Downloading a video file over the World Wide Web
The data rate is less important than the size
of the video file on disk, because the main concern is how long it takes to download the file.
However, reducing the data rate for downloaded video can reduce the size of the video file,
so that it downloads faster.
You can use the Get Properties For command to analyze the data rate of files you export.
See “Analyzing clip properties and data rate” on page 127.
To specify the data rate:
1
Do one of the following:
•
To set the data rate for recording on videotape as the Timeline plays, choose Project >
Settings > Video Settings.
•
To set the data rate as you export a video file, choose File > Export > Movie, click Settings,
make sure the File Type is the one you want, and click Next.
2
Select Limit Data Rate to _ K/Sec and type the data rate required.
3 Select Recompress to ensure that Premiere exports a video file that is under the data rate you
specified. Choose Always from the Recompress menu to compress every frame even if it is
already within the data rate, or choose Maintain Data Rate to preserve quality by compressing
only the frames that are above the specified data rate. Recompressing previously compressed
frames may lower picture quality. Deselect Recompress to prevent current compression settings
from being applied to clips that were not altered when you edited them into the program.
(See “Recompressing clips” on page 351.) Then click OK.
Note: Some codecs do not provide control over data rate options. In such codecs, the options in
steps 2 and 3 will not be available.
