Hi folks
Hope someone can help me with a problem I'm having with a video I'm creating using Premiere for Editing. Since i'm a super geek I am creating a World of Warcraft game play video ;). I imported all the video I captured using fraps and pieced it together in premiere, but the last 4 renders using different codecs for compression have been coming out crappy or way to big (5 gigs one time lol). I'll either get choppy framerates, pixelated picture, or text will come out pixelated, etc. I think the problem is with the codecs i'm using for compression. Since i'm a noob I'm not sure which one would be best. Its about 17 minutes long so I would like to try to keep the file size somewhat small like around 100-200 megs while keeping as much of the picture quality as I can.
Anyone have suggestions on which codecs to use and which settings to make sure i check? Also could there be other issues other than the compression that could be causing my jittery, poor quality picture?
I would greatly appreciate it if someone could help me out. Been trying to get this thing rendered and shipped out to the WOW community, but rendering has stopped the process for 2 days now :(
If some UBBER person could help me out, maybe i'll post a link to the video and you can see the final product ;)
Also this came to mind.. Fraps video files are huge when you capture game play footage. like 30 seconds is usually over 100 megs atleast.. I didnt' compress these videos before putting them in Premiere. Could possibly that be the problem? or doesn't it matter how big the original videos are?
Thanks for your time
