Exporting for HTML 5 video (.webm & .ogg)

I can't believe there is not more demand for this. My web dev is asking me for over 300 video clips in both .web and .ogg - - AME does not do this.

Do you guys have this problem? Any sucess with a 3rd party plug-in of some sort. I can use Firefogg (from Firefox) but it's slow using over the web as opposed to exporting from Premiere.

I don't know if anyone is paying attention to this thread anymore, but I just put a WebM plug-in for Premiere/Media Encoder into beta.  Here are a couple download links:

WebM uses Vorbis for sound, but this plug-in can't actually write a seperate Ogg file. Now that I've gotten a little familiar with the Vorbis library, maybe it wouldn't be too tough to make a Premiere plug-in.

I don't know about Theora. Is there really demand for that?

What does that have to do with webm and ogg formats?

This comment, right here, gives a good insight into why Adobe hasn't been making what they need to make.

It seems like you can't seem to do something unless the users tell you they want it.

People don't ask for features that they don't think will ever happen. Just have a core team that says, "great idea, if it's feasible put it at the top of the list." Not, "well, lets see if the community asks for it before we put too many resources into accomplishing something that will definitely be useful because they may not want it right now, even though that's only because they haven't thought about how useful this tool would be." Yes, I am very sarcastic. That's sarcasm. They would never say that much in one comment, indicating how unintelligent the beginning of their statement was in their own statement.

WebM. It makes really small file sizes for the web while keeping them looking fantastic. Don't ask the community. Just Do it!

Also, if you can manage it, make it faster. It is like 20 times slower than H.264 to encode.

The very slow encode times are usually because you're using VP9, which is akin the HEVC. VP8 is faster and more like H.264.
