Exporting 60 minute documentary for Vimeo and Youtube.. advice?

[dantakesphotos]

Anyone have experience/tips/tricks for exporting a 60 minute documentary out of Premier?

I've got a Vimeo Pro account so space isn't really a problem, but we're looking for any recommendations with getting the right balance between bitrate and load time/speed. Obviously it will take forever to load on someones computer, but we're looking at our options here. Any tips on keeping sharpness similar to what we are seeing in Premier in full resolution? Here are some specs on the workflow that may or may not be helpful

- Shot on Canon 5D MK3s with Zeiss lenses
- Edited in Premier CC
- Color in Apple Color
- Titles in After Effects

Any help would be most appreciated. Never exported something so big before.. looking for advice from ya'll! Thanks!

Export a full res .mov then compress it in Compressor using their preset. Easy peasy.

Export from Premiere Pro using the appropriate Vimeo preset. Even easier (and probably better quality).

"...Adobe Media Encoder is much easier to use than Compressor, encodes faster, and produces much higher quality output..."

+1 for Media Encoder. Media Encoder whoops Compressor's ass when it comes to encoding for Vimeo or Youtube.
