TRAINING DESCRIPTION

Increasingly, the web is the final destination for all our work. Whether we are posting to YouTube, Vimeo, or a corporate website, the quality of our projects is increasingly determined by the quality of our video compression. Whether you are working in Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, Prelude, Encore, or simply compressing video from other sources, Adobe Media Encoder is central to your work.

With the Creative Cloud (CC) release of Adobe Media Encoder, Adobe spent a lot of time improving this product. In this week’s webinar, hosted by Larry Jordan, we take a close look at creating the highest quality image with the smallest possible file size. The goal of this session is to provide a series of step-by-step techniques you can use as a cookbook to improve your compression results.

If improving the look of your web videos is important to you, you need to see this video.

In this session, you will learn:

• Basic compression terminology and standards
• How to import clips
• How to create a custom destination
• How to use existing presets
• How to customize presets
• Suggested bit rates for compression
• How to export projects from Premiere Pro and retain maximum quality
