Formatting for Smugmug

[mfl1]

I would like to upload video files to Smugmug, but I can't figure out how to format them. Smugmug says that it prefers a .mov file with the h.264 video codec. Audio should be AAC 128kbps (stereo or mono only, no surround sound). When I go to the Publish & Share button in PRE 11, I see an option for creating a quicktime video, but I don't see reference to the suggested audio setting.

I also note that Smugmug suggests a program called MPEG Streamclip. I assume that ouputting in PRE, if I do it correctly, would obviate the need to use MPEG Streamclip.

Suggestions? Thanks.

Hi MFL1,
Take a look at Steve's article on Sharing below

Unfortunately, that article is a bit dated.

For version 11, I'd use Publish & Share/Computer/AVCHD with the preset for YouTube -- either the SD or HD, depending on your video.

This will create a great-looking mp4 that should load perfectly to SmugMug! (Don't worry about the MOV thing. An mp4 is essentially an mov file, even if it has an mp4 suffix.)

Thanks very much to both of you.
