    Anyone know how to edit video? How are you supposed to export???!?!

    I'm practicing with premiere and I took a 20 second clip that I downloaded and its 1.56 megs.

    I edited it down to 10 seconds, exported it as mpeg1, and now its 2.8 megs!
    So I tried again but this time exported it as mpeg2 and now a 10 second clip is 9.1 megs!

    AHHHHHHHHH!

    and the origional 20 second/ 1.5 meg clip I downloaded is very clear, my clips are smaller visually and crappier.

          I would suggest either Export - Movie instead of Export - Adobe Media Encoder or simply Save As.

          What your doing is re-encoding the movie in a different format, thats why the file size is larger.

              thanks but when I do export - movie then the only lets me save as an avi.

              If I do save as, it only saves the project, that doesnt do anything for the movie im working on.

                  SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, then you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60.

                              Reading the manual would help. You should only be working with DV AVI video captured from mini-DV tapes in Premiere, not any end user formats like mpeg or wmv. Let me repeat, mpeg and wmv are not really editable formats in Premiere and you shouldn't start with compressed videos like that anyway.

                              Once you edit your video, use Export movie to output a DV AVI video which you can them encode into mpeg or wmv with Cleaner or windows media encoder, or use Export, Adobe Media Encoder to export right from Premiere as a mpeg or wmv or whatever format you want with whatever quality settings that you want.
