Ok...this is how *I* work with Premiere Elements... Start a new project. Use the default preset of DV-NTSC.
Capture video. Edit video. When finished, go File, Export, Movie. Save it as an AVI. Generally the default settings are all fine. They should be the following... Export Video and audio Entire Timeline Filetype Microsoft DV AVI Video Settings Compressor: DV NTSC Frame size: 720h 480v (0.900) Frame rate: 29.97 frames/second Pixel Aspect Ratio: D1/DV NTSC (0.9) Fields: Lower Field First Audio Settings Compressor: Uncompressed Sample rate: 48000 samples/second Channels: Stereo Sample type: 16-bit Now, open Quicktime. Import AVI. Then File, Export. The settings you want to use are the following... Under "Video" Settings - Compression Type - H.264 - Motion - Frame Rate: 15FPS - Key Frames - Automatic - Data Rate - Restrict to 355kbits/sec - Optimized for Streaming - Compressor - Encoding - Best Quality (Multi Pass) Filter - No filters Size Custom Size - Width 320 Height 240 Now onto the "Sound" Settings - Format - AAC - Channels - Stereo (L R) - Rate - 22.050kHz Check "Show Advanced Settings" AAC Encoder Settings: - Bit Rate Format - Constant Bit Rate - Target Bit Rate - 32kbps - Precedence - Sample Rate - Quality - Better That should give you the following... http://www.taoofdavid.com/videos/baby_sphynx_2.mov I use this method all the time and the videos turn out fine for the web.
