The official music videos and trailers on YouTube have a very sharp quality and a low file size. I want the same settings for exporting my videos such that the quality is the highest and the file size is the lowest. I shoot videos from my phone camera. It makes a 7-8 minute mp4 file video of 1GB file size. On the other hand, a very high quality youtube video of 720 p resolution of approximately 1 hour 15 minutes length has that file size.

What settings can I use in Adobe premiere export settings to get the same result?

    HEVC will get you the best quality at the smallest size.

    But Ann's right.  You're starting with crap to begin with.  You can't expect Hollywood quality as a result.

    h264 mp4, 3-4mbit/s for video, 2pass

    192kbit/s for audio

    or just use the youtube preset and lower the data rate

    The official music videos and trailers

    Those companies probably use very good encoders such as Cinema Craft and the dont use phone footage.

    Quality starts by shooting good video with real camera's.

    If you want to use AME its trial and error.
