You have your target, but because H.264 is smart enough to recognize the difference between a simple frame (a talking head, for example) vs. Why? It’s because H.264 can be a variable bitrate codec, where you can loosely control how many bits are thrown into every second of video. Remember there are two bitrate settings, Target and Maximum. Of course, this estimate doesn't always match the final exported file. So Premiere guessed around 150 megabytes for the 2 minute video because:ġ20 seconds (our video length) x 10Mbps (the bitrate) = 1200 megabits Luckily, the conversion between the two is super easy:Īlso 1 megabit = 1,000 kilobits (once in a while you see data measured this way) So what the hell is a megabit? It’s just a different form of measurement (think miles vs. In most cases, an H.264 file is an H.264 file and will work on almost any modern-ish video playing device. This just isn’t true (well, in most scenarios).

It might give newer editors the wrong idea that you need to export a different version of your H.264 file for an iPad, Android device, Youtube, etc.
It’s a mile long list that confuses editors for 3 reasons: 1. This is one of my least favorite dropdowns in any Adobe program… EVER. In Premiere’s Export Settings dialog box, after selecting H.264 from the Format dropdown, the next dropdown to select from is Preset. I’m going to use Premiere Pro to demonstrate the settings, but virtually everything in this article is applicable to most other NLEs and compression software. If you’re looking for an article on master / intermediate file formats like ProRes, Cineform, and DNxHD/HR, this article admittedly won’t be a ton of help. Didn’t we become video editors just to avoid math? And yet to really master the art of the export, we need to sometimes do just a bit of number crunching to hit that perfect balance between quality and file size.įor this article, we’re going to focus on the king of distribution formats, H.264. We all breathed a sigh of relief at the end of college or as soon as our math requirements came to an end. Let me just put it out there - math sucks (for most of us).
