Adobe Premiere Pro Exporting

So I have noticed how when I put my videos on the web they don't turn out right. I shot a video in squeeze mode, then I actually edited in FCE to save time instead of editing in Premiere Pro. I stretched it out to 16:9 and exported it as a 720p QuickTime file. But on YouTube, instead of it being full screen, it is a letterboxed video as wide as the 4:3 section of the player. In Premiere what exactly do I have to do to make my squeezed footage full widescreen video? I am new to Premiere, but would I make a DV-NTSC project or an HDV one? An answer would be greatly appreciated.

(PS: I Have Premiere Pro CS4)
 
Is your file coming out with bars, or is Youtube adding bars?

Also, you want an HDV or other HD project. NTSC is only for SD.
 
The project has them everywhere on and offline.
So for my sequence I chose 1080p30. But before that it asked me if I wanted my capture format to be HDV or QuickTime. Which one do I choose?

You should edit in a widescreen project; 1080 is not necessary. Then, if you want 720p for output, export as 1280x720, square pixels.
 
mmm..If you're experiencing with it that's fine but stick with 480.
the 1080 doesn't look too good...to me..
I've seen so much better footage shot with the DVX on youtube that's just SD (480)
 
You get black lines on the top and bottom when you uprez to HD because in SD, the widescreen is slightly wider than mathematically true 16:9.

That said, I agree; uprezzing 480 to 1080 often doesn't look good, especially figuring in the 4:1:1 color.
 
one thing i just learned: don't ever work with DVX100 footage on a 1080p timeline. You wanna see a comparison?

THIS IS THE VIDEO IN A 1440X1080P TIMELINE...LOOK AT THE JAGGIES AROUND THEIR HAIR AND THE GENERAL BLURRINESS OF THE IMAGE

thanks for the comparison!
yes it's ture, the 480 looks way better.

however, in the other threat there is another discussion going on.
and it's a movie trailer (METH) that's been shot with the dvx and up-converted to HD and it looks amazingly good.
so it might be the way you export it or the software you use.
I've got to know how he did that...because it looks too yummy......
 
Ok, the link i gave was to show what kind of footage i get when i export to 1280x720. I know what you mean by the meth trailer.

Secondly, what i'm trying to say is that DO NOT work with SD footage in an HD timeline. Work in a 480p timeline and then EXPORT as an HD file, whether it may be 720p or 1080p. Just don't cut it up in a 1080p or 720p timeline. Catch my drift?
