Need to export a Premiere Pro Project.

[Coldkilla]

I know nothing about encoding or exporting in Premiere. I want to render a file in Premiere. I don't want the file to be horrendously huge or small. I want the quality to be good, so when I use another Editor, it's impossible to distinguish that I used Premiere to do certain scenes.

1. Why two editors: Vegas Editing is much easier and I'm still learning Premiere (Been disinclined to learn it since I never could figure out how to export anything @ a reasonable size/Quality ratio).
2. Vegas's default WMV rendering is perfect for DVD's and YouTube in Quality:Size Ratio. I wish Premiere would allow me to use those options but I don't understand enough about rendering to do so.

I would very much like to once and for all have a way to render a video in Vegas.

I currently have a 20 second FRAPS recorded clip. It renders on Premiere currently at 1+GB at a worse quality than a 3MB render using Vegas. I want the video to be MUCH smaller, but still look good.

If anyone would kindly please help... I would really appreciate it.

Sorry if my English and terminology was hard to understand.

There really is no easy way to do this, just play with the codecs untill you find one that you like size and quality. DIVX maybe? Try dvd format.

I was testing the "Adobe Media Encoder" and I swear, all of the video turns out somewhat pixelated.. I mean there are no smooth edges. I tried copying Vegas's default export settings... No luck.

I'm also having problems with Premiere. Whenever I try to export my project, no matter what format I choose, there's always an unknown error.

I've had so many problems but am determined to try and find a solution. I'd be perfect to see someone elses exported options .

All I need is a template to work from. Creating a FRAPS video and putting it on YouTube. I'd like to keep the quality, but don't want a 500gb file sitting on my desktop.

Default Resolution for fraps is: 720x480.

move this to software forum you might have the answer. I am using Premiere Pro 2.0 right now but I have not render/encode/export just yet until I am done with clips merge and cutting then I will figure out.
