deeper into the settings and adjust video and audio data rates, crop the video if need be and stuff but once you get the video down to a more manageable size YouTube will do the rest.

Now if you have Premiere CS3 you can go from your timeline to the Adobe Media Encoder under File / Export / Adobe Media Encoder and output your video to Flash video.
Once the Adobe Media Encoder opens click FORMAT and select Adobe Flash Video.
Again you can make adjustments as needed and you can view your video to see if you need to crop and such.
To me this is a little more intuitive for a single video as I would only use the Flash video Encoder for batch video encoding.
But either way you're covered.

Yes. Flash is the way to go. I have used it on my later youtube videos, and like the upload speed and quality.

Does uploading a FLV bypass the Youtube transcoding process? Up till now I've not had the ability to create an FLV directly, and had to accept what corruption Youtube has generated that represents my original clip.

If that process gets bypassed, I'd be happy to hear about it...
