Exporting to web help!	Can't Post

Hello Everyone

I am trying to send a web movie file to the company who is building my website. The guy told me that I should keep the file under 1mb for downloading purposes. Now . . .from Adobe Premiere Pro I have tried exporting as MPEG-2 and Quicktime numerous times and the smallest I can get the file is 7mb and even at that size the quality sucks! Frames are sometimes delayed, causing the audio and video to be off sync, and clips which I sped up their duration look like an echo effect, not to mention I think the sound became mono somehow and sounds like you know what.

Anywho, does anyone have experience with this sort of thing that could enlighten me?

Thanks.

I've used Sorenson Squeeze (www.sorenson.com) with pretty good luck. It's a nice compressor. I've never tried to get anythind down to 1mb though. That seems awfuly small. Especially with today's high speed internet. Anyway, the program has a bunch of presets for different size files. You can also create your own custom settings, but I find the presets work very well.

Your website builder doesn't understand video files. Even short video files properly compressed for the web are over 1 MB. Typical size would be 5 to 15 MB or so.

Thanks guys, I had a hunch that these people who are creating my website are amatures. I will contact the guy on Monday and tell him what you told me and see what he says. My experience with this company has been a headache so far, but hopefully things turn out good in the end.

Thanks
