Premier Exporting.

Hi, I was just wondering whether any of you knew what the best quality export settings are? I have looked over the net but couldn't find a distinct answer. What do you export in? As I am having trouble with my settings, as it shakes. Also, do you find that titles do no look very crisp when exported?

Here is an example of how my work is looking when exported as DV AVI. Is this pretty standard? Or is there a way of achieving better quality?

Try watchging it in somthing else rather than a windows programme, i.e Video LAN, just found out its just windows media player that makes it look all jumpy.

David,
I just had a chance to look at your example (I liked the clip, btw) and to be honest, the title didn't look too bad to me. I looked at it with WMP on a nice flat-panel display which could be a factor. Also the DV decoder that's being used by the player can be a big factor.

I just viewed your sample, now that I am back at home and the titles look great. I even paused and they have very smooth lines. I ran it in real player
 
I think the shake you are referring to might be the interlaced lines that show up during heavy movement. That's normal. See if deinterlacing your footage helps (Basically when you convert your footage with Discreet or Windows Media Encoder to a WMV or .MOV or whatnot you can set it to deinterlace your footage).
 
I dont think exporting from premiere for web is good at all. if you export from premiere, use QuickTime Sorenson. If you dont, invest a few bucks in QT7 Pro...

(For the rest of my explanations, you will have to have exported an uncomressed MicrosoftDV-AVi format version of your project)

H.264 is way up there for compression. It's absolutly beautiful. WMV is so non-universal that I'm trying to understand why the Sci-Fest is using it this time around... I mean macs can play it, but it looks horrible. QT on PC isnt as great as QT on mac, but the difference in QT on PC vs. WMV on mac is substanital.

So toss 30 bucks at Apple for QT7 Pro if you dont already have it, export with H.264 and limit the datarate to 500-600kbps, AAC audio and all that.

For my pc self (im playing jeckel and hyde tonight) download autoGk (http://www.autogk.me.uk/) and comress it in XviD avi format. Again, beautiful results and AutoGK is faster. I found AGK from my days as a pirate a year or so ago when ripping full on movies to 700 meg cd-sized files. But i have since used it to comress my own works. Just input what you thinkt the filesize should be and play around with it. See what comes out the best for you.

Hey Kroy, would you recommend those for 16:9 footage?
