Premiere Export quality. (How do I improve it?)

[Randonu]

I have recently completed my first video using adobe premiere. I tried exporting it via realmedia export and windowsmedia export. It works and is small in size (about 15mb) but the quality is terrible, the screen shakes, and it skips in places. Whenever I directly export to video, however, the video quality is normal with no bouncing and no skipping. The only problem is that it takes up about 1GB of space; and I can't upload that. (I hope I'm not being to confusing, let me know if I need to clarify anything.). Does anyone know how to improve my video quality without making the video take up so much space?

There is NOTHING wrong with exporting a 1 GB (or bigger) lossless (read: uncompressed, HuffYUV, or Lagarith) file from Premiere. That is what it's supposed to do.

What a lot of people don't seem to get, though, is that the file you export from Premiere is NOT the same file you upload for online distribution.

Read the sections of <a href="http://www.animemusicvideos.org/guides/ ... >EADBAG</a> that have to do with using AVISynth, VirtualDubMod, and XviD to compress your video.

Just to complement:

After you have your 1Gb uncompressed file, you're supposed to compress it in VirtualDubMod or other program of your liking, preferably in a 2-pass encode. As Scintilla pointed out, just read EADFAG just after "Exporting your video via Premiere". You should be fine.

BTW, it is at this point most people get the audio wrong, specially if they changed the bitrate to make it editable in Premiere. It's very common to forget to change these things back to normal, as well as making the final video 23,976fps (if you were editing at 24fps). At least I forgot to do these in my first AMV
