Adobe Premiere help
 

hey, I've these long 30 min mpegs I want to cut into smaller pieces, but no matter what I do, I'm getting files like 10 MB per minute at 340x280 size using Cleaner EZ. I'm converting them at 75% quality, but cannot find out how to make those files smaller. Any help here? :helpme

That sounds about rite.

Convert em to WMV and problem solved.

God damn I hate this format on a website !

Why?

I usually see 2 mins MPEG at 3-4k, very good quality, so I guess I'm doing something wrong. Furthermore, WMV files are slightly smaller, nothing really important. Maybe a wrong Codec? I'm using the default Cinepak but tried DIVX, Intel Indeo and a couple more with just slight differences :(

You sure your not converting them to AVI?

no, avi is smaller, but I want MPEG, so I'm exporting to MPEG using cleaner EZ. If you ask because of the divx thing, it sounds strange since DivX is for avi format, but it's one of the processing codecs I've available at CLip > Properties > Video.

not more than me

sounds like premier 6.0
6.5 gives me other types of errors

Well quality has nothing to do with file size really, just motion.
What bit rate are you encoding at? That will play major role in size.

Cleaner EZ is the cut down version and no good for what you are trying to do as I believe most of the good mpeg stuff is disabled?
