Question

Exporting NOT to You Tube nor any social media platform but need small video output

Hi-

I need to export media from Premiere Pro for playback on retail sites that will not allow outside links.

• Acceptable Formats: Windows Media (.wmv), QuickTime (.mov) or FLV (.flv)

• Maximum Size Allowed: 499Mb. (Best results if under 100Mb.)

• File Length: Unrestricted

• Minimum Video Quality: At least 720px wide, at least 872 kbps. Either 4:3 (standard) or 16:9 (widescreen) aspect ratios work equally well

I have tried a couple of ways to do this but end up getting larger files than my MPG4s. So I am doing something wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you-

Musette

    I should add... the project and timeline I MADE was 640x360.  I put the full HD into it and THEN zoomed in and repositioned to get the shot I wanted (final crop and export image ). You can leave it full hd and just export the smaller size... it don't matter. The reason you can zoom in is because you don't lose any quality (cause the source is so much bigger than the timeline )

    hard to explain.

    As Rodney mentioned, filesize is determined by bitrate x video length. So your solution is to adjust your bitrate in your export settings, which can be done in a number of ways. But, there's some missing info here...

    1. What resolution is your original footage?

    2. What resolution are you trying to export to?

    Also, if you can post a screenshot of your export settings, that would help a ton! We can suggest how to export, but it'll be easier if we can point you where to go

    Thank you for your questions. I did not send a screen shot for I figured it out. I created the video as I normally do and then ran it through a web ap that converted it to an mpg 2. It s pretty easy. So again than you both!

    check this out.. it means you do a custom export … and tell the NLE what H and W to export (and what codec etc. ). The file size in bytes depends on bitrate x length of time.

    I just made a little 640x360 video yesterday and it was about 3 seconds long and about 2.5 megabytes. It was mp4 (h264) and I sent it to some friends as an email attachment so they could see a cottonwood tree shedding ( looks like it is snowing ).

    the reason I used 16:9 is cause that's what my camera shoots and I could put a full HD into that timeline and zoom in and reposition to suit what I wanted to show...

    first image, full HD frame

    2nd image export at 640x360 mp4

    make image size (export ) appropriate for your end user web page size etc.

    both images are on full HD monitor,  so the sizes you see are relative ( real ) sizes … viewed on a computer with full HD screen.
