droid bionic, razr to premiere cs6 to YouTube.

[RossOlsen]

I'm looking for the best way to do this:
I record my daughter's basketball games, sons stock car races and some other things with work.Usually in 720 or 1080.


I edit it in Adobe premiere cs6 in its original state (sequence) then when it comes time to save it and or encode it for YouTube I am lost.I would like to encode it once.

So my question is what is recommended to:
1 save a file that I might burn to Blu-ray
2 best file format for archiving(so I can delete the other files)
3 upload to YouTube to share with family
4 I think h.264 Blu-ray.
But not Sure if the encoding time is worth the trouble orif there is alot off loss.
Thank you in advance couldn't find an answer for this situation.

Hi Ross & Welcome to Muvipix!

Saving, burning & web file are 3 different file formats.

To Burn to Blu-ray disc:
Select your sequence & File>Export>Media
This will take you to the Media Encoder. For the File Format Select the Blu-Ray option and the encoder will match up to your project settings. Save this file for Encore. I set up an Encore folder inside my Project folder that also has all the media & PrPro folder. Use Encore for to burn your project with a menu, etc.

To Export a file for YouTube:
Select your sequence & File>Export>Media.
In the Media Encoder select h.264 for the Format. Under Presets: scroll all the way down and choose a YouTube preset that fits your project. (I use Vimeo and their max file size is 1280 on the longest, so I use 720p...you can upload a 1080p but they resize it.)
Here is the YouTube info on files sizes:

To Archive your media:
I do not have any experience in this area. Maybe someone else will weigh in. I did find a tutorial on Creative Cow for Archiving:

Happy Burning

Archiving normally refers to storing the original source and the project files. Premiere even includes an archiving function to assist in gathering up the files and copying them to another location for storage. Archiving in this way allows you to tweak or re-edit the project later without quality loss. It sounds like you don't want to be able to re-edit from the original source in the future but want to save a high quality export of the final project instead. That's fine. The format will depend on what you intend to do with it. But, if you are exporting a high quality H.264 file for use in a Blu-Ray disc, you can certainly use that as your archive master.

The Adobe Media Encoder has the ability to exporting multiple formats at the same time which will save you time over exporting separately. Exporting consists of two steps: Rendering and Encoding. Rendering is where the effects and edits are applied and multiple layers are composited together into a final image. Encoding is the compression to the required codec. When you use Media Encoder to export multiple formats, the rendering is done only once saving you time overall.

Here are three tutorials on using the Media Encoder for outputing multiple formats. It's worth watching all three.

Thank You Thank You Thank You I didn't know you could save the projects as an archive that would be terrific way better than my original plan.
I will definitely watch those tutorials to find out about archiving and double and coding

Here's a tutorial specifically about the archive function.
